My HOX just briked

Hi guys. I just used the power bottom -> restart -> recovery command on my HoX running last Viper ROM. After the reboot, my phone just bricked. I can get the device to bootloader, but I cant either open backup or reboot and run the the ROM itself. Any suggestions? Kinda shocked atm... All i can do is to hold power for +5 for a restart and get to bootloader, nothing else works. Also, tried hasoon2000's exe file to reistall TWRP, didnt work.

Edit, sry my bad, I used a wrong command first time,
Its still bricked :s
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.078s]
finished. total time: 0.078s

Download these drivers
http://db.tt/gXVxa3Dp and install them
Download these files
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU and place them in a folder on the pc looking like this
C:\fastboot\*the files from the download*
Connect the phone to the pc and put the phone in the bootloader and select fastboot (you should see in red FASTBOOT USB)
Then you right click inside that fastboot folder and open a command prompt, and on that prompt you type just like Matt said
Fastboot erase cache
Now try to enter the recovery :thumbup:

OH GOD IT WORKED!
but still, I get unexpected crashes even in the recovery, my phone just crashed in the middle of recovery while i was trying to wipe the ROM. And its bricked again
Edit: It crashes right after I want to wipe Dalvik Cache
ATM Im trying to restore my first nandriod back up which was taken right after i unlocked the bootloader

Also fastboot erase cache afterwards ......

Use TWRP if you want using Viper.
I say that because with twrp you don't have problem with ota.

Thanks everyone for helping me I really really appreciate it.:good:
It worked ^-^
I just restored my original back up, even when i wasnt able to wipe Dalvik Cache. And now I can wipe Dalvik Cache again. That was a really bad moment, but I just managed it with the help of you^^ guess I wont be changing my ROM for a while now lol...:laugh:

Nice !!!

R: My HOX just briked
I advise you to keep TWRP because it is best of CWM
Happy flashing

[Q] stuck on splash loop

Ok I've looked everywhere but can't find anything solid to help me.
I installed this
rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727657
factory reset, put it on sd card, used TWRP to install from zip and install gapps, wiped cache, when I reboot it just loops the HTC splash
What have I missed out? I just can't work it out.
I can still use bootloader and twrp
I've also seen people say go into fastboot and type this and that, how do you type in fastboot?
Thanks in advance for any help

flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the "fastboot erase cache" and you should be fine
go into bootloader and connect your phone to your pc and your click fastboot in your phone and it should say FASTBOOT USB the just type the above in CMD
and one more thing your hboot must be 1.31 or higher

Have you repacked an AOSP kernel with the boot.img ??

HTC ONE X - Installing Custom Recovery Issue

While rooting my One X I may have gotten a bit stuck, the phone hangs at the HTC loading screen.
And I cannot load a custom recovery onto the phone.
I have unlocked the boot loader, but got to the step of flashing the custom recovery and I get this error:
sending 'recovery' <6038 KB>...
FAILED (command write faileed (Unknown error))
finsihed. total time: 0.642s
I got boot into fastboot, and can see my phone, appear with the command "fastboot devices" but am unable to do anything else.
Any help to get my phone back would be appresiated

fastboot flash recovery CWM.img (to be precise)
I wish it was that simple.
Just tried it again first ime same eorr, then tried it again and it just held on sending ' recovery' and the phone went unresponsive

it is that simple. put recovery.img inside fastboot folder. go into bootloader then flash recovery via cmd with the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. that's it. did you try downloading another recovery? might be a bad download. i guess.

Tried another USB port or cable?

That worked perfect.
Manged to install clockwork recovery, but still once loading CM10.1 onto my phone, can't get past the htc screen.
Went Factory Reset -> Reset Cache -> Loaded ROM from SD

Did you flash the boot.img file from the rom.zip via fastboot? And then did you erase fastboot cache? Did you wipe everything before installing the rom via recovery?

Don't use the venom flasher, flash the boot.img manually

How I can flash it manually?

Copy the boot.img to the same dir as the fastboot.exe file is. Point in the folder with the mouse and hold shift + click the right mouse button. Then select open command window here
Put the phone in the bootloader and type this in the command window :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (enter)
Fastboot erase cache (enter)

I didn't see him mention anything about recovery. He booted the boot.img there by he would only "simulate" a boot so to speak, not?
Kinda like:
Building and booting Nexus 5 kernel
Excerpt from posted link:
Code:
$ adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
$ adb reboot bootloader
$ sudo fastboot boot boot.img
During this commands your phone will reboot to bootloader mode, next using fastboot command you'll copy the new boot image to RAM of the phone and then boot it. YOUR FLASH IS NOT TOUCHED IT'S 100% SAFE! Now just check in settings, what is version of your kernel. When you've done with hacking, and want to have the original just reboot your phone.

He could have just restarted the phone and flashed it properly. Maybe doing that is like booting a "virtual" copy of the Kernel on the device for testing purposes?
Either way though, it's just for the sake of interest/education, if anything else. :good:

thx for the help i succed
