Hi I have a India "HTC__038" CID HTC One X. I tried to install CM10.1 so these are the steps i did before I got stuck.
1. unlocked bootloader from HTC.
2. flashed cm10.1 nightly and gapps
unfortunately since i did not backup my ROM i am struggling to get my phone working. Please help me. Super crazed out.
You need to flash the boot.img file, and you need to install the vendors file too !
Make a full wipe in the recovery and install cm10.1 then the gapps and then the vendors
http://db.tt/u5FF3jgi
Then you boot into the bootloader
Adb reboot bootloader (from the commandprompt)
Then flash the boot.img file, its in the cm10.1.zip file
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
hi i am a newbie so please can we do this one step at a time please.
What recovery did you flash ? Type and version number ?
Edit : Ow and now did you flash the custom recovery ?
i did not have a recovery when i flashed it
You cant install a new rom without a custom recovery !
The basic steps are :
Unlock the bootloader
Flash a custom recovery
Make a full wipe
Install the new rom inside the custom recovery
Flash the boot.img with fastboot commands from the pc to the phone
You didn't do your homework mate
Go in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
There are tutorials on Adb/fastboot commands ....
thats the problem. the ROM is deleted and I have no way of adding any ROM now. can we chat thru IM this is taking too long.
thank you. i have my phone now unlocked but i am trying to flash the "boot.img" (from CM10.1) and then going to recovery->backup and restore but still this does not do anything
Did you flash a custom recovery ? Flash this one
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Put it in the fastboot folder on the pc and Renske it to recovery.img
Put the phone in the bootloader and open a command window inside the fastboot folder. Hold shift + right mouse click then open command window here
Then you type :
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and go to mounts and storage - mount as usb diskdrive/mass storage. Copy the cm10.1, gapps and the vendors file there
Then perform a full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache,data,system
Then do what i wrote my first reply
Ps installing the rom is done with the option :
Install zip from sdcard - choose zip from sdcard.
now how do i copy CM10.1, Gapps and vendor files from computer to phone. I am not able to see the phone on my disk drive.
Mount it as a usb mass storage device in the mounts and storage menu inside the custom recovery
WOW AWESOME. got it installed now. YOU SAVED MY DAY(/NIGHT). now time to spend time and get my phone back to how it was before. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
Read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

Post the number please

I was following this guide with the intention of installing Cyanogenmod on to my HTC One X (international version), and I got as far as the Flashing a ROM section, towards the bottom, when I reached step 5, which reads "Make sure you already have your shiny new ROM .zip on your internal memory as you cannot enable mass storage in the current recovery builds."
At this point I realised I had not done this, and I have no way of putting the ROM onto the phone. Is there anything I can do, or do I have to start from scratch, and if so, how do I do that?
I'm following this guide regarding installing the ROM, but is there a better one? That guy cannot spell.
I also have this thread open for CM10.1, but it's quite confusing. Should I be downloading the following?: Beta 7 (pure JB vendor): http://d-h.st/fo4 - Kernel 3.1.10 included.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, and "backed up." I don't know what I've backed up, but I've backed up something. I have not wiped anything, and I still appear to have a functional phone.
you probably backed up the stock rom however to push the rom onto your phone you should go into recovery and mount USB and the put the rom onto the sdcard that's it...

Do I just place the file in the main folder, or does it go somewhere specific? Thanks for your help by the way.
You can mount it inside the recovery as a diskdrive and yes you need that cm10.1 + gapps if you want them too. Mount it and copy the rom and gapps to it
Here is a small tut i wrote earlier. ...
This counts for recovery cwm 5.8.4.0 (otherwise a full wipe in any other recovery must be done)
In recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache,data,system
Remove the cable to the pc before installing the rom !
Then install CM10.1 after that GAPPS.....DO NOT REBOOT
Reconnect the cable and ......
type in the fastboot command window
Adb reboot bootloader
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (the file from the rom)
Fastboot erase cache

Thanks for your comprehensive reply dude. Does the gapps (Google Apps I assume?) include Google Now? I'd become quite accustomed to that particular gadget and I will miss it.
Actually i have to guess yes.....i never tried it !
Ow and my apology to matt for barging in like this......

Ok, once this gapps is downloaded I am good to go I think. If I brick it I can just break it and claim it on the insurance. Although this phone is brand new because my old one drowned a couple weeks ago, so they mightn't like two claims in such quick succession.
yeah gapps have google now too

One more question guys, and this is where I possibly reveal how idiotic I am...
How do I install the ROM? I have the two files on the storage (in unzipped folders), but how do I install them?

you need the cm10.1 rom.zip and the gapps.zip... go into recovery choose .zip and select the rom.zip first, after that install the gapps.zip following the same steps before... then reboot and enjoy the rom

Well you have a certain folder on the pc....from where you also flashed the recovery ? It contains fastboot.exe and adb.exe files ....right? You open the cm10.1.zip file and you see the boot.img file in there, you copy that to the fastboot folder on the pc and flash it

oh yeah forgot about that sorry...
before going into recovery you should go into fastboot mode, connect the phone to your computer and type those command in the terminal/cmd, the boot.img file can be easily found in the cm10.1 thread or in the rom.zip... after that install the rom following the steps above...

I'm on a Mac, so the guide said I only needed the fastboot file, not the adb one. What do you mean "flash it"?
I've rebooted the phone as you said, but it just says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." I click Ok and it says that again.

fastboot mode: power off the phone, power+vol down, select fastboot and press power, you're done
You can go in the bootloader first and flash the boot.img. I described it the other way around because you end with a cache erase to avoid boot problems (got this from the thread itself)
Basically it comes down to this
You put the phone in the bootloader and you see a red text that says "fastboot usb"
At that point you flash the boot.img from the mac to the phone.
Then you unhook the cable and do the rest of the guide
Hello, I was flashing the latest version of ViperX and it wouldn't boot so I decided to reinstall. After reinstalling I updated my hboot to the latest version and was told to erase everything such as cache, system, dalvik etc. It deleted my backups, I have lost ClockWorkMod on my phone and ADB wont detect it. I also have no rom on my phone as of now, I think I could fix it if I could get ADB to detect the phone. When I plug my phone into the computer it detects it as a HTC but when I type "adb devices" I get nothing coming up
Could someone suggest something to fix it?
Hold your volume - and the power button together until you see the bootloader !
Is the bootloader unlocked ? And what version do you have now ?
Unlock the bootloader if its relocked. Put the unlock code.bin file in the fastboot folder and flash it
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Download this file and place it in your fastboot folder, rename it to recovery.img and flash it
http://db.tt/S74XQEtu
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Well I'm getting there.
I've reinstalled CWM and I'm looking to install the ROM now but it has been deleted from my SD card, either that or my sd isn't working.
Is there a way to access my sd card without a ROM Wmaybe install and flash without using the "choose zip from sdcard" option?
When I press "choose zip from sdcard" it says "No files found."
What do I do now?
Select mounts and storage and mount usb storage.
(if you get an error (ums) DL this: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
Then copy the viper x rom to the sdcard.
Make a full wipe in the recovery
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, system, data
Then install the rom.....do not reboot if you did not flash the boot.img
Type in the commond prompt
Adb reboot bootloader
Then flash the boot.img from the viper x rom, found inside the rom.zip !
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
If you already flashed the boot.img you can skip the last part

Connect usb cable (obvious) and it pops up on your pc. Then just copy it over.

When i get my phone im gonna root it and so on.. so know im wondering how i should do it.
I watched a video and he showed that he took the "boot.img" file and flashed it manually, so after that what will i do next? Is it just go into recovery and flash the ARHD rom with aroma or how does it goes? please help

First you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery......then make a NANDROID BACKUP
download the ANDROID SDK BUNDLE, unpack it and navigate to the platform tools folder.
Point in the folder and then hold down shift and click the right mouse button. Select open command window here.
Now put the boot.img from the new rom in that platform tools folder , put the phone in the bootloader. Flash the boot.img
Type this in the command window
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the custom recovery
Perform a full wipe (all you can wipe but not the sdcard) and install the rom !
I need this clear in my head, cos I am going around in circles trying to get a ROM working on my HOX.
I have an unlocked HOX and I use a MAC.
My understanding of what I need to do to get a custom ROM working is as follows (please correct me if/where I go wrong):
Phone needs to be unlocked: YES, DONE.
Preferred ROM downloaded from chosen XDA link: YES, DONE.
Boot.img file from said ROM also obtained: YES, DONE.
Via fastboot, I need to firstly flash the recovery (This, I can do. I'm using ClockworkMod 5.8.4.0)
I know that I then need to flash the downloaded 'Boot.img' (I don't know if it needs to be located on the SDCard first, or straight from the Mac).
Looks like I now need to flash empty the cache (Again, this I can do).
Then I know that I need to boot into recovery.
Copy ROM.zip over onto the SDCard.
Mount the SDCard and select 'install zip from sdcard' then select the ROM.zip.
Reboot system now.
ROM should work.
So, why am I getting stuck on the ROM's boot up splash screen
You need to flash the boot.img from the fastboot folder on the mac
Its the same as flashing the recovery
But replace :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img with
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And don't forget to make a full wipe in the recovery before installing the new rom

Hello guys
I rooted my phone recently and I am using CM10.1 since. I wanted to switch to different roms using ROM manager but every time I try it it just reboots back to CM.... idk what to do...
I have an HOX Int trying to switch from CM 10.1 to Nocturnal xi40.
Thanks in advance)
Don't use ROM manager...
1. Download the ROM, extract the boot.img to fastboot folder and copy the rom.zip to your phone.
2. Go to fastboot mode and flash the boot.img via fastboot and then 'fastboot erase cache'.
3. Go to recovery make a full wipe...(Data/cache/dalvic)
4. Now flash the ROM.zip from recovery.
5. Reboot!
Follow these steps every time you flash a new ROM!

I know what you mean but mount as usb drive must work. Do you use the original HTC usb cable ? Are you using a direct usb 2.0 port on the pc ?
And if you see the : unmount and go back text you are in the mounting menu, at that point the sdcard is being mounted ! Don't tap "go back" or "unmount"
