Hey guys,
I think I just bricked my phone...
I was trying ViperX Rom and somehow that didn't work. I did everything full wipe, flashed included boot.img, installed rom, flashed boot.img again, but it just didn't boot. So I thought, I just restore my backup with twrp. Everything seemed fine, but I don't have a IMEI in the options, no signal, nothing. I think TWRP said something at the beginning of the restore about "Couldn't mount android secure", any ideas?
Assume you flashed the boot.img from the nandroid backup also and not still on the viper one?
Sent from my HTC One X
Do I have to do that manually? It said "restoring boot" in the process.
Also I can see my IMEI in the bootloader, so it's still there.
Yeah, it can't be flashed/restored automatically due to lack of s off.

YEEEESSSSS, that did it, god thanks!
But I'm still wondering why the ViperX Rom woudln't boot...
What is your hboot version?

edit: I really followed the instructions step by step. I did: Wipe Cache, wipe dalvik, wipe data, wipe system. Then I booted into bootloader and flashed the boot.img which was in the ViperX 3.4.3 zip. Then I booted into recovery erased cache again and installed the viper rom. I checked "Full wipe" in aroma. Then I didn't boot but went into bootloader again and flashed the boot.img again. After that I wiped the cache again and did the final reboot and it didn't boot.
edit2: okay, I just found this in the viper thread:
3.4.3 has booting up problems as you can read on the last pages. Download 3.4.0 from the OP and install that. Then do the ota's to 3.4.3

Agreed, it's one of the best I've tried. It was like having a new phone when I first put it on. Glad you got it sorted.

OK I have accomplished s-off and rooted the phone and installed Clockwork but for some reason I cannot flash the CM7 Port that alquez has provided us with? Here is what I get when I try to flash it. Take note I have flashed roms to the phone and they worked but this one will not and it's the one I want.
Bcoz your using an old recovery. Download the latest on in development section. Its thread is CWM.

Like jikantaru said, you have an old recovery version, get this one in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
That is the one that I had downloaded.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Yes yet another problem. Got the recent version of clockwork and it worked until I rebooted. Now it's hanging on the white HTC bootscreen!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

White bootscreen? That's not good.. if it was CM7 hanging, you just boot into recovery again, wipe cache partition, then goto Advanced and clear davlik cache, then reboot.
Trying it again now!!!

I had something like this. Install the clockwork based recovery from XDA.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S running cm7 with overclocked 806 cpu and data2whatever using XDA App
After installing Cyanogenmod 9 on the One X I started to notice extremely poor signal, Mobile and Wi-Fi. Also the phone would crash and randomly reboot when doing simple tasks such as opening messages etc.
Upon trying to get into recovery to install a different rom, the phone now flashes on a black screen and restarts the phone.
To try and solve this issue, I unrooted the phone and restored to stock recovery.
I then re-rooted the phone and installed clockworkmod recovery again.
I can now access clockworkmod recovery although it seems to have no effect. Installations of any rom fail and cyanogenmod always pops straight back up again after rebooting.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Does anyone have a way to fix this? Possibly to force the phone completely back to stock?
You can try first "SuperWipe" (from ARHD's thread) and flash a new ROM (don't forget boot.img before...)

Ran superwipe and tried to install the stock rom. Superwipe ran fine and did the job, although the rom installation still failed as it was doing before and I am now stuck with a htc bootloop. The device won't boot into recovery either. Any ideas anyone?

Did you try holding down the Power and Volume Down buttons while in the bootloop to enter the bootloader? Hold them down until the lights start to flash, the screen goes off and then the bootloader comes up.
If you can get into recovery with that, factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) then try install the ROM.
I'm not the best person to be helping, but I hope that works for you!
I had a similar problem once where the phone would just sit on the HTC One X screen, and trying to go into recovery just put the phone back to the HTC screen. I fixed it by flashing the boot.img, factory reseting, clearing out caches and installing the ROM again. No problems since.
I'm afraid if this doesn't work, I may have to abandon you and let someone else take over, as I'm no expert, but I'll see what I can do to help.
Edit: sorry, it is 2AM here and I need some rest for an early start at 6AM. I will check up on this thread when I wake.

FIXED!!!
To anyone else having this problem, I downloaded ARHD Flashboot 7.0.0 and ARHD 7.0.0, followed the instructions on what to do and installed ARHD successfully.
This has now completely gotten rid of Cyanogenmod and seems to have got clockworkmod working again.
It's probably work using the "Fix Permissions" option in ROM manager before you attempt this as I believe that is what got clockworkmod working and able to install files again. (I may be wrong)
Thankyou for everyone's assistance.

So, I was relocking my HOX in order to get the OTA JB update from carrier (H3G) in order to use the new Viper ROM.
All went well and managed this. Got re rotted and installed CWM ans Super SU.
However, I read that before installing the JB Viper ROM it was important to do a full wipe. Using CWM i did this. Specifically I did the wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and format system.
Now my phone is stuck on the white HTC screen. Please help.
Thanks
You formatted system, which basically wiped the rom. Reflash and don't format system.

And don't forget to flash the boot.img file !
Thanks for the quick response and apologies for the basic and wrongly termed questions. Just panicking a little.
How do i get the ROM and boot.img on to the fone? Because it sticks at the white screen the pc doesn't seem to detect it.
Last time i used a stock RUU and followed that process. Will i be able to flash the new Viper ROM instead?
thanks
The boot.img is supposed to be flashed from the PC. To get the Rom into the phone you need to go back to clockworkmod, go into mounts and storage and press the mount usb thing
Edit - to flash the boot.img find a thread about fastboot. Don't worry you'll get there
To get the ROM on the phone boot into cwm and GOTO mounts & storage
Then mount USB storage
It should now be detected as a drive on your PC and you can copy the ROM back over

Thanks. I did as you guys suggested and was able to install the Viper ROM (used the tweaked stock kernel as recommended in the download).
So have a ROM now but I have no service with my carrier and when I try to connect to wifi it says 'error'. Have I missed or done something wrong?

Got it resolved. I had used the tweaked kernel and assumed that this was not standard, so when asked about which kernel i was using i said it wasn't the viper one.
So i went back to basics and used the kernel that came with the ROM zip and just flashed both. Working fine now. The only question is whether I could have used the tweaked kernel and answered yes to using the viper version?
Thanks for your help. Felt like I have learned a fair bit in the last 12 hours though!
Well if you flashed a different custom kernel you can answer that with the question so it won't load the stock modules but backs up the custom modules from the custom kernel. This way it won't mess up functionality.
When you use a boot.img without it proper modules it can mess up those things you experienced. Hope i make my self clear

Sent from my Bladed One X. Blade v5.0.0 is here. Based on RUU and with OTA.
Hi All,
Yesterday I took my Tegra 3 (International) One X back to Stock ICS using RUU. Everything went smoothly after I relocked my bootloader and ran the RUU.
Then I proceeded to get all the OTA updates until I had JellyBean (3.14.707.24) with no further updates pending. Yay for Jellybean! The next thing I did was install CWM recovery and perform a nandroid backup (which didn't seem to restore later, although was created correctly).
At this point, I thought I would try using a CM10 rom to remove sense and I went ahead and installed it, flashing over the boot.img as one normally would, but it wouldn't boot. I later discovered that I needed a modded-boot.img (for new hboot 1.36), but not before I tried running the 3.14.707.24 RUU.
This RUU got stuck at sending.... and did not finish. I didn't leave it more than 20 minutes and tried twice. I also tried my ICS RUU to no avail.
Right now I have no Rom installed (from what I can tell), but I have full fastboot access and would like to know how I should proceed:
1) should I install the CM10 rom again with proper modded-boot.img (for hboot 1.36) and see if it boots? That would at least get me functional.
2) should I try another copy of the RUU for 3.14.707.24 JB? (i found one)
3) should I try a rom like Android Revolution HD which is OK to work with my new HBoot 1.36?
I don't want to do too much too fast since I know what I've done, and used to be really into this. The phone has been sitting a while since I upgraded my device and I'd like to get it working for travelling purposes. I'd be happy with a Stock Rom at this point...
Thanks for any willingness to help me

Ofcourse if you want CM flash the boot.img that is made for CM..And then flash .zip file..And ofcourse after flashing use
"fastboot erase cache"
Sometimes if you dont clear cache your phone won't boot..
Sent from my Endeavor
As you already said the old boot.img wont work with the new hboot. Just install cm10.1 as usually. Or any other JB Rom that is out there for the One X.

Thanks for your answer!! Now I'm curious if I want to use some other ROM, but without any system, how do I get the .zip file for the rom onto my SD card for flashing.
Should I use CWM recovery and enable usb storage, or is there another way?
Thanks again,

Correct, use the recovery
Yes just mount usb storage in CWM.

I'll try this later when I have the time. Thanks to everyone who responded. I was nervous I was on the bad road. Seems I'm in healthy shape, just lacking a rom.
Two more questions:
1) Can I still revert to stock? If so, how since RUU seems to get stuck at sending and not actually restore?
2) Any idea why when I tried to restore my stock nandroid backup just after installing CWM (which backed up successfully) it would restore but not boot (hung on One splash screen)? Should I have to wait a seriously long time for it to boot (I never used to have to?)
Thanks in advance!

I think I was more freaked out by the RUU not working than just thinking that my phone is fine. Turned out CWM Recovery was still onboard so I just flashed a new rom using USB mounted storage. :good::good::good::cyclops:

Hey, Thanks for responding!
1. I figured. Thanks for validating. :good:
2. I did not use the boot.img from the nandroid backup. I've never sent a separate boot.img when restoring from Nandroid. Is that something I need to do going forward/have been lucky not having to do until now? Perhaps the ICS builds of roms had a more similar boot.img?

Flash a new ROM clean. Hey at least you got past soff finally. Good chance your nandroid is corrupt. Just download a new ROM and flash it. Perhaps a bad download on the other one or perhaps you have an outage near you.

-Change your custom recovery to the stock recovery
-Factory reset from H-Boot, I usually do this twice
-This at least for me clears up data issues, and for some reason only factory reset from H-Boot seems to work. Custom recoveries do not clear the affected radio caches

The radio RUU is just that only the Radio's, if you have received this handset with most of the work done (S-Off) I would assume it had not been factory reset from Hboot after doing this. I had read that the S-Off process could affect data and it was good practice to factory reset from Hboot after completing S-Off. All that being said I have always been on a Sense ROM when doing this, as a warning back up anything you cherish...... for this wipes **INTERNAL STORAGE!!**
Go to Zarboz's decrypted RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436
-Download either .08 or the .10 DECRYPTED RUU
-Unzip it and find the recovery signed.img file
-Replace your custom recovery (CWM, TWRP) with the above recovery.
-Go to Settings>Power> Deselect the fast-boot option.
-Reboot into HBoot
-Select Factory Reset from the options
-Let it do its thing, when the One boots up do not worry about setting up accounts or anything because you are going to boot back into HBoot and do another factory reset, again uncheck fast-boot. I know this seems like overkill but considering you have already gone through all of this why not just wipe it again for good measure.
-Once all of this is done push your custom recovery
-Flash away and enjoy.
-Now this method will not help if you have fried your SIM card by doing a tower update (*228).
