lost backup stock rom - HTC One X

I've been trying to install a custom rom on my hox and have had very little luck. I read that to install the CM10.1 rom I had to flash a new boot.img which I did successfully. when I tried to install the rom I got a different error than usual so I decided to just give up. I went ahead and did a factory reset from CWM and cleared the caches and then tried to restore my backup rom image. but when I did, it gave me an error "unable to mount sd". I was able to fix the SD problem but the method I used made me return to stock recovery and then install TWRP. This means I lost my backup of the stock rom.
I think I need to flash a stock boot.img over the one I tried to use for CM10.1 but I'm not sure.
hopefully someone can help. thanks.

Can you tell us the exact steps you used to flash the boot image and ROM? What error did the ROM flashing give?

to flash the boot image, I extracted the rom zip file and removed the boot image. I went into the cmd and typed "flashboot flash boot boot.img".
to flash the rom, I moved the roms zip file onto the storage of the device (drag and drop) and then went into CWM and cleared the caches, did a factory reset, and then selected the zip file to be installed.
here is a picture of the error I got when I tried to install the rom: see attachment
the error is on the second line of code in the updater-script file. other attempts to install the rom gave me an error on the first line until I read that the first line had to be deleted for it to work on the hox.

May be an issue with CWM. Have a read here...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250785

CWM might be the reason the rom installation was aborted but I just want to return to stock. the stock rom is installed, I think the only problem is that the boot image is wrong. I searched around and can't find a stock boot image. I saw some tutorials on using RUU to do a restore but it seems a lot more complicated than just flashing the stock boot image. if you think RUU is the best method, please help me pick the correct RUU.

May be it's a bad download? Download the CM rom zip again and then try to flash it! Use the latest Philz touch recovery...
1. Flash boot.img and then fastboot erase cache
2. Go to recovery and wipe everything
3. flash the rom.zip/gapps.zip and reboot!
If you still want a RUU, then post the result of fastboot getvar version-main

I think I'm just going to RUU. I google searched the hboot and radio numbers from my phone and found a thread where someone had the exact same numbers so I think it makes sense to use the same RUU. here is the info for my phone:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.14.0002
RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
I tried using the 'fastboot getvar version-main' command it doesn't give me a number, it only says "version-main: " which is weird.
anyway the ruu I'm considering is called: "RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_Cingular_US_2.20.502.7_Radio_0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L_release_271865_signed"
will that work? I think I will forever brick my phone if I use the wrong one.

try fastboot getvar all

Hi
Try connecting your HTC One X to your computer with an USB-cable and then access it, and go and look for a map called CWM, or ClockwordMod. Open it, and then open Backup.
Are you able to find it there? If not, please let me know.

He has no business here, flashing stuff from here may end in a proper bricked phone.

Oh, well I'm sorry. But it's his fault that he almost bricked his device bij placing this in the wrong Subtab ;p Don't blame on me!

well as i understand you need to revert to device's stock condition
as far as i know only way to do it is by RUU or individually flashing every image. RUU is easily done but as you mentioned you get error messages try finding out what those error messages mean
common messages are
cant connect to device----ensure you are in fastboot usb mode
version problems----check weather you are using the right RUU (RUU is different for diferent regions) one RUU can have more than one versions so be sure which one you need
and you also need to lock you bootloader before running RUU
let me know if anything works
take a complete backup and make a goldcard just in case..you never know what may happen

Actually, this 's-on' and 's-off' is very much important. You can flash any stock rom with s-off but not that easily with s-on. I'm a noob so I can't really explain further. Search for it!

recovery.img,boot.img and system.img then,
remove battery (power +volume down) to going in hboot then click on fastboot then plug your phone usb with computer open cmd and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
you can see fastboot file in your extracted zip.by this way you manually port stock rom.i tried it and it successfully possible.but i use my original stock rom,ages when i used europe rom it failed.
and please be careful in type commands it ll brick your phone if you doing anything wrong..maybe it ll help you

and s-on or s-off.there are many difference between twos.i dont know much i m also noob here.but with s-off you can change your hboot,radio and many customization but with s-on its difficult i think.so i recommand you to flash your orginial stock rom if you are s-on.i have s-on phone so my phone wont remove cwm with any other stock roms and its got failed.so mind this thing.and know more about s-on and s-off read this.

you need to have the recovery.img file and the SDK set correctly on your system, do the following:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img

Not true. I've been using TWRP for around a year now on various devices and haven't one had a single problem flashing anything. It's better than cwm in every way

it depends on points of view i've nothing against TWRP, i use it on my Transformer and it is pretty good, better layout and view of the raw CWM but on the HOX i prefer using the CWM, i would love to see a port of the best recovery out there, the 4EXT
It is the Evita version, on ATT. I decided to RUU it and start from scratch. this time however i am going to use Hasoon2000's all in one kit instead of the traditional method. ill post an update in a little bit to see if the roms will successfully flash second time around
Ok so after re unlocking the bootloader and re rooting the phone. TWRP v2.3.1.0 still fails to flash roms. which doesnt make sense because it was able to flash superuser. does anyone have an explanation for this or do i have to flash CWM?
Update: was able to successfully flash CM10. must have just been those particular ROMs.

You might want to check out the EVITA forums, then. This one is for ENDEAVORU.
Advice and software you find here is likely to be wrong.
I know this thread is old but im having EXACTLY the same problem. and i looked in the Evita section and theres nothing. i have the At&t version too but the only rom i can seem to install is cm10. ive re flashed several versions of twrp and still the same thing happens. ive recently s-offed my device and im wondering if thats the reason for my troubles. did relocking and running the RUU solve your problems? can you flash other roms now or still only cm10?

ok, i think you've tried to flash a stock rom without flashing a stock recovery !!.
do you have fasboot adb on your pc ?
you need to unlock your bootloader and re flash a custom recovery
if not search the dev section for a tool that will unlock your boot and re-flash a custom recovery for you-all the instructions are on there.
once you have re unlocked and flashed a custom recovery,go into recovery and see if there are any backups of the previous rom (nand)
see if that works ..

But you still have to fix the fastboot part right ? You need to install android SDK/java SDK and the HTC drivers. Then you have to put the phone in the bootloader and open a commandprompt from inside the folder where the adb/fastboot files are located ...they are in a subfolder in the installed javaSDK install folder

Thanks, it is beginning to make some sense to me now.
So first bit I got to do is the fastboot issue, which is tha last bit you mentioned right?
And after unlock boot loader than flash the recovery with one you provided in the link, tx
So that means I will go back to stock right?
Yes unlock, flash custom recovery, flash boot.img, full wipe in recovery, restore the nandroid, flash back the stock recovery .....
And yes this way you go back to stock and i will also give you the download link for the stock recovery. This one is the last you flash after restoring everything
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Then you are able to update to JB from within the phones software update menu :thumbup:
Ps you do not have to relock the bootloader anymore !

Please guys, iWe spent all day trying to figure it out, after wipe phone reboots constantly and when if boot screen it's not charging so I'm prob going to run out of battery in a couple of hours
You restore through the custom recovery. Power+vol , choose recovery. If you flashed the recovery ok then you can do from in there. Ie mount usb, copy over your nand backup and restore it. You may have to flash the boot.img using fastboot.

Installation aborted (while flashing Custom Rom)

I rooted my phone using EAR tool, now I want to flash Custom Rom..I downloaded Jelly time, I did full wipe and than when I chose zip from sdcard which I want to install (jellytime) installation process started and than appeared
E:Cant't open /sdcard/name_of_rom.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I'm realy sure that i did everything fine...I have CWM 5.8 ...Please help me, I'm affread that I brick my device..
PS. I did NaNdroid backup...Can I just restore my old ROM?
EDIT:
I reboot system because i wanted to try to flash custom rom again..Now just white screen and "HTC", it wont boot in CWM or bootloader..How I can boot into cwm now?? Maybe to remove battery?
EDIT:
Okay, now I'm in CWM again..but still "(bad) installation aborted"
EDIT:
Then I tryed to restore...It was written that restore was done, but now I reboot and five minutes just white screen and "HTC"...Is it normal that?
EDIT:
Still cant start.. (10 min after I reboot).. I bricked phone?
EDIT
So, this is my situation...I have acess to bootloader and CWM only..If I try to flash custom rom (JellyTime) appears:
E:Cant't open /sdcard/name_of_rom.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
And after that I try to restore nandroid backup...CWM sad that restore is complete done, but when I reboot just splash screen (I wait 20 min and at the end I pull battery..)
I would rather restore backup, but why I cant do that? ..
ANYONE TO HELP?!

My sd card is 8gb, but what matthers size of sd card with all process of flashing custom rom? I think my only option is to download new custom rom, place it on sd card and try flashing again...
And about nandroid backup..For me very strange is that cwm sad "restore completed", and there isnt any error in restoring process but when reboot splash screen...
Looks like the download might be corrupt. Try a new ROM. Also, don't forget to flash the boot.img from fastboot after you flash the ROM from recovery. Not sure what's going on with your nandroid, though; you shouldn't need to reflash the boot.img when restoring a nandroid. When did you make the nandroid?

I think it is not corrupt, because I downloaded it from here: http://jellytime.googlecode.com/files/cm-JellyTime_42_R11.zip
I will not forget to flash the boot.img but I can't flash ROM from cwm!! I make a nandroid before anything today...
What I have to do now? I think this is hard brick...
PS. Maybe to click in CWM: "Apply /scdard/update.zip" ... What that will do??
Doesn't matter where you got it from, it can still be corrupt...
You need to check the md5 check sum, your zip source should have it listed. An easier way is to simply open the zip file in a zip file viewer.

What does hboot say? What does the ROM zip have in it when you unzip it? Have you tried another ROM like I recommended? And please only bump once every 24 hours under XDA rules.

I don't know how many times I can say this: try another ROM. I don't use JellyTime so I can't confirm that the ROM or the version is not the problem. Or you could relock and run a RUU to return to stock. Or you could flash another recovery like 4ext and see if that helps.
If none of those options work, your phone is probably hosed. As far as I know, there is no ODIN; this is not a Samsung phone.

Ace Think Tank has guides.
Okay.. I want to try that procedure with locking bootloader and runnig RUU..
As I know, first I relock bootloader using Eacy Ace Hack tool, is it?
And than if that works, just download RUU, double click, follow the instructions and than I'm on the stock again?
P.S. Is this last stock for the dhd:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe ?
Can you try 4ext instead of CWM? I use 4ext and have no problems flashing with s-off and an unlocked bootloader.

Well I didnt try with 4ext, i don't now how to install it, because I already have CWM...And I haven't got s-off like you..
Is runnig RUU dangerous process? And someone to answer on my last question?

With s-on, you should flash roms via fastboot. I believe you need s-off before you can flash via cwm or 4ext.

Why would you exctract the rom? that will corrupt the file for sure. ODIN?? um....how come? Odin is just for Samsung devices.
Please do not double post. Thanks

I didn't extract the rom in sd card, I just viewed what files are included in jellytime.zip ... Maybe I have to update radio? My radio si Radio 26.14.04.28 ..

I don't think the radio would cause this issue. I would suggest that you go through the guide to get s-off and install 4ext.
I went through the guide with my DHD and haven't had any problems installing custom roms, creating backups, and restoring backups.

as you have mention above the link of root.zip,its of HTC One XL(non-tegra device)
if you have htc one xl then you are in wrong place..
He has the quad-core. The XL variant has no 1.73 hboot and 4.19.720 software number. So he is in the right place
Easiest way now is to restore the nandroid backup you probably didn't make before messing around with the superuser.zip !

The 3.14 ain't gonna help you as the touchscreen won't work ! You need a nand that matches your main.
If you can't find one then i suggest you install a clean new custom rom of your choice !
then cyangenmod?

sorry for asking many things, i never knew that tinkering with htc one x would cause me a brick device on my hand
You need to flash the boot.img via fastboot, make a full wipe in the recovery and install the CM.zip and the appropriate GAPPS......
thanks for your precious time

Well you need a stock nandroid backup that has the same main version number 4.19.720 and restore it. As long as you don't have that you can't go back to stock. But there are custom roms based on pure stock looks. You can install that too.
good roms based on htc sense

i have a friend who has same version-main: 4.19.720.1, like mine. but the problem he has s-on in his phone
if i install clockworkmod recovery v5.8.4.0 in his phone without unlocking it, and then make a nandroid back up and transfer that to mine, would
that help me?
if not what should i do, pls give some detailed guide, cause i really dont like cyangenmod, and the other stock looking roms have the installation guide that is quite complex for me.

You can't install anything like that via fastboot if phone is locked...you need to be unlocked and for the latest cm roms like cm 11 that recovery is too old... He can unlock too, flash a recovery make a nandroid backup without flashing another Rom and there is your backup
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk
Other roms installs the same way as CM. Flash the boot.img make a full wipe and install the rom.zip....done
Here is the nandroid backup for HTC 038 4.19 - https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B3ipMMzpaJW4bGpMVTRNRHFpOUk/edit
But they're seperate files and you need to download them all and place them in the right folder.

i have flashed the android revolution hd rom. this rom is the perfect one, just the same as htc stock rom.you guys were really helpful.i would like to know many things about kernel and kernel flasher. what kernels actually does? i tried search the forum but couldn't find a simple post about it.
i like using android, and i wanna know most of it if i can.......thanks
Simple explanation, the kernel and hboot function sort of as a bios of a pc. It interacts with the software.
A kernel flasher....you don't need that if you flash the boot.img (kernel) straight from fastboot. The flasher does the same.
