[Q] free beer if you fix my one x!

Hi, if you can help me unbrick my phone I'll buy you a beer (or three!)
I have an htc one x which i managed to unlock the bootloader via htcdev as in various tutorials....
I was too lazy to take a backup
I then tried to install cyanogenmod 10 using cwm recovery.... (by flashing a zip file i had downloaded - one of the nightly builds)
I wiped the cache etc in cwm
it got stuck in a boot loop i think as it got to the spinning cyanogen logo then nothing happened...
I've tried to get it working again using lots of different methods - i downloaded some RUU exes which failed because they said they weren't the correct ROM (even though they should be right) - then i read a tutorial about how to use fastboot to flash system.img onto the phone but it fails giving error code 00000006
I can't push any zip files to the phone using ADB as I get permission denied errors
I've also tried to use fastboot to flash various recoveries but I can't apply any zips because I can't get them onto the phone in the first place
I've also flashed various recovery.img files but when they load, I get a red triangle after a few seconds
If someone could tell me how to use ADB to push a zip file to the phone I'd be really grateful - have tried everything but keep getting permission denied errors
Thanks
(oh and if you manage to help me fix it I WILL buy you a beer... or 3)

oh and ....
ALSO I've googled the problem and tried all of the options I can find which could help - please don't just send me a link to a page because i can guarantee I've probably already tried the solution and failed. When I boot into recovery, I can't use adb push to send files to the phone because it says it's not connected even if i try the option for mount data, or mount storage - the only time windows seems to manage to aknowledge it's existence is on the fastboot screen -

Have you flashed the cm boot IMG and then erased fastboot cache?
fastboot flash boot pathtoboot.IMG
fastboot erase cache
For the RUU to work you need to have stock recovery and a relocked boot loader.
if you download the latest clockworkmod mounting as USB storage is fixed.

wow that was a quick reply - yes I've flashed the cm boot img and erased the cache - which version of CWM is the latest? - When you say mounting as USB storage is fixed, do you mean that windows will be able to see the device and write files to it?
(I'm really sorry for asking these questions - the problem is that I know a BIT about how android works but not as much as I should do)

Are you absolutely sure you flashed the boot.img from the rom.zip using fastboot on your computer? Because it really sounds like you didn't

This is a thread I made and it should provide you with a solution if not a starting point if you insist on CM10.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900127
Good luck!

sorry hope i'm not wasting your time!
I ran the command as follows :-
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
(I got the img file from the ruu )
I'm not 100% sure if it worked, but at that stage I didn't see any errors

CWM 5.8.4.0 has the USB mounting fixed. You can go to mounts and storage and mount as USB, then the PC will see it.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
I'm pretty sure you either didn't flash the boot.img or flashed the wrong one, so get it again to make sure it's the right one and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And
fastboot erase cache

thanks!
I'll give it a go - to be honest i don't insist on using cm10 at all - i just wanted to see what jellbean was like and it seemed like a reasonable way of achieving that.... i'd be quite happy with any decent rom if it can fix the lag problems i have and some of the other issues.....
great tutorial by the way! - once my phone has charged up again I'll try it

I use CM10 myself at the moment because of the aesthetics, but because of the amount of ram and battery it uses I wish I had stuck with ARHD.
Come October we should see Jellybean ARHD which will have great features like USB OTG without a powered hub.

Mount as USB not working on that version, also charging not working either. It was not a great release in terms.of features, but it was updated quickly, that's quite an.old version now.
Do you know which tutorial you followed? It really needs updating, there are a lot of people on this old version struggling more than they need to.

Right, first you're going to flash a recovery which allows you to mount USB storage. Either cwm or TWRP, download the recovery.img and flash through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery rocoveryname.img.
Download a new rom and extract the boot.img from it. Flash that boot.img using the usual fastboot method.
Now boot into the new recovery, connect to your pc and mount USB storage from the option in recovery. Copy over the rom you downloaded. Unmount USB storage. Now do a full wipe through the menu in recovery - format /data, /system and /cache. Now flash the rom and reboot

[Q] help flashing MIUI, my first rom flash

hi
i already unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery TWRP, and done a backup
i also copy my backup to PC
now i'm confuse
- i need to root the phone or can i just flash the new room?
- if i need to root the phone i found an italian guide on 4.0 and attach file, can i use that? i have 4.1.1 on mine now
i'm not interested to have HTC stock with root but what i want is to install MIUI ROM
this is the only guide i found in english that explains how to install the rom
external link (i can't post it) miuiandroid.com/community/threads/installing-the-htc-one-x-required-s-on-steps.16592/
what i understand is:
- boot my device power + menu down, to see the FASTBOOT USB i have to select FASTBOOT
- flash the boot.img
- press the power button once (HBOOT i guess), click volume down, highlight recovery & press power
- Flash the downloaded ROM via recovery normally and it followup at this link
external link (i can't post it) miuiandroid.com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/
i need to copy the img rom in SD ROOT before starting with all this process
- now i need to Wipe data/factory reset, Cache Wipe & Dalvik Cache Wipe in all tutorial i found this is done with clockworkmod
in TWRP under menu WIPE i guess are System, Cache, Dalvik buttons
after that i'm note sure if i need to flash italian language, if i don't need and i can just download it later i tihink is not a big deal
unless is all in chinese
is the metod correct?
do i have to copy ROM file in .zip format as i download?
here where i found ROM
from official site grey button miui.com/download-7.html
OR
from UK web site miuiandroid.com/community/threads/3-4-28.20232/
the boot.img is here
point 3 miuiandroid.com/community/threads/installing-the-htc-one-x-required-s-on-steps.16592/
i'm not sure if would be better to use clockworkmod, since most tutorials use that..
thanks

Doesn't matter which recovery you use. Yes just place the zip file on your sd card. Flash boot.img as you already said. Perform a full wipe and then flash the Rom zip. Reboot and its done.
The Roms are pre-rooted so you dont need to worry about that. Italian language should be included i guess.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Heres what i do :
1) Put Rom.zip on SD card
2) Put boot.img in fastboot folder
3) fastboot erase cache
4) fastboot flash boot boot.img
5) fastboot erase cache
6) Reboot into recovery
7) Full wipe (except sd card)
8) Install rom
9) Enjoy new rom

i did my first mess but fortunally i could restore since i had copy the backup on my mac too
i don't know what went wrong but this is what happened:
- i did how was told before, but actually i download boot.img and rom from 2 different sites
- after reboot it didn't move from first screena waited for 15 minutes almost, so i did reboot in recovery tri to wipe but nothing happened
- so i decide to restore... but it did boot even if it was successful
- i thought that if i flashed the boot.img first time i may need to do it again, i found boot.emmc.win, rename it to boot.img, flash it and then i restored successfully
:victory:
now, to try a different rom i need to restore (maybe is safer)? can i copy the rom from recovery or fastboot?
what can it be wrong with my miui rom? could it be boot.img and rom file mismatch? can't find where to download both

i would try a different rom for now, viperx perhaps. and the boot image is in the rom zip, extract the boot img from the rom and put it in your fastboot folder then copy the rom to your sdcard. once you have done that, fastboot erase cache, flash the boot image, fastboot erase cache again, then back into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik just to be sure then use recovery to flash the rom and hey presto. all of the above is assuming you have the one x international tegra 3

I have htc one x european terga 3, as far as I know mini is only for tegra 3
what you describe is exactly what I did:
- I leave the rom zip ad it is, I didn't remove boot.imf that I extract, correct?
- when I flash I hit hoot fastboot, connect USB and fastboot change in fastboot USB, to go back I select Hboot and and hit power, prom there recovery
- I did unlock bootloader but did not get rooted my phone, could it be that?

read this post. at least twice!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 do not do the "unlock bootloader" section as you already did that

@nogotaclue sorry i read so many, and some of them sayed that root was not necessary if you flash a new rom, other sayed it could still be necessary... now i rooted with the app and did a new backup that i'm coping on PC
reading further it says: to wipe, install rom, and flash boot.img after
"Now go back and press install. Go to the folder where the ROM you downloaded, is located in. Select the ROM and slide the screen to flash it. After it flashes, press the back button. Press Reboot and Reboot into bootloader. Open the ROM you downloaded from your computer. You should see boot.img. Extract it to your computer. Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it."

yes you can do it that way, i usually flash first but sometimes it does not work, so just flash it last as it says in the tutorial

after root, with the same steps, the ROM starts... but
touch screen is not working :crying:

[Q] how to copy files to HTC ONE X thats stuck in boot loop

Hi Dudes and Dudettes.
PLease go easy on me - I am a noob.
Ive been handed a HTC ONE X (International version) that is stuck in aboot loop.
On power on, it simply goed to cyanogen load screen, and stays there forever (till the battery runs out or the phone is powered down)
I dont know what has been done to this phone, but I do know the following:
1. It seems to be rooted (Says UNLOCKED in Fastboot/bootloader screen)
2. Has CWM installed, can access it via Recovery.
3. Can not be restored via Backup/Recovery in CWM.
4. Does not have any roms on the device (tried zip file recovery - doesnt work)
5. Wiping of caches doesnt help.
6. Factory reset doesnt work either.
So I am thinking that I should prolly get a rom on the device and install it.
My question is HOW do I get a ROM on this phone if it is stuck in a loop?
Seem like windows picks it up (its visible in device manager) but doesnt show up as a drive in my computer.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

1.Make sure you are using the right kernel version for the Rom,and for your device (CM based kernels for CM based Rom's,and Sense for Sense,etc..)
2.Make sure you are flashing boot.img using the correct commands and a procedure
3.And make sure that recovery is compatible with the rom (example Viper rom and Phil'z advance recovery,etc..)
The right commands for flashing the kernel are
1.Go into fastboot mode on your phone
2.Connect the phone and PC
3.command is: fastboot flash boot.img (you can drag and drop your boot.img of choice right in the command window instead of typing the whole name of it)
4.after flashing it's done do the: fastboot erase cache without leaving the terminal
5.Now just unplug the phone from usb cable and reboot into recovery
6.Now find the zip of that kernel you've just flashed on your sd card (I assume you've placed it there) and install it by flashing that zip(that's where the modules are)
7.reboot and that should be it.

Device bricked? No adb-access

Hello!
My Oppo Find 7 (international) seems to be bricked.
I'm on stock ROM COS 1.2.5 with stock recovery 1.0
After booting it stuck in the Setup-Wizzard with "settings has stopped"-Loop.
Unfortunately in stock-ROMs the USB-debugging is disabled, so i can't acces via adb fastboot to flash other recoverys.
And cause of the loop i can not enable USB-debugging...
The recovery (stock 1.0) let me only flash 1.2.5, no other ROMs work.
Things that work:
- entering fastboot (but no access via adb as i wrote)
- entering recovery and execute "zip from sd" (while sd means only internal sd here)
- normal boot to the f****** Setup-Assistant, enter PIN. At slect Language the "setting has stopped"-loop starts
- while the device is in loop, i can access the internal and external SD-card via PC, copy and delete files works
Please, has anybody an idea what to do ?
Thanks to all
Marco

Since you can get into fastboot, download a custom recovery, go to fastboot, type
fastboot flash recovery x
Replacing x with the full name and extension of the file, and install a ROM. Alternatively, if you want ColorOS, try downloading 1.2.4i, and installing it through the stock recovery. Then you can update from there

Hmmmm....
Positive! At this moment i learned that USB-debugging is needed for adb-access on a booted device, not for fastboot-access
Yes, i could flash TWRP via fastboot (puuhh, not bricked)
THANKS !!
Now i can mess around the "settings has closed"-Loop, wich is still in place.
(No wiping fixes the problem, even 1.2.1 nor 1.2.3 or whatever)
But i'm on the road again and can check out fixes.
Thanks again!!

That's weird. Did you ever install custom ROMs before having this issue?
Did you try formatting System in TWRP? But be careful, when you format System you have to install stock Color OS BEFORE rebooting your device. That means stay in TWRP after you format and install the ROM, then reboot.
