Hi guys, I've had my Desire rooted for around 2 months and have used loads of
ROMs/Mods etc. It's fair to say I know the procedure. At the moment though I'm
puzzled and worried because I have lost my previous ROM and can't get a new one
on!
I was flashing a new version of Pinky Desire over the previous one (without wiping)
and it never got to the reboot screen. So I took out the battery and put it back in
to reboot it. It got to the custom boot screen and no further so I then booted into
recovery and wiped data and cache and re-flashed the ROM, but the result was
the same...
So I tried this a couple more times until suddenly the recovery-windows.bat file
would no longer put me into a recovery menu. I've tried everything I can think of
(using my original Goldcard etc) but nothing is fixing it- it's like I've lost root access.
How can I make my phone useable again? PLEASE HELP!!!
EDIT: In case it makes a difference I did delete what I thought were some old .zips from my SD shortly before this.
Install an official RUU, then re-root it? I guess some of the pro's got some better answers though
Download the ClockworkMod recovery, rename it in update.zip, put it in the sd, enter recovery, when you get the red triangle press vol up+power, select to flash update.zip.
Yep, flash an ruu, then re-root, only this time use unrEVOked and for future when flashing roms use the newer recoveries like clockworkmod or amonra.
The old recoverywindows.bat file leaves you at risk of the usb brick. You may well already have that now if you pulled the battery mid flash.
Thanks all. Haven't had a chance to do this yet but will. I did manage to flash an update.zip but it won't detect the sd. will try with clockwork mod.

Tried this but all I'm getting is cannot find directory. It retries about 12 times then
reboots. Just won't work.
When trying to flash an RUU it comes up with 'Error 170: USB connection error'.
This is weird because the device's bootloader recognises that there's a usb
connection. Any ideas?
EDIT: Seems like the phone in it's current state simply can't mount an sd card.
Gotta try some alternative methods for getting the RUU to run...

Had almost same problem.
I even couldn't flash update.zip
the problem was in SD. it was working OK in windows, but phone couldn't mount it. soved problem with reformating using SDFormater, when formated with clockworkmod.

I've two SDs and neither is working though so...
two things
the windows unlockerthing.bat was only supposed to be run one time, after that you could access the menu pressing vol up and power...
Why would you pull the batt on a Flash??
Pulled the battery because the device said flash completed but didn't do anything for over 5 mins. Won't make that mistake again. I've actually bricked the USB so this thread is a little pointless now
Oh and I did fix the SD issue
Hey everyone. I know there are already a few threads with boot loop animations, and am having difficulties finding the same situation as what I'm going through. Here is what the phone used to have before it randomly started looping:
Rooted - with Stock rom, using ClockwordMod Recovery 5.5.0.2
Used Go Launcher Theme ( if that even matters )
No additional roms installed or anything, the phone is 3 months old.
Ok here is where I'm stuck. I understand I should reflash somethings like recovery image or something, but I'm stuck with one big problem. My computer and phone don't recognize using the USB mount.
The message I get is called "Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory)
Here's what screens I can get to:
1. Hold vol up/down while holding power ( the little android with its belly open, and the options Start - Restart Bootloader - Recovery mode - Power Off )
2. Hold vol down - ODIN mode, with the START option only
I can access WMD recovery and factory reset, Try to install my old backup, nothing works at all in that area, no matter what I do.
Can someone advise me a step by step way of getting my computer to recognize my phone, so that I am able to do fastboot, or reflash, or anything to get my phone working again. I can't access my internal memory at all.
It's even possible that I've read too much, and my frustration is getting in the way, if so I apologize! Some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance of course! I need my phone for business!
Cheers,
Install the drivers on a computer then use fastboot oem unlock. Or just factory reset it from within recovery.

Try my siggy.
I'm not sure about the exact error:
But the link there will get you the correct drivers.
Also, as stated...try to factory reset.
You'll lose your apps/data that way though =/
Hopefully you can get the driver installed and get your computer to recognize.
If so, follow this to back up your apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
Have exactly the same setup as you (rooted/stock/CWM) and had the animation bootloop - animation would just loop until a battery pull.
Only thing that solved it was a factory reset from recovery. Been working fine for the 4 weeks since. No need for any reflashing etc. Titanium recoveries have all worked fine as well. Didn't try my Nandroid backup as I thought that may still have the 'fault' built in.
I had a boot loop for every from I tried to flash...wat fixed it was before flashing u need to wipe system data and wipe the cache in the recovery...ie a clean install...then every rom I tried worked...so I think ur missing that crucial step coz it worked for me

Hey guys, as stated above I've done numerous factory resets, it still seems to boot. I will for sure try to get the drivers installed so my phone is recongised by the computer, but would need step-by-step assistance when doing fastboot, or whatever the next step is.
Looking for more help though! Keep em coming!
?
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Ok guys, so here's where I'm at now. I've used Jubakuba's sticky link, located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
Everything is able to be recognized up to the point where it says "Put the su.zip on your phone."
Since I cannot access my phone contents, since I keep getting this "Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory), it does not allow me to add anything to my phone.
I re-installed CWD as stated in the list of things to do, and all that went well. But I have the same issue, I tried factory resetting all that. erase cache, and still stuck with the same issue.
What's my next step now peeps? Looking for a quick answer as I have time to do it tonight!
Edit***
Just tried this trick: but it says it does not recognize the device?? what is going on! Please help someone! Thanks!

Q: My phone won't boot!
A: The easiest option is to get into recovery and restore a nandroid using the above guide (pull battery to put phone in an off-state if needed).
However, more advanced options are available if you don't have a nandroid available (You're naughty).
Do you have another rom .zip available on your SD card? If so, simply use the above guide for installing a rom to get you booting again.
If not, you can download one on your PC. Boot into fastboot (the green Android with open chest menu).
Move the .zip to the C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder.
Open ADB.
Change the NAMEOFZIP.zip below to the correct file name...and perform the action.
Surely your computer recognizes your phone. Otherwise how were you able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery?
And I've never seen that error message before. It doesn't even make any sense to me. Where are you seeing it? On your phone or on your computer? And in what context? What are you trying to do when it shows up?
If your phone isn't booting I'm not sure that you can copy any files to it yet. (Maybe you can use adb in clockworkmod? I'm not sure) What I do know you can do is flash the stock ROM and start over.

Here's a instructions for the GSM version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806
For the Verizon version, I can't find the thread at the moment but you just replace the filenames and also there's 2 radios to flash so:
fastboot flash radio *filename*
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cmda *filename*
"Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory) appears on the phone, in CWD mode, when trying to attempt "mount Usb" to be able to access my internal storage .
I am attempting your thoughts right now.
I will post with results
Ok I tried to do this step. This is the outcome I received on the computer after even typing the first step:
'fastboot-windows' is not recognized as aninternal or external command, operable program or batch file.
A thing to stress, I'm not sure how to do step 1: 1) Take a Nandroid Backup if you have CWM installed.

GREAT NEWS!

the problem is when that happen?? when ur phone is booted and u plug the usb cable to ur pc? or when u are under recovery and want mount the usb mass storage? the second one doesn't work
please help my phone doesn't want to go pass the recovery i try to do a recovery but it tells me that can't mount sdcard and after that goes black and giving me a five or six vibrations anyone knows any knows any fix please Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from a Noob
Are you able to get access to the bootloader? I'm unsure of where you're problem is. Please outline your steps and where it's failing.
yes am able to get to bootloader but when i get to select zip file to install bam there it goes E:/ can't mount sdcard that's as far as it goes and if i get it to restart i get a black screen with 6 vibrations and a blinking green light. any idea???
well you're trying to install something from the bootloader and we need to get to recovery. Bootloader will try to install whatever is labeled pc36img.zip on the root of your sd card. This can contain installs for radios, recoveries (clockwork/amen ra), splash screens and maybe some other things. If you have a recovery installed you should be able to NOT install form the sd card when you are in bootloader and then load recovery where you would flash your new ROM. If you don't have a bootloader installed, You will need to download one (do a search for Amen Ra or clockwork), rename the install zip to pc36img.zip, move it to the root of your sd card and then in the bootloader when it ask you if you want to install, then you can hit yes. Once the recovery is installed, then you need to load recovery flash everything but your sd card and install a new ROM.
Hope this helps
If you don't have option to go to recovery from bootloader, then you need to put a recovery in PC36IMG form on root of SD card. Then power on by volume down and power button. Bootloader should find and install your recovery.
On another note. Over last 2 yrs, I've seen many people lose recovery, get the 5 vibrates, and never be able to recover from it despite valiant effort. Hopefully this is not your case.

What they need to do is basically reformat the sd card completely, then repartition [if they are].
yeah i did that and i just find out that the phone is not charging if I plug it into an outlet or to the computer ????? I been looking everywhere for a ruu rooted for my evo but with no luck by any chance do you guys know where can i get one that's the only way for now that i can flash a rom my phone is S-OFF but the rom is not rooted i don't know what to do
i'm not really into all of that stuff.. but i just tried and failed miserably, haha.
so this is my problem:
i got a htc one x, rooted it and everything was alright. after that i tried to flash cyanogenmod 10 on it. i followed these stepps in this video: /watch?v=elDvcVot7qo (i would enter the full link.. but i'm not allowed to, because this is my first post here)
so i downloaded the cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-007.zip and ripndroidgapps-jb-20120805.zip .. but instead of putting both of them onto my sd card, i put all the datas which were IN the files onto my device. now my handy is stuck on the bootloop and i have no access to my sd card anymore.. i just need the access to fix it, does anyone know a solution for it?

If you did a backup in cwm you can restore it or try and flash the rom again just make sure you read through the whole process a couple of times, mistakes are very easy to make, also look for threads about the rom you are flashing and try and cross reference the procedure, this sometimes helps ...good luck!

I've been looking around a lot and I'm seriously to the point where I'm totally confused, I have my friend's HTC ONE X (international one) where we followed Hsasoon2000's tool kit (which also uses htcdev website) to unlock the boot loader and it apparently it did and everything was good but when we tried to install the CM10 rom for jellybean using his toolkit the phone got into this "boot loop" and we can't figure how to fix it.. we can get to the bootloader.. where if we select recovery it takes us to this "team win recovery project" thing and gives us several options but .. we are pretty new to this and we don't want to screw this even more. I got to the USB storage mount and I'm able to get into the files through the computer.. can any of you guys help please?? WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT

i use CC rom and updated to latest rom, it corrupted sommehow i guess
it was locked into HTC bootloop and i could not reach recovery with volume button.

Hi all, really need some expert help.
I fitted an one x + battery a week ago, and all was running ok until Wednesday. Phone locked up and wouldn't reboot. I've read as much as I can but I cant seem to find a cure.
I can enter bootloader and flash from there. I have erased cahce, flashed TWPR, but in recovery I still cannot mount sd card.
I have uninstalled and re installed HTC Sync.
Some help would be greatly received as I need the phone for work and sat nav.
I have tried running ruu, but it fails saying usb error.
I am not sure but I think I need stock recovery which will repair corrupted sd card.
Thanks in advance. Mel
Try philz touch recovery
I will when I get home Mr Hoffs.
Problem also it sometimes wont even boot into bootloader, or recovery. It seems very hit and miss, any ideas why this might be?
Im hoping its due to corruption of SD that can be cured with a format.
Flash the recovery when you reach the bootloader, and afterwards also erase cache !
Fastboot erase cache
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Good afternoon Mr Hoffs. I. have flashed Philz recovery, erased cache. But everything I try it says unable to mount sd card, unable to mount data, unable to format/mount SD card. This happens with everything I try in all recoveries.
Do you think I need a stock recovery, I read that this can help to format the card.
If so, where would I find the stock recovery.
What a way to spend a Friday evening, but I need my phone.
I get the noise when connecting my phone to laptop.
I have tried 2 cables, all usb ports. Tried cable on my old Desire and its fine
While I connect my laptop says its installing the drivers software, but then it says ' driver software was not correctly installed ' but I have also had the message that usb not recognised
Its strange that it will mount ok in fastboot.
I'm happy for more suggestions. Does the phone charge in Philz recovery, I am currently on 61%, so ok for a while.
Thanks for your help so far, hopefully we can save my One X
no harm in trying, give me the outcome of : fastboot getvar version-main. then i csn give at least the stock recovery. but in philz you need to enter the recovery, then hookup the usb cable and then press mount as usb mass storage. It can take a few minutes before it actually mounts and pop up in windows. So make sure to give it enough time to mount

when you are in the recovery, not mounted or anything. Do you see MYHTC in the windows device manager. i think you have to update the drivers. install the latest HTC syncmanager from the htc site and let it all update. then try again.

Battery was showing 100% earlier in recovery so I think it is charged, I get a different noise when connecting to pc. Not sure what this crazy phone is upto !
Only thing you can do is try all these different things including another pc (never know) not sure what else to try. Maybe this :
1: Factory reset from the bootloader menu
2: factory reset within recovery
Then check for mount options
This morning it wouldn't turn on after being on charge overnight.
Device manage says Apx.........
I've left it and gone to work hoping the phone fairies are looking down on me.
I did try factory reset in bootloader, and recovery.
