[Q] Trying to install ROM - HTC One X

Greetings
Trying to install a new ROM. After backing up, wiping the cach, factory resetting and system in TWRP. I then select Install and point it to the .zip on the sdcard. Each time it comes up with Failed. I have tried PA and CM, same result each time. As I am new to this, I have more than likely missed out someting quite fundamental. Help anyone?
Regards

You have the International Quad Core Tegra 3 version of the phone right?

yes, I have the International HTC one x
I was concerned I had tried to install an incorrect version of the rom. I verified that I had indeed used the correct version.

This could have more than one reason:
1. The ZIP file is broken
When you copy the Image to the SDCard you need to wait until the copy Job is finished.
The download itself might be broken. Try to unzip the file on your Computer just to check if the ZIP file is valid.
2. SD Card troubles
It could be that your SDCard might have a problem. I have only experience with CWM Recovery because on broken devices I only use this to fix everything.
3. Partition allignment
It could be that your current partitions are not 100% clear on your device. For this you need to install a STOCK firmware file and on the second Hand you need to do a factory default within Sense.
What error message you get when you install the ROM?

Think I've screwed up. I tried to restore using the backup I made using TWRP. Goes the motion, the reboot message appears, I press reboot now, and it hangs at the "HTC simply brilliant" screen.
When I try turning it off, it keeps rebooting. Is there a way of accessing these backups (there are two)? Have I really screwed things, or is there a way back.......
Looking forward to hearing good news......!!

Flashed the boot.img from the nandroid ? It's called boot.emmc.win
It's in the backup folder. Go into the recovery and mount the sdcard and copy the boot.emmc.win file and flash it with fastboot commands

Mr Hofs.
Good morning and thank you for the help.
I have located the boot file. How do I copy this boot file, and to where? What is the fastboot command, specifically?
I'm a real newbie!!!
Regards

No problem !
Well copy the boot.emmc.win file to the folder on the pc where also the fastboot.exe file is.
Open a command window inside that folder, put the phone in the bootloader and type the next at the command prompt :
Fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
Fastboot erase cache
Then reboot the phone and check if it solved the booty problem

Your phone should be in fastboot.
Boot file should be copied to fastboot folder, then rename the file to boot.img then type commands:
1-Fastboot flash boot boot.img
2-fastboot erase cache
3-fastboot reboot
Your phone should boot now

Wrong mate.....that's not the command to flash a twrp boot file
sent from my venomized piece of technology

To copy the boot file, I must be able to see the device in windows explorer. I can't. When I boot the phone, it says it can't load the master usb. Is this why? If so, what steps do I take to make the phone visable in explorer in order to copy?
Regards

Go into the recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb diskdrive in there. Then navigate to the folder and copy out the file

Mr. Hofs
YOU THE MAN!!!!! Up and working again!!
Now I'm going to continue with trying to install a custom ROM. To that end, have you any hints or tips?
Regards#

Tips :
-Make sure the battery is charged
-Make sure your hboot is high enough
-Always make a full wipe before installing a new rom
-always flash the boot.img from the specific new rom (located in the rom.zip)
That's the main guideline
sent from my venomized piece of technology

Hi
I not sure I understand what you mean when you talk about Hboot being high enough?
Regards

When you enter the bootloader you see a hboot number. Can you post it here. It's probably somewhere in line of
1.12 - 1.3x

[problem] desire restarting after cyanogen flash

Heya,
I was using the LeeDroid ROM until today, when I desided I want Cyanogen.
I backed up the phone using ROM Manager, wipe and flashed Cyanogem 6.1 RC2. The phone restarted, turned on - but it cn't load the actual android OS - just keeps restarting on the blue wheel-thing animation.
I can boot my phone into recovery, but can't do much from there since its S-ON.
The recovery windows says:
bravo pvt1 ship s-on
hboot-0.80.0000
microp-031d
touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.10.05.23
fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
what can I do to get my phone working again? Will a simple restore using HTC software do the trick (followed by root with unrevoked)?
Thanks

Which version of Clockworkmod recovery did you fakeflash? There is an issue with the latest one that makes your SDcard unaccessible afterwards. It also mess up your USB.
Here is a thread that guides you how to fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
I used the latest one, 2.5.1.7 I think.
Isn't there a way to restore the phone with the HTC software, sonething lite the iphone+itunes combo?
Is your sd card not being recognzed?
As you said you created a backup using rom manager before you flashed the new rom. So why dont you just enter hboot, go to recovery and the restore youre phone to the backup that you made using rom mabager before you flashed?
When I select "recovery" using the HBOOT I get a picture of a phone, and a red triangle with an exclamation mark. Does this mean I have to do the USB brick fix?
hmmm thats odd ... sounds like it could be a usb brick related issue, im not sure as i havnt had the same problem before or seen anyone else in the forum experiencing this problem.
I think you should read up more about the usb brick fix, hopefully there is something there that would be able to help you ... if its already known that the latest version of clockworkmod does give this problem then im sure its this and you would be able to find a solution to this problem.
Good luck
UPDATE:
My bad, I was supposed to press volumeup+power to see the recovery screen.
Now, when I do that I get "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command", and get only 4 options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe date
wipe cache
Is this related to the USB BRICK thing?
You need to wipe data when switching roms, this will fix the bootloop.
I would also suggest you flash a permanent recovery for ease of use. You need to use unrevoked to do this.

This is the default android recovery screen. The error "E:Cant open...." is something I also get.
Do you have an update.zip on your SDcard? Like the clockworkmod recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640Use 2.5.0.7 and not 2.5.1.2 (has the fail you most likely see now). If correct update.zip on SDcard, try to press apply sdcard. If youre able to do so, you are accessing your sdcard. If youre getting problems applying this update file. I suggest following the thread I told you in my first post You then have to make your SDcard accessible with a fastboot command.
You are accessing fastboot by holding vol down while powering your phone on. Select fastboot. Plug your USB. Download the Android SDK or only fastboot.exe. Run this command from cmd: "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0". You should get a return command like "okay", and your SD card should be accessible again. Now you will need to follow the guide and fix your USB. However, you should be able to flash a new ROM now when your SDcard is accessible again, or just restore the nandroid backup that gave you this problem to begin with

When i select that I get "E; failed to open sdcard\update.zip (no such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed"
Does this simply mean I don't have that file on my card?
If so, is there a way to access the card in mass storage mode while the phone is in HBOOT?

Do you have a mem reader for windows/linux? Look if you have the file or not. If you don't have it, copy it there. If it's there, you have a problem with accessing the SDCard.
I would say, If I were you, I would try to "repair" the SDcard with the fastboot command first. Most likely, your ROM will boot again when it can read from your SDcard.
Other options would be to try to push the update file with ADB in Android Recovery. Most likely you can't push it either since your SDcard most likely is inaccessible. Try fastboot
Download Android SDK for Windows here: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip

I ran the SDcard fix on CMD, it said "OKAY", but nothing changed in the phone's condition.
I put the SDcard on a card reader and saw there are backup files (.img) in the clockworkmod directory. how do i get the phone to recover from them?
The "update.zip" file, where can i get that one?

You can get your update.zip file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640
Download the 2.5.0.7 zip file and rename to update.zip. Put on root of SDcard and apply sdcard: update.zip in android recovery. From here, go to nandroid, restore, and select your backup.
Doesn't the Update.zip file suppose to be a zipped ROM?
Not necessarily. A zip can flash a lot of different things. I'm not that much into it. But it all depends on the content of the zip file.
How do I " go to nandroid"?

Don't remember what it's called exactly. But when running update.zip (clockworkmod), you should have a restore menu somewhere...
Thanks a lot man! recovering right now.. will update when done.
About that S-ON thing, will the Unrevoked reflash option "Remove phone security" take care of this? Is there a risk in re-rooting?
I want to add some notifications sounds and the "system" folder is write protected
EDIT:
The restore works just fine!

Replace framework-res.apk > Bootloop. Help!

Hi all!
I using root explorer to replace framework-res.apk
But now, my HTC Desire Z have a bootloop. I try to factory reset, wipe cache date, using update.zip but not not effective.
When I up rom in recovery (3e), the system show: E:signature verification failed
Help me fix the bootloop. Thanks!
well first off I hope you made a nandroid backup of your ROM before you did this. If so, just pull the battery, boot straight into recovery, and restore that nandroid backup.
Where did you get this framework-res.apk? did you edit it yourself? if so, what did you change? If you or someone else has changed anything decently major, the .apk needs to be re-signed. Looks like it wasn't.
Everybody help me!
I can't solve this problem

Where did the framework-res.apk you are using to replace the stock on come from?
Or is the issue now just trying to get your phone booting again?

Like I said in my first post that you didn't respond to, did you make a nandroid backup? If you didn't, you should at least have the stock framework-res.apk set aside to go back to? If you don't, and you can boot directly into recovery, then you're going to have to re-flash a fresh ROM in order to break the issues you caused with your current problem.
So if your phone is still bootlooping and you don't have a backup to go to, then follow the normal steps to flash a new ROM from recovery (this will probably be your only option if you don't have a backup):
1) download your ROM of choice
2) enter recovery, mount as USB storage
3) place ROM.zip on root of your SD card
4) install zip from SDcard > select ROM.zip
5) reboot
you'll probably lose your data, unless you flash the exact same ROM as you had before, there may be a chance that it won't.
Here's a lesson to be learned! Backup before messing with major things, and save the old framework-res.apk. And don't just willy-nilly flash random Uot Kitchen framework-res.apk's without precautions. It looks like you just got a framework-res.apk that wasn't signed properly and it messed your ROM up.

How can you not have cwm, there isn't another custom recovery for the DZ that I'm aware of.
Hang on, do you still have the stock recovery? OK so I'm going to assume you are actually rooted. Do you nave the eng hboot installed?

Ohh yeah, I forgot that. OK you will need to install recovery using fastboot. But to do that you will need to install the eng hboot. To do that please follow the instructions here http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html. But when you get to point 10 you will need to pull your battery out. And delete the PC10IMG.zip of your sd card.
Then reboot back in to bootloader and if all has gone well we will know have the DZ eng hboot installed.
The top line should now say vision eng s-off
You will then need to execute fastboot commands to install cwm. If you do not have fastboot installed download fastboot.exe from here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html and place in your platform-tools folder. You will is need the cwm recovery.img which you can get from here http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img and rename to recovery.img and place in your platform-tools folder
Open a cmd window and point it towards your platform-tools folder. Then we want to check fastboot is working, so make sure your phone is in bootloader and type fastboot devices and it should bring up your device serial number. Assuming that works type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
All being well the recovery will flash then you will be able to boot in to recovery and flash a rom.
If you have any problems or are unsure about anything head over to the #G2ROOT irc http://webchat.freenode.net/

Help me recover HTC One X

I've searched for 3 hours and nothing helped so:
I have an international HTC One X Unlocked on HTCDev with S-ON :
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.95.000
CID: HTC__032
MID: PJ4610000
I have installed ClockworkMod 5.8.4.0 and made a backup recovery 2 days ago from it before doing anything else.
and accidentally today i did these commands:
Wipe battery stats
Wipe Dalvik cache
wipe data/factory reset
and
format /cache
format /data
format /sdcard
format /system
Of course... after rebooting... NO MORE OS BOOT UP , it gets stuck at HTC Brilliant screen and stays forever.
First thing I did was to try to flash RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe
didn't work! it says UNKNOWN ERROR (i think not the os it wants)
then i copied all the backup folders from my computer (the backup that i've made 2 days ago) on the sdcard partition which i can accesss from clockworkmod by mounting usb (and of course it was totally empty)
didn't wirk either.
How cand i put back my OS while I still have access to sdcard, bootloader and clockwork mod.
Please help me, I'm a dummy!

if you know what you are doing with explorer then you just need to drop the folder 2012-07-26.05.13.13 in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
then restore your backup in recovery
i assume if you have done "format /sdcard and /system" then wondering why your phone wont boot, you are a dummy so i will write a dummy guide for you :laugh:
yeah, formatting /system is why it wont boot anymore
here are the things you need to do to get booting again
reboot into recovery
click on "mounts and storage"
click on "mount USB storage" at bottom
plug your phone into PC via USB cable
open up computer (assuming Windows) and open up your now blank /SDCARD
make a folder called "clockworkmod" (without quotes)
open this folder then make another one inside it called "backup"
copy your 2012-07-26.05.13.13 folder from your PC to the "backup" folder
click on "Unmount" on your phone
click on "+++++Go Back+++++"
click on "backup and restore"
click on "restore"
click on "2012-07-26.05.13.13"
click on "Yes - Restore"
once complete you should be fine and dandy again
I don't know what did you erase but inside zip you have boot.img which if you deleted somehow boot.img you can flash through adb shell. Don't ask me I don't know correct command line, but you can extract it and flash itbthrough phone. I will look for exact path for recovery zip file because i have root and nandroid back up and in next post I will give you my path.

THANK YOU. especially for your patience. I got somehow desperate and didn't know how to do correctly these steps
God bless you.
Please Help
Ok, so I know I take first prize for noob/dummy of the year but I'm really hoping someone cane help.
I recently rooted my one x and tried to install Android Revolution custom rom. Got stuck in a bootloop. Managed to then flash Cyanogenmod 9 (trip's version) however had issues with bluetooth not working and random reboots. Thought i'd give Android revolution a go again but got stuck in bootloop.....again!!! So...in all my (lack of) infinite wisdom, I booted into recovery and proceeded to format everything thinking I could just drop Leedroid's rom onto the sd card and flash it from recovery.
Whilst I thought this would work, I now have no access to the sd card. I tried mounting usb mass storage and the sdcard in recovery so I could just drag and drop it frrom windows but got the following error "E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or di
So, after reading through some other threads, I discovered that you could just push the zip file using adb, however, when trying this I get the error: device not found.
When launching fastboot I get
SD Checking
Failed to open usb Master mode
Failed to open usb Master mode

Failed to open usb Master mode
Please plug off USB
Hope someone out there can help.

Do you have the latst Recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
If not, update to latest recovery and try to mount USB storage again.
Also you can try to use adb while you have the phone in recovery mode, not fastboot or hboot.
And, did you remember to flash the boot.img from fast boot after reflasnig the ROM? if not, that that is causing the bootloops.

wow, thankyou so much.
That was a relatively easy solution and got be back in the game baby!!!
BTW I gotta say, I was pretty happy with my one x before but now... I think i'm in love.
Sorry if this is off topic but was unsure where else to post. Had issues with random rebooting after certain apps launched so scrapped leedroid and tried out modaco. All seemed fine but then I was getting a reboot every time I tried to access (play, set as a ring tone or even just play) mp3's so I did a full wipe reflash of Leedroid and the same thing happens, full reboot when tying to do anything with MP3s
please help

Here is an alternative way without ruu
1-Mount usb in recovery
2-Copy this rom to sdcard
3-Factory reset
4-Flash rom
4-Start ruu and grab the rom.zip (you can find guides at xda for grabbing rom.zip)
5-Extract boot_signed.img and recovery.img
6-Execute fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img and fastboot flash recovery
recovery.img
7-Reboot and relock the bootloader
and now you don't need ruu and phone works well I tried this myself and it worked
Firstly, thanks for your sugggestion. One question though, won't relocking the bootloader also unroot the phone?

I am in a similar problem with my htc one x. I tried to flash android revolution but recovery would always tell me this;
E:can't open /sdcard/Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_8.0.0,zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
I tried to restore a backup I made from the stock system, but it just reboots shortly after showing the wallpaper. I am a real noob here and I read about updating clockwork, my version is 5.8.2.7. I do not know how to do that since I can't mount usb storage from recovery...
I really would appreciate a guide that even squirrels could follow, please
Just come across this thread, and i would like to say:
ACCIDENTALLY MY ****
There is no way you can format your partitions accidentally lmao
My phone was stuck in bootloop for 4 days. I finally relocked the bootloader and flashed my RUU. Worked perfectly after that

[Q] Noob Help Needed: Phone Stuck

Hi, Brand new Noob here, but hoping someone can help…I’ve had a good scour around and can’t find the answer. We have a Htc one x from orange uk (cid orang001) stuck at “quietly brilliant” screen following an attempt to load ViperX 2.6.0. After downloading, the MAC unzipped the ROM so this was just rezipped back up and transferred over to the SD card, without any special conditions. ( I’ve since read somewhere that this might cause issues)
USB debugger was enabled but its not possible to enable it now.
Fastboot works ok, and we’ve flashed the boot ok, but ADP isn’t working, so it isn’t possible to push the correct ROM.ZIP to the SDcard. CWM is installed.
We’ve seen the post for an updated CWM with ADP enabled on this here but that states its only for at&t models. If we could get ADP working we’d be able to push the correct ROM over, so this would seem the easiest way if possible.
I wanted to avoid doing a RUU in case the phone would end up bricked, but I can’t get the correct version anyway.
Command ./fastboot getvar version-main returns
version-main: 3.16.61.6 and the noob guide at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 says we can’t use a lower version….the nearest RUU I can find is 1.29.061.11 (released on 31/01/2013).
Any ideas on how best to recover this phone? The issue might not be anything to do with the zipping of the ROM, but then I have no idea why its not working…I’m hoping it’s a simple procedure, but I fear it may not be! Please Help!
any help would be much appreciated!!
First of all go and boot into the bootloader, hold down the power button and the volume - button together as long as it takes to get in the bootloader. Do not let go of the buttons before you are in !!!
Check the bootloader, what does it say on top
Probably
Unlocked ?
Endeavouru ?
Hboot : tell me ?
And tell me which recovery you flashed type and version !

ive downloaded the vipers.zip file and copied it onto my sdcard but i can't unzip it on my mac to get the boot.img is there something special i need to do with it?
Yeah you need to flash the boot.img just like a recovery....but a different command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Check the OP of the viper thread there is a seperate download link for the boot.img file :thumbup:

[Q] Help please... Stuck in boot loop after restore from CWM

Hi all, thought I'd give you all a laugh...
I've run rooted devices before, but had kept my One X stock, until I decided I fancied a change over the weekend. Famous last words.
I'm no expert, but can generally follow instuctions.... I followed a video on onexroot.com (and used provided tools), and unlocked bootloader, rooted, backed up, and installed a custom rom (PacBAM), as well as flashing boot image just to make sure it all worked.
Initially I had a problem as I'd not realised I needed to flash boot.img, but I restored and started again, and all worked well.
My problem is this - I then decided after a few hours I didn't like PacBAM, so decided to restore my back up from recovery and start again. Basically, I've restored and everything seemed to behave properly, but now it's stuck in boot and nothing I do seems to work.
As I say, I'm no expert, but could anyone point me in the right direction please. I've tried and read various things and thought it might be something to do with the boot.img, but I'm not sure how to resolve it? :crying:
Graham.
Again you need to flash a boot.img, belonging to the backup you restored.

Thanks Webpatrick.
Sorry, but this is where I'm stuck, and my skill runs out.
I thought I had done this, but I am obviously missing something.
Step by Step.....
I entered recovery, then chose my back up to restore (which was effectively from when first rooted and the only one I have).
I then hit reboot at which point it stuck in boot loop.
I've then gone into bootloader, fastboot and connected usb.
I've then opened a command prompt and done the following.... ( which I assume comes from the oneXRoot tool originally downloaded and unzipped).
cd Downloads
cd oneXRoot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
The device has rebooted at this point, but is still stuck in boot loop.
Can you tell where I am going wrong?
Try to boot into recovery and erase dalvik cache.

Thanks tried this, unfortunately no success.
Just checking I so not think oneXRoot file contained a boot.img?
When I was installing the PacBAM ROM I needed to copy that boot.img from the unzipped file to the onexRoot file to flash it. That is therefore the boot image I've been using.
If that is the problem, and the there is no other boot image what do I need to do?
Thanks again.
Did you make a full wipe in recovery before restoring the nand ? Only dalvik cache won't help.....

When u restore your nandroid u need to flash the boot.img that's inside the nandroid folder. Copy that boot.img in your tool folder and flash it.

Thanks Guys, I'll try that when I'm back a bit later - sorry for the stupid question, but do I do that by mounting the sd card in recovery and then looking for the backup through the laptop?
Yes sir

Right people, my next question - again forgive my thickness.
I've entered bootloader, gone into recovery>advanced>mounts and storage>mount sd card.
I then went back into My Computer expecting/hoping to see the mounted sd card so I could explore it, find boot image on nandroid and copy etc.
Unfortunately life's never that simple and in my computer there is nothing showing to access? No HTC devices/phones, cards...nothing
Any pointers please?
Not sure how relevant it is, but this is what I see on the phones screen when I boot into bootloader....
SD Checking…
Failed to open USB master mode
(preload) failed to open usb master mode
Loading zip.image PJ46IMG…
Failed to open usb master mode
Please plug off USB

Guys, just wanted to say thanks for your help.
Problem sorted and back up and running.
I basically 'borrowed' the boot image from one of the Nandroid back up collections on here after using adb to suss out what my CID was.
Then cleared cache, flashed boot image and went into recovery etc etc.
Thanks again

Case closed \o/
