Simple issue, cannot flash recovery.img file HTC One X - HTC One X

As title says, in last steps after unlocking device but won't let me flash "recovery.img" file
error: cannot load 'recovery.img': Unknown error is what it keeps showing me. Tried erasing cache already as well to no avail

Is the name of the recovery file recovery.img? Have you put the recovery.img file in your fastboot folder?

Make sure you enable extensions on filenames in windows before renaming a recovery to recovery.img because it will be named recovery.img.img !

Got that issue fixed but now when I try to boot the phone into recovery it just black screens me then normal boots back to the main screen. It's the latest version of cwm, but I couldn't get twrp to boot up either. So strange because I didn't really run into much trouble rooting my HTC One so I'm feeling really silly that I can't figure out what the issue here is. :'(

sorry for the late reply just got home from work not too long ago, tried that and it starts like its going to boot into recovery and stays on the HTC screen for about 20 seconds then, goes to black and reboots back normally again. Think I need to just reinstall clockwork recovery again?

[Q] One x keeps rebooting after installing kernel

Please help!
I`ve installed a stock kernel because the previous kernel wasn't working well, but now my phone keeps rebooting.
It starts up and after the "htc one x" logo is showed it reboots.
This is the kernel I've installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692404&page=2
And I'm using a stock ROM (1.29)
I'm sorry for asking, but I'm not that experienced with loading kernels so I'm a little stressed out that I've bricked my phone or something..
Can someone please ~give advise?
did u flash the modules?
sent from my CHARRED ONE X~ and click THANKS if I helped.

There are essentially three steps to flashing a new kernel:
Flash the new kernel using fastboot flash boot filename.img
Erase cache using fastboot erase cache
Reboot into recovery and push the new kernel's modules by installing the .ZIP file from your device's SD card.
Tnx for your reply man!
Only now I have a different problem..
My phone doesn't start at al!!
I had to work today so I left my phone on the charger all day, to try your method tonight.
When I tried to start it up the only thing I get is the red led blinking a few times and thats it..
When I left my phone on the charger last night it looked like it was charging (red led burning continuously).
Anyone any ideas what's the problem now? (and how to fix of course )
-update 5 min later: now I don't even get the red led blinking anymore )
-update another 5 min later: strangely enough the led blinks again
In the meantime I'm back in the bootloader! :good:
What now?
Can you really simply explain how to flash the boot.img?
I dont understand how it works exactly..
Sorry for being so ignorant, but if I was foreseeing this sh*t I would never have touched my kernel
thanks in advance!
1. download boot.img and modules zip from the link
2. copy boot.img to fastboot folder.
3. open cmd, cd to where your fastboot folder is and then type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
4. boot phone into recovery, mount USB storage and copy modules zip to your phone
5. unmounts USB storage and install modules zip from recovery menu
6. reboot phone and it should boot

So I've booted my phone in the bootloader en then selected fastboot. Then I leave it there and open the CMD on my pc
The boot.img is in the my downloads folder.
So in CMD I should type: C:\Users\Jan\Downloads>fastboot flash boot boot.img
And than it says that the command is not recognized...
to be more specific, it says: fastboot is not recognized as internal or external command, program or batchfile

you copy the boot.img to the same folder that the fastboot files are in
Edit: you should really READ the INSTRUCTIONS before you act. if you unlocked your bootloader to do some modding, which you would have HAD TO DOWNLOAD THE FASTBOOT FILES AND PERFORM THE FASTBOOT COMMANDS FROM WITHIN THE FASTBOOT DIRECTORY

Yeah I know.. I'm stupid as hell and I have learned a lot. I thought I knew enough, but apparently not..
But now I want my phone to work again, so excuse me for asking, but where are my fastboot files?
I've unlocked my bootloader using the method on this site:
http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
But when I copy boot.img in the folder that guy uses (foldername: oneXRoot) the cmd 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' still fails.
I feel really bad, but I really hope you guys can have mercy and patience with me...
the fastboot.exe is in the OneXRoot folder
open cmd, cd to that folder and then run the fastboot command:
cd c:\users\jan\downloads\onexroot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
As shown in the attached image. Sorry if we sound rude, but as I have found out in the last day or so..... there are just some people that don't read instructions, and/or don't understand what they are doing (when all info that they need is in the Rom-dev section)
In other terms. You have to have your boot.img in the same folder as where your adb and fastboot files are
To check if your on the right track, ctrl+rightclick on a blabk space in a folder and select "open command window here" then type fastboot?

Thanks for al your help you guys, but now I know what's really wrong with my phone.
I've a wrong version of clockworkmod installed. In this version the usb storage function doesn't work, so I can't place a new ROM on my phone.
I wanted to install a working version of clockwork, but now my battery is drained! (at least below 30%) :crying:
I tried to load the battery, but that doesn't work anymore.
Anyone some ideas?
Download the 5.8.4.0 recovery. I think that's the fixed one.
Go to bootloader and fastboot usb thrn flash the recovery there.

Also tried that already, but also in clockwork it doesn't charge..
Hate it that the one x has got a build in battery
I really don't have a clue what to do now. The only thing I need is a charged battery, but it looks like theres no way to charge it
I'm not gonna buy a new phone because my battery is empty
dont worry when your phone is completely out of juice you will be able to charge it... happened to me while i was stuck in bootloader myself...
yeah I know, there has to be a way, but the only question is how?
I'm thinking of opening up my phone and charge it with a power supply.
Back in the days with my old HD2 it would be easy...

[Q] Another bricked phone thread!

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help. So I am stuck on the bootloop screen on CM10. I have searched and researched but so far to no avail.
Here's what I have so far:
My One X is the international version and I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
Instead of doing the usual route of downloading a rom on my PC, I tried it through the phone via an app on play called CM downlander.
I then attempted to install from SD as usual.
I am unable to mount the phone/sd via clockwork as the pc seems to not see the phone.
I have looked all over the web and the only thing I can find is something called android debugging bridge? This looks like it could be helpful.
Although I am a complete android geek, I am relatively new to custom android, I have run CM successfully on a GSII but that is it so if anyone can help, please could you do it newbie friendly? Thanks!
u have not flashed the kernel it seems.to mount sdcard,try rebooting recovery and then mount sdcard. just now this happened 2 me.
Sent from my One V
Which recovery do you have ? Is it cwm 5.8.4.0 ? If not ..... upgrade the recovery, it has the option to mount sd card as USB diskdrive.....and second, i doubt that you flashed the boot.img with fastboot commands ? It's needed because we can not flash complete roms with recovery because we are s-on ! You have to flash the kernel separately
First of all, download the cm10 zip from official source: get.cm/?device=endeavoru
Do you get an error if you try to mount in cwm?
Sent from my HTC One X
Sorry, being sent out by the missus! Will be back on tonight.
Hi guys, thanks for your replies earlier. In response:
I have downloaded a copy of cm10 on my pc. Unfortunately TToivanen I am unable to mount in cwm. I'm using 5.8.2.7.
I am almost certain you guys are correct, I vaguely remember flashing the kernel for my old GSII but didn't touch the kernel this time.
Now....how the hell do I do get out of this one!?
By the way, forgot to add. when I boot up I just get stuck in cm bootloop.
Easy fix: download latest cwm here:
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Then flash it in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
Then mounting usb should work.
And don't forget to extract the boot.img and flash it as well.
Sent from my HTC One X
Ok, I'm going to sound totally newbie now, I'm not sure how to do these things that you have suggested. Do I download to my pc then use a command line or something to get it to my phone?
Ok, just researching fastboot for windows now...
Alright, dl these fastboot files:
http://www.mediafire.com/?q2540u4g3v6qqd7
Extract and put the recovery img I linked in the fastboot folder.
Then hold shift and right click anywhere in that folder and select open command prompt here.
Hold power and volumedown to get to fastboot modeand connect usb cable to pc, on phone screen you should see fastboot usb.
Then execute the command I posted while ago.
Finally, on your phone menu, select hboot -> recovery.
Usb mounting should work now.
Flash rom and proceed to next step.
Installing kernel:
Extract boot.img from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder.
Open fastboot command prompt as described earlier and type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
followed by
Code:
fastboot erase cache

Thanks. Just to top this off. I think my battery has died because it'll no longer switch on. I'm sure it was fully charged before I started. I know I saw a thread about that so will check it now.
Yeah, the one with the batch file.
Let it run at least overnight.
I'm off to bed and will check back tomorrow. :thumbup:

Thanks TToivanen. LED is just slowly flashing red so will check it in the morning. Fingers crossed I can sort this tomorrow.

wow.....after this all, we have another expert on the team
Hi all, I'm off to a wedding today (on a Monday, I know) so won't be able to do anything to the phone today. I will be back on tomorrow though with a raging hangover. I will say though that I followed your instructions and got stuck at initiating the command. I'm not at the pc but it said something wasn't found. I'll post the full error message tomorrow.
Evening fellow geeks! Can I just say thanks for your replies so far. It's not like you are paid to do this so I just want to say that I appreciate your help.
I'm hoping that by the time I go to bed tonight I will have a working phone, that's my hope anyway.
I'm going to re-follow TToivanen's advice now and post the error message I am getting. Will post in a few minutes.
Ok, so I downloaded fast boot and the clockwork recovery file. Extracted fastboot and copied clockwork into it. Opened a command screen from fastboot, then entered the fastboot screen on my phone and attached usb.
This is where I think I am getting stuck/going wrong, I pasted fastboot flash recovery filename.img into the and screen and get the following:
C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery filename.img
error: cannot load 'filename.img'

Download this. And paste to fastboot folder.
The file name in this case is: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Or you can change the name to whatever easier to type.

But, since I have no USB fileshare I am unable to get it on the phone and start the process.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
I need to completely wipe and reinstall everything but has no access other that fastboot USB.

So, I have downloaded Philz, I think I have flashed the recovery.img file over to the phone from CMD shell window.
I have rebooted my phone to fastboot menu and selectet recovery.
The result is still the same. Just the htc boot screen.
I`m sure I`m doing something wrong but cant figure out how. Philz How to uses USB / PC file transfer so I`m unable to use it as a step by step.
Would really appreciate a step by step command overview. If possible with an explanation so that I learn why I do the different commands. Then I wont be so f.. ignorant about these things anymore. Hopefully

Use Clock Work Mod. TWRP has been having issues with so many devices.
Did you do " fastboot erase cache " before flashing the recovery. I have used twrp since day one with out any issues. I hate cwm because of the super slow backups. Twrp finishes in 1/4 the time. Also twrp looks much better.

fastboot erase cache is a command you enter in fastboot mode. Just like when you flash the recovery with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img
You dont need the whole sdk. I assume the drivers are still installed? All you need is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/ipa8tsjdmcacxul/miniadb.zip. Just extract the files to a folder named adb. Then put your recovery .img file in the adb folder too. Then open your cmd prompt to that folder and do the commands.

Did you use the VZW version of TWRP from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
No issues like mentioned before. I've heard philz works well but haven't tried it. You can even use an app called flashify to flash either. Fastboot is better and less risky, but I've used flashify and it works.

are their suppous to be spaces between fastboot flash recovery
That is the wrong recovery for this phone. Use this one http://flyhalf205.com/getdownload.php?file=recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img from the post above by brholt6. Also make sure you do the fastboot erase cache command before flashing the recovery. And yes there should be spaces.

[Q] Having trouble flashing new recovery

Really hope that I am in the right section.
I have been running the blisspop rom for a little while now. Wanted to give a new rom a shot. Went into recovery and wiped as usual and went to flash and got a "this package supports bootloader....." Realized that the new rom recommenced TWRP or Clockwork. So I went into fastboot and tried flashing both Clockwork and TWRP and after flashing and rebooting it hangs on the boot screen with "entering recovery" at the top.
Suggestions? Help?

Realized that the new rom recommenced TWRP or Clockwork. So I went into fastboot and tried flashing both Clockwork and TWRP and after flashing and rebooting it hangs on the boot screen with "entering recovery" at the top.
Suggestions? Help?

Are you flashing the right recovery that's made specifically for your device?

Here download this one: Click Here
Boot your phone into bootloader,
Choose Fastboot and hook it up to the computer
Wait until it says Fastboot-USB
Open CMD in the window where you downloaded the file and copy this without the quotation marks: "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m8.img"
Wait until it finishes, then just try going back into recovery

Yep same thing...just hangs on the white HTC boot screen with Entering Recovery at the top. The weird thing is even though it hangs there I still get a message on my computer that says the phone is connected through USB

hmm.. Odd. Have you ever tried RUU back to stock and retrying all over again?

Try this:
fastboot erase cache
Then flash again twrp recovery
Fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery_name.img
Send with my M8 from Tuttoandroid
That didn't work either. Has anyone else tried to go from the philz recovery back to the other ones and had any issues?
Still trying to figure this out...maybe someone else has a suggestion. I can't RUU since I don't have S-Off, but there should't be an issue flashing a new recovery, I've never had this issue before.

Okay. Let's start over from the beginning.
Go here and download this. on your PC.
rename it to "recovery.img" (no quotes) and put it into your fastboot folder on your PC. (either fastboot or platform-tools depending on the ADB version you have)
Hook up to ADB/fastboot and enter the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
The img you are trying to flash has to be in your fastboot folder.
Also, make sure you have the proper drivers installed. You can confirm this by going to Device Manager on you PC (enter device manager into the search box in your start menu. If you see a yellow exclamation point over "My HTC" or "Android" you don't have the proper drivers).
If you get the yellow "!", and don't have the drivers, then you can get them by clicking this link.
Also, make sure that HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled from your computer. It does not play nice with ADB.

I appreciate the detailed instructions, and I went through and did it exactly like you suggested and I ended up with the same issue. I am able to flash the recovery, the issue is afterwards when I reboot the bootloader then try to go into the recovery it freezes on the htc logo screen with "entering recovery" at the top of the screen. I have been able to flash roms and everything with no issue, just for some reason I can't switch recoveries.
