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
God bless you.
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
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:
ACCIDENTALLY MY ****
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
Hi,
I have been trying to root my phone to install ARHD. I installed the boot.img file from the downloads section, installed ClockworkMOD, copied the ROM to the SD Card and unlocked the phone using HTCDEV.com.
However, now when the phone tries to boot, the lock screen appears, freezes then the phone reboots. Ican get into CWM Recovery but I can only see an Android folder, Lost.DIR folder and My Documents folder. I cannot see the ROM.
What can I do to get out of this Bootloop?
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
boot into recovery
install zip from sd card
choose your rom
install
viola
any of these steps that you not make? If you can follow through all these steps you should be good to go
good luck

Thanks for the quick Reply shadehh!
I can follow the instructions up to Install Zip from SDCard. When I choose that option I can only see the following directories:
Android/
LOST.DIR/
My Documents/
I've searched through all 3 directories and no sign of the ROM. I had originally copied it to a new folder call ROMS on the root of the SD-Card.

Ah this looks crappy, your phone i think is not in big **** just yet. Looks like you've got to find a way to push your rom into your phone and i think i just recalled something...
I know this is written in the One S section but i see no reason why this shouldn't work with the HoX
What this basically does is it lets you put a rom on your sdcard through CWM, this i hope helps you get back on track : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
try putting across again go in to recovery and mount the storage and drag and drop it over again see if that helps
adb will not detect the device as I cannot get into the operating system to turn on USB debugging
when I mount the SDCard, my PC still cannot see the drive so I cannot copy anything across.
Any other ideas?

install following packages:
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform Tools
Google USB Driver Package
uhhh, then check if your device gets detected?
Also have you got HTC Sync installed?
EDIT: If this doesn't help then i'm clueless. Hope someone else can help you
Phone wont even charge now. Think my next stop is the nice man at the Vodafone shop.
If you have latest cwm 5.8.4.0 then you can charge in recovery. You can also mount your sdcard to put the ROM back on there in cwm
Go on mounts menu then choose mount USB storage then plug to PC.
It should appear in computer and you can copy back over

Thankseveryone for your assistance.
What I had to in the end was to flash stock recovery . This allowed me to then factory reset which got the phone up and running, albeit, in stock, but unlocked.
Now, do I bite the bullet and load a ROM on or be thankful that I dodged a bullet?:laugh::laugh:
Again, thank you all sooooooo much!!!!!
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

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

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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

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

okay so heres what happened.
I have an international htc one x that is indeed rooted with no roms installed.
I did create a back up and then tried to install the MIUI rom (but I dont really know where that is on my phone. I know I made one with rom manager. I dont have any backups on my computer though)
It worked, however, it didnt have wifi or data signals so i went back to try again.
I opened my bootloader screen. For the record, it is unlocked and hboot is version 1.73 if that helps.
I wiped cashe/data/delvic everything and even factory reset and installed the MIUI RD rom now hoping it would have a difference.
The darn thing got stuck on the MIUI bootloader for hours.
I did the same thing again a few times, sometimes in different orders and then it passed on and another screen came saying 'starting apps'. That got stuck for hours too.
Now I don't have any other roms on my phone, just the MIUI RD. The original miui just vanished too, i dont see it anymore. Also, when I put my USB wire to the phone and connect it to the pc, I cant transfer newer files into it. So this is all I have access to on my phone apparently.
I tried flashing a boot.img and a couple kernels but no luck. I've been trying to do this for all day and this is my first time so I don't know much about it.
I've been googling and somethings say to open cmd and type but i keep getting 'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
Currently, its not stuck at either the MIUI screen or the Starting Apps. but just the HTC logo screen and not going past.
I don't really want to install any new roms considering i've worked really hard to get this to work and I really want it now more so.
How do i fix this? I want to use this rom.
flash philz recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240646), usb mounting should work on that, then:
steps to install ROM
1. bootloader version should be 1.3x
2. copy ROM to SD Card
3. copy boot.img INCLUDED in the ROM zip to fastboot folder
4. flash the boot.img in fastboot
5. in recovery, wipe system/data/cache/everything
6. flash rom
7. restart
but how exactly do i put it on my phone? my computer isnt detecting my phone when i connect it? im sorry im not exactly an expert on this.
Go to recovery - mounts and storage - hook up the usb cable - tap the last option in the mounts and storage list and wait a few minutes. It won't be mounted instantly
ok i flashed the philtz recovery but when i flash the boot.img it says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
installation aborted
for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957490
thats the rom i used and i flashed the boot.img flasher thats right above the download link
edit: also i tried just flashing the rom again and im still stuck on the HTC screen.
its not even going to the miui screen or starting apps anymore. :[
Boot.img must be flashed via fastboot. Not via recovery !
ok, i looked up how to fastboot, downloaded sdk files and i moved the boot.img into the fastboot folder and i opened command prompt there and wrote fastboot flash boot boot.img but i keep getting:
'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
what did i miss?
EDIT: ok, so the fastboot folder i got from the page didnt work so i used a different fastboot folder, dragged the .boot there and now it worked! finally passed the screen and wifi is connecting!
thank you!
Good, thanks to @tomascus. He summed it up real nice
