[Solved] Stuck in CWM Recovery

During installation of ARHD Rom I suddenly got caught up in CWM Recovery mode. I have now tried to wipe system and everything and do a "restore" of my NANDROID backup without success. My question then is; how the hell can I push a ROM to my phone with the phone only in CWM Recovery??? I'm kind'a desparate!!!
Can also mention I'm on a Mac!
Hope someone has the answer!

Try restoring your nandroid backup, just remember to flash the boot.img
Sent from my fauxed HOX running ARHD 8.0.0

Did you flash recovery to the boot partition? (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)That could explain why it only boots to recovery. Try flashing recovery again (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.) then the boot.IMG (fastboot flash boot boot.IMG )then the Rom.

I've already tried that, I've even tried going to advanced restore -> boot -> restore boot without success..
BTW; I've now managed to push a new ROM onto my phone, installed it but still it won't but other than to recovery!!!

Sounds pretty much like what I did.. Will try your version now..
LATEST EDIT:
Seems like it did the trick rayford85.. Nice to see the bootanimation on my HOX again! Stupid step to forget (flashing the boot.img) LoL! Thank you rayford85!

Reusing this post to another dumb question... Everytime I reboot my phone it seems like the boot.img disappears because I have to ./fastboot-mac boot boot.img for every reboot of my phone!
Any good ideas of how to solve this?

Aaah chill bro...u did not flash the kernel
Sent from my One V using xda premium

Seems like you didn't finish flashing your kernel, or that you didn't wipe the cache and dalvik AFTER flashing the ROM or kernel...
Remember you have to extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash through the bootloader. If you have a separate kernel you're supposed to flash the zip in CWM and also flash the boot.img that you extracted from the zip through the bootloader as well. Remember to wipe your cache and dalvik after flashing. It's crucial!
In any case what ROM are you flashing, and what separate kernel if any? It's always good to have the RUU for your phone before you try these things...

You either didn't full wipe or didn't flash kernel...devs write all the steps in the thread.. why don't people follow ??

Stuck on Pink Unicorn bootloader ICJ first time

First time installing custom rom.
Installed lastest one twice both times stuck on this bootoader screen stating "INITIATING SWAGGER" lol
Here is the page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052610
I did a MD5 checksum on the zip file after transferring to phone, checked out.
I used the One X toolkit v2.2 to unlock bootloader and install TWRP v2.3.3, then I downloaded the ROM and placed it on the phone. I entered recovery and installed and then wiped.
Not sure what the problem is

Well it could be a couple things. Maybe you don't have enough swagger to start the rom? Didn't follow the installation instructions properly. Or the most likely one is didn't flash the boot.img in fastboot.
The rom works 100% so you must have messed up som where.
Make sure you wipe data, system, dalvic cache and cache under custom recovery. Boot into bootloader and select fastboot and open CMD on your computer.
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Flash rom
Done.
Easy as pie and hell boot loops like the one your experiencing now happen quite often. Just restart and try again.

I thought it was an option to flash via fastboot or use recovery.
Anyway by "Flash rom" I assume use recovery.
BTW do you know of any windows 8 drivers that work with the phone?
Edit: got it working no worries

You have to flash the boot.img in fastboot if your device is S-ON which in no doubt it probably is. There are some Windows programs and batch files that can do it for you but personally using those 3 commands is the easiest and safest way.
Flash only the rom .zip in recovery.
Install HTC One X driver on Windows 8
I see your quite new to XDA so I recommend you to get familiar with the search button. If you have a problem with your device XDA is probably the #1 place to get help. I wouldnt doubt someone else has had the same problem as you so a quick search in our forums could help you find your way. Also having a look at the forum rules couldn't hurt.
Nice choice choosing ICJ as your first rom! It's one of my favorites too but also check out ViperX and TripNRaVeR's kernels.

ICJ
Hi there good choice in rom as you can see i am new to but been on ICJ since oct and its really good and all the guys there are more than willing to help and are good guys.
Matt

There is a very good tutorial in the op of the thread you can check and follow the easy steps there and you will be good to go.
Great choice mate best rom I used so far.

[Q] Roms takes too long to boot up?

Hi,
This is the first time i'm installing a custom rom on my One X and every rom I tried takes too long (15min) to boot up and then i actually give up and try something else
I've tried:
CM10
ICJ 1.6
and some others but they keep getting stuck at htc logo screen
Can somebody help me out and tell me what i'm doing wrong?
This is what I do:
I've rooted and unlocked bootloader
1) go into fastboot
2) flash boot.img
3) go to recovery
4) wipe cache and dalvik cache
5) install rom with recovery
6) wipe cache and dalvik cache
7) install gapps
8) wipe cache and dalvik cache
9) reboot
That is the procedure i saw on many threads and sites.
Problems?:
One thing i noticed was that when going to HBOOT I get the following: failed to open usb master mode
Roms that did work
Android Revolution HD 18.1 and 9.8, I think that's because of the aroma installer and I don't have to do anything
But Android Revolution HD worked very slow and laggy for some reason...
Any help is greatly appreciated. Have been searching everywhere for 2 days know and can't figure it out

Boot.img needs to be flashed after you install the ROM.
Otherwise the ROM will flash over the Boot.img (atleast I think thats how it works)
By the way, no ROM would take 15 minutes to boot, if it does you're in a bootloop.

I don't know where you got the instructions from, but they're horribly wrong and overly redundant.
This is what you should do when flashing a new rom:
1. Boot to recovery
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Flash rom and gapps (if necessary)
4. Reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader)
5. Flash boot.img
6. fastboot erase cache (if you're having problems, usually unnecessary)
That's all. For upgrading the same rom (say, to a newer version), you can skip step 2.

That only applies to non-HTC phones or HTC phones with s-off. Phones with s-on like the HOX will not flash boot.img via recovery, only fastboot. Other phones have their boot.img flashed via recovery directly, skipping the fastboot bit as it is redundant.

1st: wrong forum, you have to post that in Q/A
2nd: you dont have to flash the boot.img after ROM, the ROM cant overflash it because we dont have s-off yet
3rd: are you sure you are using the right kernel (boot.img) for the ROMs you are trying to flash. After the hboot updates (JB) we got some changes on what you can flash and what not.

First of all Sorry for posting in the wrong forum and thankyou for the replies.
I have tried the things you guys said and it still didn't work
the boot.img i use are the ones included in the zip.
EDIT:
Got it working with ICJ:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0j_sESAIds&feature=youtu.be

And you are sure that you can use that specific ROM with your curent firmware ? Is your hboot 1.31 and above (did you perform the JB OTA) ?
Sent from my EndeavorU using xda premium

sometimes you also need to fastboot erase cache because at sense roms it can help...try that if it won't work did you flashed any mods after that?

No i'm not sure (will search how I can find out), yes I have hboot 1.31, yes I have performed JB OTA.
I have also done fastboot clear cache

If you want to use CM10 on a JB hboot you need a modified boot.img file
http://db.tt/uDdWaAtH
With this one and a full wipe it will boot fine
The failed to open usb master error is due to the cable that is connected to the pc, plug it off and try it again. The error will be gone

From what i've noticed on my HTC One X the steps to install ROMS on it is the same but in a pattern!
1)Boot recovery and install the rom THEN the gapps
2)Factory Data Reset (If coming from a sense rom to a AOKP/AOSP(cyanogenmod for example)
3)reboot in fastboot then flash the boot image.
That should be all.
If it's a sense rom your flashing then the rom is corrupted.

HTC one X wont boot, wierd !

Hey all,
I have an HTC one X.
The Case, phoen wont boot to any screen except for, bootloader on recovery mode (including TWRP and CWM).
I have followed the instructions regarding the usage on HTC one X all in one tool, phone is rooted ( pic1.)
Afterwards, ive flashed, wiped formatted system, and then Flashed Stock ROM.
Phone is not booting farther than the CWM screen (pic2).
Any suggestion would be gladly accepted.

RUU?

Im on to it ...

did you flashed the boot.img from rom via fastboot? such things you should not forget...otherwise it wouldn't work so just try another rom wipe system, data, dalvik cache and cache in recovery flash the rom of your choice and in fastboot you have to flash the boot.img which is in the rom zip .with fastboot flash boot boot.img....then fastboot erase cache and fastboot reboot so that the phone reboots...then setup your phone and it's done

If you're running stock kernel you have to flash the original kernel and re-lock the phone, easiest way is using RUU (still have to relock your phone though)
Also, How is this a "development" for android?!!!

Thanks for putting your minds to it guys,
Thats the deal.

1. While booting, goes straight to bootloader or into recovery...

3. Flashed stock ROM, flashed any other possible ROM... reboot, and it goes back yo the bootloader menu.
Then, just to be clear.
Using the All in one HTC one X.
Re-Lock the phone
Went all the way from beginning.
1. Get token ID, Submit token ID, Unlock bootloader ( done, worked)
2. done the Wipe and re-flashed ROM... same result as before...
3. tried the RUU... nothing
4. i took out the boot.img out of the stock ROM and ran the and did a Kernel flash....
and now i have a pretty logo screen

Thanks for all the Help!!
