Full wipe before install? i think i not
ROM name? ROM ??? I don't know
I just wonder how to get android back >"< if it 4.2 it would be good but if be back to sock then it's fine

What did you actually install to get your phone in this state?
"android 4.2" isn't good enough answer.
Sent from my HTC One X

The steps are
Unlock bootloader (check)
Flash cwm custom recovery with fastboot commands
Flash the boot.img of the desired rom with fastboot commands
Do a full wipe in recovery
Install the rom.zip in recovery
Do you understand this all ?

All I try to bricked my fone is I followed this guide >"<

and i get stuck on step 13 because i didn't install CWM.
like what you says Flash cwm custom recovery with fastboot commands
how do I flash cwm like what you said >"<
Im sorry but I really noob on this stuff >"<

Download this file
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
And put it in your fastboot folder on the pc, put your phone in fastboot USB mode and do these commands
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Fastboot erase cache
With this recovery you can mount the phone as USB diskdrive to copy over the rom to install. You already know how to flash the boot.img ?

nope it's would be really greats if u show me step by step like that xDDD thankss
and i don't know wt to do with boot.img >"<

Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

No you guys have any complete guides on how to unbrick htc one x ? im a bit confuse on those steps u told me

The link i gave you is a full guide to flash a custom rom.....start at page 1
Really all info is there !
You need to put the recovery.img in the fastboot folder on the pc....
Navigate to the folder and open a dosprompt there
Then do the command
Fastboot devices
If your serial pops up its good ....
Otherwise you need to install HTC sync and then uninstall HTC sync and leave the drivers .... And if that doesn't work you need the java SDK platform !

Connect your HTC One X to your USB cable and then to the PC, choose Disk Drive, next, copy and paste the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.Zip file onto the root of the SD card for your HOX. Once that's on there, change the phones USB connection to charge only.

i understand that but my android OS not even turn no >"< how do I suppose to change to disk drive. and I try to install sdk,htc sync manager but it doesn't work .
im on fastboot usb mode but my lap doesn't detect my fone

But i don't understand this : you flashed the boot.img with fastboot command.....why does the recovery image doesn't work then and why do you have a lost connection ?
You need to have the phone in fastboot USB mode when flashing boot.img and recovery's ! Let's get back to basic .....
At what point are you now : it's bootlooping but you can acces the bootloader ?

no im on fastboot usb mode..
like what you said and from the guide:
copy and paste the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.Zip file onto the root of the SD card for your HOX

[Q] HTC One X Possibly Bricked

Hi all,
I think my friend and i bricked his phone last night.
Its the HTC one x and we used the Hasoon2000 method. I think the problem was the perm root part of the software said unable to connect to device.
I searched around and someone said to flash supersu and that should do it. However after flashing that we did a backup of the phone in clockwork recovery.
We then tried flashing the viperX rom which we did on another one X and worked fine, it got to 1% and restarted. It then stuck at the quietly brilliant page.
We can't get it to boot into recovery but can get it to go to the bootloader. We tried to do the fastboot command from the PC to erase fastboot cache but it couldnt connect to the device.
I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764421 and but it is about the AT&T version, what recovery image would i need?
Also how can i tell if it is hard bricked or soft bricked? As i'm worried it could be hard bricked cause i couldnt erase the fastboot cache.
Any help is appreciated, and sorry if this is answered somewhere else but i couldnt see an answer.

Bit more bootloader info:
Unlocked
S-On
Hboot 1.39.0000
If possible i'd like to help my friend finish rooting it but if its easier put it back to normal.
Again thanks if anyone can help me.

What does the bootloader say, EVITA or ENDEAVORU ?

It says endeavoru

Then stay away from the HTC one XL forum, its a different phone !!!
Do you have the HTC drivers installed and a folder on the pc with the fastboot files ?
Place these files in a folder like this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
C:\fastboot\files i gave you
Then put the phone in the bootloader and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot devices
If a serial comes up we are good to go !

Well we installed the HTC drivers with the Hasoon tool so yes. Just meeting my friend now so i'll put these files in a folder and try that straight away.
Thanks, will let you know shortly.

Just connected it to my laptop and the pc said fastboot drivers installed and made the noise of a device connecting and disconnecting.
Haven't tried what you said yet as it said battery is too low on the bootloader. I've now plugged it in a plug socket and have it on the htc quietly brilliant screen. I take it this should still charge it?

Is it possible for you to turn the phone off?
IF so it should charge a bit quicker that way
Also just to clarify, how did you try to install Viper X on your phone?

Hmm no, if its bootlooping then yes. Is the bootloader unkocked and do you have a custom recovery installed yet ?
In case you have a custom recovery installed put the phone in the recovery it will charge the batt in there .....
Otherwise put the phone in the bootloader and run this file from within the fastboot folder
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuously reboot the phone and charge it little by little, leave it like this for an hour or so.

No, if i go into bootloader and fastboot then power down it turns itself back on if its plugged in.

The bootloader says unlocked, and we had CWM recovery installed it no longer loads up, it just reboots itself.
I'm confused by what you mean, what command would i use to run that file from the fastboot folder and after doing that do you mean i should leave it charging from the laptop?
Link to image of the bootloader if this helps - http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=11217

Just connect the phone to the pc and put the phone in the bootloader then execute the .bat file from the fastboot folder (download it and move it in there)
It should start rebooting the phone over and over again.
Edit : I see fastboot usb in the bootloader that's good ! :thumbup:
We need to get the batt charged so we can reflash the recovery, that will probably solve it all.

Ok this is working. It doesn't say about low battery anymore on the bootloader. But ill leave it charging for a bit. What is my next step?

Next step is to reflash the recovery, download this one
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and Copy the file in the fastboot folder. Put the phone in the bootloader again and flash the recovery
All these commands are executed from the command prompt inside the fastboot folder.
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery by pressing hboot one time (confirm with powerbutton) then press recovery

Ignore me Mr Hoffs beat me to it

YES! That has worked, we are in recovery. What can i do now? Should i try flashing ViperX or is the phone not permarooted?
Last time i tried to do permroot with the Hasoon2000 tool. That didnt work and i just flashed superSU, i think i must be missing something.
Thanks so much for your help!

If you do this, you will be good. Maybe you van skip some steps because you already did them before but I mention them anyway
Download the viper x JB rom, open it with an unpack program and copy the boot.img and place it in the fastboot folder. Copy the rom.zip to the phone (mount as usb drive in the mounts & storage part of the recovery)
Now put the phone back in the bootloader and flash the boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery again and do a full wipe , also wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. Then install the rom.zip with the
Install zip from sdcard menu !
Install the viper and choose in the aroma installer of the rom FULL WIPE and the question you get about the custom kernel you answer with NO !
Don't worry about root, the rom is standard rooted
Good to go mate

[Q] Forgot to install ROM before the custom recovery.

I was following this guide with the intention of installing Cyanogenmod on to my HTC One X (international version), and I got as far as the Flashing a ROM section, towards the bottom, when I reached step 5, which reads "Make sure you already have your shiny new ROM .zip on your internal memory as you cannot enable mass storage in the current recovery builds."
At this point I realised I had not done this, and I have no way of putting the ROM onto the phone. Is there anything I can do, or do I have to start from scratch, and if so, how do I do that?
I'm following this guide regarding installing the ROM, but is there a better one? That guy cannot spell.
I also have this thread open for CM10.1, but it's quite confusing. Should I be downloading the following?: Beta 7 (pure JB vendor): http://d-h.st/fo4 - Kernel 3.1.10 included.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, and "backed up." I don't know what I've backed up, but I've backed up something. I have not wiped anything, and I still appear to have a functional phone.

you probably backed up the stock rom however to push the rom onto your phone you should go into recovery and mount USB and the put the rom onto the sdcard that's it...

Do I just place the file in the main folder, or does it go somewhere specific? Thanks for your help by the way.

You can mount it inside the recovery as a diskdrive and yes you need that cm10.1 + gapps if you want them too. Mount it and copy the rom and gapps to it
Here is a small tut i wrote earlier. ...
This counts for recovery cwm 5.8.4.0 (otherwise a full wipe in any other recovery must be done)
In recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache,data,system
Remove the cable to the pc before installing the rom !
Then install CM10.1 after that GAPPS.....DO NOT REBOOT
Reconnect the cable and ......
type in the fastboot command window
Adb reboot bootloader
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (the file from the rom)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot

Thanks for your comprehensive reply dude. Does the gapps (Google Apps I assume?) include Google Now? I'd become quite accustomed to that particular gadget and I will miss it.

Actually i have to guess yes.....i never tried it !

Ok, once this gapps is downloaded I am good to go I think. If I brick it I can just break it and claim it on the insurance. Although this phone is brand new because my old one drowned a couple weeks ago, so they mightn't like two claims in such quick succession.

yeah gapps have google now too

How do I install the ROM? I have the two files on the storage (in unzipped folders), but how do I install them?

Well you have a certain folder on the pc....from where you also flashed the recovery ? It contains fastboot.exe and adb.exe files ....right? You open the cm10.1.zip file and you see the boot.img file in there, you copy that to the fastboot folder on the pc and flash it

oh yeah forgot about that sorry...
before going into recovery you should go into fastboot mode, connect the phone to your computer and type those command in the terminal/cmd, the boot.img file can be easily found in the cm10.1 thread or in the rom.zip... after that install the rom following the steps above...

I'm on a Mac, so the guide said I only needed the fastboot file, not the adb one. What do you mean "flash it"?
I've rebooted the phone as you said, but it just says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." I click Ok and it says that again.

fastboot mode: power off the phone, power+vol down, select fastboot and press power, you're done

You can go in the bootloader first and flash the boot.img. I described it the other way around because you end with a cache erase to avoid boot problems (got this from the thread itself)
Basically it comes down to this
You put the phone in the bootloader and you see a red text that says "fastboot usb"
At that point you flash the boot.img from the mac to the phone.
Then you unhook the cable and do the rest of the guide

like mr hofs said if you install a custom rom it's pre-rooted...

First you need to flash a rom. A rom is rooted not the phone. Those are 2 different things.
First do all of this :
Download the rom of your choice and copy it to the phone sdcard. Cwm recovery - mounts & storage - mount usb device then copy it. Open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img file to the fastboot folder on the pc.
Now boot into the bootloader and flash the boot.img with these commands
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Now enter the recovery (CWM 5.8.4.0 minimal) and perform a full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Then install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
Choose the rom.zip and continue to install
Reboot
Enjoy your rooted custom rom

and now is planning to go into custom rom, and he already download some of them yesterday

Rom switching

Hello guys
I rooted my phone recently and I am using CM10.1 since. I wanted to switch to different roms using ROM manager but every time I try it it just reboots back to CM.... idk what to do...
I have an HOX Int trying to switch from CM 10.1 to Nocturnal xi40.
Thanks in advance)

Don't use ROM manager...
1. Download the ROM, extract the boot.img to fastboot folder and copy the rom.zip to your phone.
2. Go to fastboot mode and flash the boot.img via fastboot and then 'fastboot erase cache'.
3. Go to recovery make a full wipe...(Data/cache/dalvic)
4. Now flash the ROM.zip from recovery.
5. Reboot!
Follow these steps every time you flash a new ROM!

after i flashed the recovery you gave me and i used fastboot reboot it just gets stuck on the htc logo.

Flashed the recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (rename it to recovery.img)
Fastboot erase cache
Flashing a recovery will not mess up the actual working rom !

I flashed the recovery successfully but what new? tried the "Mount usb" option but it just gives me 2 options "Go back" or "Unmount"....

Leave it on that screen and hook up the usb cable....wait......wait.....and it should pop up eventually

10 minutes and still counting... nothing happened.

Don't know what you did the first time ? Try this one then
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
It must work. Otherwise there is something with the phone. Or you messed up a command somewhere ?

I did what you told me and im still stuck on htc logo... on the "Mounts and storag" menu it only has the option of go back nad unmount...
I dont care if i need to switch back to any other rom, even go back to stock and unrooted. i just want to be abe to use the phone

I know what you mean but mount as usb drive must work. Do you use the original HTC usb cable ? Are you using a direct usb 2.0 port on the pc ?
And if you see the : unmount and go back text you are in the mounting menu, at that point the sdcard is being mounted ! Don't tap "go back" or "unmount"
