Hi, I'm having a problem with the phone freezing on booting D:
Unlocked the bootloader.
Installed ClockworkMod recovery.
Made a backup.
[Not sure] rooted it.
I tried to install a ROM [CyanogenMod 10.1], but that made the phone freeze on the HTC screen instead, so I tried to restore the backup, but now I'm stuck on the HTC One Beats Audio screen & ADB won't recognise the phone is connected [I've got the drivers & it worked before].
Can anyone offer any help? Would be greatly appreciated.
Make a full wipe in the recovery then install the CM10.1, gapps and the vendors ! Don't reboot....go from the recovery to the bootloader
Adb reboot bootloader
Then flash the boot.img from the CM10.1
Then reboot the phone !

Thanks for the reply.
I can't get ADB to recognise that the phone is attached to the PC though, despite having the latest drivers [HTC Sync] & the fact that it worked earlier. I've done kill-server & start-server a hundred times.
Any idea why what I've tried so far would make it unable to be found?
Hold the power and the volume - button together until the phone reboots into the bootloader, from there you can go in to the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device. Copy the needed files and do as i described in my first post.
You don't need adb, you need to perform fastboot commands in the bootloader. The rest is done in the recovery

I already have a CM10.1.zip on the device, so erased the cache & flashed boot.img from that in the bootloader, then went into recovery & installed the .zip, but it's still bootlooping, just on the HTC screen this time though.
You need to flash the vendor installer in recovery also... find it in cm10.1 thread.

Okay, thanks for the help people!
I'm having an issue with getting the files onto the device to flash them now though. As I said, I had ADB working [how I got the CM.zip on there], but now it isn't & as there's no removable media for this phone, I don't know how I can get these onto the phone D:
In the device manager, it recognises the phone as a ADB thing, but checking the devices [adb devices] returns nothing.
I tried mounting USB in recovery but I got 'unable to open ums lunfile'.
Any ideas? Thanks again for the help so far.
CWM is out of date.
DL this: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Copy to fastboot folder and rename recovery.img
Phone into fastboot mode, type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then mount and it works.

Hello,
One friend of mine have flashed franco kernel, but problably the kernel was corrupted and now he get stuck at the google logo.
How can he push a new kernel to the phone memory to flash it in the recovery?
Adb push in a custom recovery or you can reflash your ROM

I tried this and it said "insufficient permissions for device" in ADB. My phone randomly rebooted and gets stuck on the boot logo, but everything on my sdcard got deleted. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus if that helps
If it's only the kernel causing problems, the easiest would be to run "fastboot flash boot <name of boot.img here>" from fastboot?(the original boot.img from the rom he's using would be found inside the zip file)
But if you screwed something else up in the process, you may need to flash the entire rom again from the recovery. If you are using cwm recovery, I believe it allows you to mount storage, so you can just move the rom file from the computer, and if you are using twrp, they have an option to sideload(under advanced), where you can connect you phone to your pc and run "adb sideload <name of rom.zip file here>" and it will install it right away.

this will not work, not with cwm nor with twrp, at this point; likely, it will never work as we don't have removable storage.
Then just use the sideload, it works quite well for me.

Or just 'adb push rom.zip /sdcard/', or if that doesn't work, 'adb push rom.zip /data/media'.

adb works fine with TWRP if you have updated adb drivers/adb daemon.
guess fastboot flashing images also eludes you.
so no, you're not in the grave.
*note* thanks for necroing a thread from December.
No, in bootloader its fine.
And apparently (if It wasn't a fluke) I think i booted normally , and having no rom it just stood there, and adb worked.
that saved me
TWRP dissapoints . have to look for replacement
stuck in recovery
so Im stuck in a similar situation
before installing a ROM which instructed to wipe the device, i did so, in fact i over did it.. wiped data/cache/davlik/system and internal storage
the same storage which had the ROM that i was supposed to install after wiping it.
I felt very dumb, but now stuck with the bootloader / fastboot / and TWRP recovery .. the TWRP recovery version i have HAS the adb sideload feature
which i've tried to install the Cyanogen ROM using ./adb sideload filename.zip , which hasnt work for Cyanogen but worked for the GApps after that ( I thought that was kinda weird).
the sideload command goes thru the sending of the entire ROM to the phone, but it never installs correctly..
NOW im stuck
any suggestions or help on how i can do it with what appears to me to be as fastboot / adb side load / and recovery options"??
thank you very much in advance

Thankyou anyone for helping me.
I was trying to update my phone to the Maximus rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601543) from an AOKP JB ROM.
I succesfully followed the instructions to relock my phone, the flash the firmware, then unlock it again. Unfortunately I was foolish and didn't think to copy across the rom.zip before doing this. I tried restoring a Nandroid backup but was stuck in a bootloop. I also tried reflashing the previous AOKP Rom that I had on there. In this case it booted but I had no radio, no wifi, and importantly I couldn't mount over USB to copy across the new ROM. I'm guessing neither method works because of the new HBOOT?
I went to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190 and it's clear that I have to flash an RUU through fastboot to get back to a working state. Unfortunately All the RUU links for JB Roms as listed on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 seem to be dead so I can't download them. Similarly the links to older RUUs found here http://www.filefactory.com/f/e3e8b30e62a4a8aa/ all require a premium account because they are over the 500MB limit.
Can anyone tell me where I can please get an RUU to restore my phone to working order, or if there's another method available? Thankyou very much for your help.

Thankyou for the suggestion, but the problem with that method is that once again the ROM I want to flash has to be moved over to the virtal SD card of my phone. Since the ROM on it is currently not working I can't copy anything across to the SD card through the usual means. Is there a way I can copy it across using fastboot, as that is still working fine? I had a look at the fastboot help and there didn't seem to be any way. What I need is a ROM that can be flashed over fastboot, which I understand can be done with the stock RUUs?
I'm not panicking, I know that I will be able to get it back up and running, I just need a bit of help to get there.

Thankyou so much for that suggestion. That would really help. I'm sorry, I don't know what I did, but now if I try to go into recovery the recovery flashes breifly on screen and then it resets. I tried reflashing it, using the All In One toolkit and using Fastboot.exe. I also tried flashing both the CWM recovery and the TWRP recovery, neither of them worked.
Thankyou for your help again, I'm sorry but recovery was working before, I think all I did was flash a boot.img but could that break recovery? I even tried going through the whole relock, flash firmware.zip, unlock, flash recovery procedure to see if that would work but it didn't.
Do a fastboot command
Put the phone in bootloader / fastboot USB menu
Fastboot erase cache
Check if you can enter recovery after that

Thankyou! That fixed the recovery issue. Once I could get into recovery I could copy across the ROM, flash it, flash boot.img (not that that was a problem) and my phone is now in woring order again.
Once again, many many thanks.
Glad you got it sorted !
Hi all,
I think my friend and i bricked his phone last night.
Its the HTC one x and we used the Hasoon2000 method. I think the problem was the perm root part of the software said unable to connect to device.
I searched around and someone said to flash supersu and that should do it. However after flashing that we did a backup of the phone in clockwork recovery.
We then tried flashing the viperX rom which we did on another one X and worked fine, it got to 1% and restarted. It then stuck at the quietly brilliant page.
We can't get it to boot into recovery but can get it to go to the bootloader. We tried to do the fastboot command from the PC to erase fastboot cache but it couldnt connect to the device.
I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764421 and but it is about the AT&T version, what recovery image would i need?
Also how can i tell if it is hard bricked or soft bricked? As i'm worried it could be hard bricked cause i couldnt erase the fastboot cache.
Any help is appreciated, and sorry if this is answered somewhere else but i couldnt see an answer.
Bit more bootloader info:
Unlocked
S-On
Hboot 1.39.0000
If possible i'd like to help my friend finish rooting it but if its easier put it back to normal.
Again thanks if anyone can help me.
What does the bootloader say, EVITA or ENDEAVORU ?
It says endeavoru
Then stay away from the HTC one XL forum, its a different phone !!!
Do you have the HTC drivers installed and a folder on the pc with the fastboot files ?
Place these files in a folder like this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
C:\fastboot\files i gave you
Then put the phone in the bootloader and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot devices
If a serial comes up we are good to go !

Just connected it to my laptop and the pc said fastboot drivers installed and made the noise of a device connecting and disconnecting.
Haven't tried what you said yet as it said battery is too low on the bootloader. I've now plugged it in a plug socket and have it on the htc quietly brilliant screen. I take it this should still charge it?

Is it possible for you to turn the phone off?
IF so it should charge a bit quicker that way
Also just to clarify, how did you try to install Viper X on your phone?
Hmm no, if its bootlooping then yes. Is the bootloader unkocked and do you have a custom recovery installed yet ?
In case you have a custom recovery installed put the phone in the recovery it will charge the batt in there .....
Otherwise put the phone in the bootloader and run this file from within the fastboot folder
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuously reboot the phone and charge it little by little, leave it like this for an hour or so.
No, if i go into bootloader and fastboot then power down it turns itself back on if its plugged in.

The bootloader says unlocked, and we had CWM recovery installed it no longer loads up, it just reboots itself.
I'm confused by what you mean, what command would i use to run that file from the fastboot folder and after doing that do you mean i should leave it charging from the laptop?
Link to image of the bootloader if this helps - http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=11217
Just connect the phone to the pc and put the phone in the bootloader then execute the .bat file from the fastboot folder (download it and move it in there)
It should start rebooting the phone over and over again.
Edit : I see fastboot usb in the bootloader that's good ! :thumbup:
We need to get the batt charged so we can reflash the recovery, that will probably solve it all.

Rename it to recovery.img and Copy the file in the fastboot folder. Put the phone in the bootloader again and flash the recovery
All these commands are executed from the command prompt inside the fastboot folder.

Then enter the recovery by pressing hboot one time (confirm with powerbutton) then press recovery

If you do this, you will be good. Maybe you van skip some steps because you already did them before but I mention them anyway
Download the viper x JB rom, open it with an unpack program and copy the boot.img and place it in the fastboot folder. Copy the rom.zip to the phone (mount as usb drive in the mounts & storage part of the recovery)
Now put the phone back in the bootloader and flash the boot.img
Fastboot erase cache

Enter the recovery again and do a full wipe , also wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. Then install the rom.zip with the

Install the viper and choose in the aroma installer of the rom FULL WIPE and the question you get about the custom kernel you answer with NO !
Don't worry about root, the rom is standard rooted

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.

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.

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 Yu Yureka fans!!!
This for the Yu Yureka fans who want to root the phone but don't want to miss OTA update by flashing custom recovery
In this thread i will tell you how to ROOT your Yu Yureka without flashing custom recovery.
This method will not flash custom recovery over stock recovery, this will just boot the custom recovery once just to flash the superuser.zip. so you will be back to stock recovery after flashing superuser.zip.
So lets get started...
Your Bootloader should be UNLOCKED
Files you need:
1. adb and fastboot drivers
2. A CWM recovery link (don't worry we wont flash it, it is just needed to install superuser.zip)
3. Superuser.zip link (save this in your sd card or internal memory)
Note: Keep recovery.img file in the same folder where adb and Fastboot drivers are placed and always open command window from that folder.
Connect your phone to pc via data cable
Steps:
1. Open command window (cntl+shift+right click)
2. Type
Code:
adb devices
if your device is connected you will get it in connected devices
3. Type
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
4. Type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot recovery-yu.img
now your device will boot into recovery mode
5. Select install zip from sd and navigate where you have downloaded the superuser.zip and select install.
6. Done!!! Your device is rooted and you are still in stock recovery :good: you wont miss the OTA
To check if you are in stock recovery just reboot into recovery :good:
Hit thanks if this helped :good:

You can't boot the recovery image on locked bootloader; we have covered this fact already.

Unable to get the 3rd command working. It keeps waiting for the device and the device reboots in normal mode. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, will check. Although I downloaded the drivers just today, so not sure, how it is not up to date. Anyway, will check it once I am home in 3 hours.
tried resintalling the drivers. didn't help. command prompt still keeps on waiting for device forever, while phone is in fastboot mode.
Edit:
If I cancel the third command, and check the list again, phone is not listed. Somehow, after rebooting into bootloader, phone stops the adb connection.
i am on twrp recovery can i flash this recovery on that and update the new ota?
please help
