I am so stuck with this problem and have been searching forums for answers for days...Also, I am new at this. After much trial and effort I managed to
1. unlock my htc one x bootloader
2. install CWM recovery
3. install cyanogen mod
AND, it worked....however there were none of the google apps (gapps). So I downloaded them on the phone, went into CWM recovery and installed them from there. My phone restarted, then turned off. It now won't reboot.
It loads only as far as the HTC quietly brilliant logo. I can access bootloader through the power/vol.down keys. Then when I select 'recovery', it simply goes back to the "splash screen" described earlier.
I figured I would just try to reflash CWM and start over, but every time I flash CWM (and I have tried hundreds of times), the command lines say it has been done, but the phone just boots back to the splash screen again, and hangs there.
How do I get my phone back working again?
Many thanks in advance, and your patience is appreciated

If so try to flash another recovery just like Philz_Touch recovery.
thanks for your reply...i had already attempted Philz recovery 5.11.2, and just tried again. And again, the cmd box says it is written and finished, done and OKAY. Yet when I reboot or try to go to recovery, the phone immediately reverts to the splash screen still. Open to any ideas, and feel free to ask as many questions as needed...thanks Virgolib
Do the command " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" ?
that's exactly the command i typed, but no luck!

It's weird , it was never happened to me and have no idea at all, sorry. someone can help you.
Anyhow now you just do power off the phone for sometime and try it again, good luck.
Thanks for your suggestions anyway...does anyone else out there have a solution?
Try this: fastboot erase cache, boot in recovery
If that does not solve your problem, erase cache, turn off device from bootloader and then try to enter recovery

Your recovery is fine just go back to bootloader and type in fastboot erase cache and then boot back to recovery.
Yep fastboot erase cache should do the trick indeed. Then start over with a full wipe !
Install CM rom, install gapps and then reboot. It doesn't work with a reboot in between !

i have tried all those things many times...the moment i attempt to enter recovery, the phone just goes straight to the htc quietly brilliant screen.
but just to be certain i am completing the steps right, i open a command window and type the prompt; fastboot erase cache
the pc tells me it is done
i then manually through the volume buttons select the recovery option and press power to execute
just a thought gents, my bootloader indicates that my battery is low. i have been using this command script i found to charge it a little, but it doesn't seem to charge it much...could the low battery be the cause or at least contributing to my problem?

hi mr Hofs, you seem to be the Don on this site!!!
I have tried everything suggested...relocked, unlocked, reflashed etc, but still, keep getting stuck on that htc quietly brilliant screen when trying to enter CWM recovery (or Philz recovery)
anything else i can try?
Uhm well i am not sure about this one. But lets keep on trying. I'm gonna put some random questions out
1: original HTC usb cable
2: directly usb 2.0 port on pc (not via hub or extension cords)

Yes, I am using the original white HTC cable and i am going directly into my computer's usb plug...sorry for the lag in response, i am in australia so probably sleeping when u reply, but thanks for your continued help.
i am certain it's not bricked, as when i relock then unlock, i get the screen on my phone asking me if i am certain that i want to unlock it. it also responds to my command prompts in the black command window.

Hi Treebill. I am using recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
This worked the first time, just doesn't seem to be working now. I have also given philzrecovery a go, to no avail.
Tried it all again this morning;
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
(and just for good measure),
fastboot erase cache...THEN
reboot bootloader...THEN
phone just goes to htc splash screen and hangs...also i try manually entering recovery through the vol.down/power buttons, with the same result
Also, i am not even trying to flash gapps right now, just get the phone back working. However i was pretty certain I was using the right version when i originally did flash gapps...
What if you reboot to recovery via command ?
Fastboot reboot recovery
Make sure you delete all recovery image files in the fastboot folder, download and copy a brand new one to the fastboot folder and rename the file to recovery.img
Then flash it

I tried flashing a theme using the same .zip of a rom for the One X so what I did was I deleted everything and kept the system and META-INF and now I get stuck at the HTC htc quietly brilliant..Luckily I have made a backup through recovery but whenever I go to recovery it just takes me back to the htc quietly brilliant screen. My computer recognizes the phone and everything and the fastboot commands. I tried reflashing recovery it says successfully but it didn't do anything, I still get stuck.

thanks for the help..installing htc sync fixed my problem
I have the International version of the One X and I tried to flash CM9 to it today. Everything was fine until I booted it up and it got stuck on the boot screen. Thought it wouldn't be a problem and I'd just try redoing the steps.. However, every time I select recovery from the bootloader, it restarts my phone. If I then hold the power button, it will turn off and then restart without me telling it too. The only way I can switch it off is by quickly booting into the bootloader and selecting 'Power Down'. Any help or guidance would be appreciated!
Have you tried "fastboot erase cache" without the commas
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA venom premium
Yes. Didn't change anything. Still stuck on the bootscreen and restarts everytime I enter recovery. Just tried reflashing recovery too.
Could Installing the stock bootloader and starting again help? or will that make no difference?
Is there any way of completely clearing the system without using recovery?
Did you flash the boot.img in fastboot
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA venom premium
Yes, However I fixed the bootup problem by using the following:
1.) Wiped with fastboot rather than recovery:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
2.) Re-flash recovery (fixed booting into recovery (ONLY when fastboot wipe is done)):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3.) Re-flash boot kernel:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4.) Flash ROM and GApps using recovery
This worked fine BUT everytime I try and power down my phone it automatically restarts. This is incredibly annoying. The only way I can get it to turn off is to boot into fastboot and select power off. If my phone is plugged in it will still reboot after about 10 seconds which means I can't charge it unless it's on.
At least you got your main problem sorted

Now I remember. Problem is with touch recovery. Only install 5.8.4.0.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Installed Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0. Phone still reboots when switched off and cannot boot into recovery mode.
Boots up fine so it mostly isn't an issue but I was hoping to do a nandroid backup via recovery which is looking unlikely.
When i flashed cm9 for the first time, i got the same issue, i was stuck at boot screen...but at least i could boot into recovery, and from there, i used android revolution hd superwipe script, and then did the flashing process again...worked fine after that. So my main point is, if u can boot into recovery, from there you need to do a wipe script or wipe data/factory reset and THEN flash cm9...

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?

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.

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.

Hi All,
I've just tried to root my htc one x (international). using the All in one toolkit V3.0 [7-16-2013
I went through step 1 to 5 (unlock bootloader) with no problems. I perm rooted and flashed TWRP but now I'm stuck!
-On the bootloader screen, I select Hboot > recovery.
-It loads the 'teamwin' screen and I see all options (install wipe etc)
-Problem is that the touch screen stops working. When I hit the power button it just tells me to 'swipe to unlock' which doesn;t work either.
I searched for solutions online but cant find any. Anyone got suggestions? I hope I've provided sufficient information.
Thanks

Gentlemen, it worked! Thank you so much!!
Always good to hear that !
Hey Guys, has any of you got experience with installing roms through Philz?
Firsly I tried Cyanogenmod and although I got it to boot, it keeps crashing when I also install GAPPS (literraly unusable as I keep getting the error (unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped).
I therefore decided to give Viper a go, I cleared all cache/reset to factory reset. First I flashed the boot.img from viper through the all in kit ( I connect my phone to laptop in bootloader > Flash Custom rom). Then I reset into bootloader and boot philz .img so I can get back into philz < am I doing something wrong here? I cant think of another way to do it!
From Philz, I install the viper zip file. It starts up the wizard, but then halfway through installing it restarts the phone and all I see is the HTC one X loading screen.
I've now wiped it again and installed cyanogenmod without GAPPS for the time being, but I cant download apps as I dont have the playstore.
Any advise on how to fix either CM or Viper would be appreciated. Again, I did search but couldnt find any help on the combination of Philz and any of these 2 customer ROMS.
your help is much appreciated!!
Viper rom :
Flash the boot.img !
Inside recovery :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts&storage-format cache,data,system
Then install zip from sdcard and choose the viper x rom.zip
If the installer stops halfway it could be a bad rom.zip download !

Thanks Hofs. When I flash the boot.img from the viper download package, it doesn't seem to bring me into any kind of recovery screen? Am I missing something?
Flashing the boot.img is done with the phone in the bootloader.
Try this :
Put the phone in the bootloader, copy the boot.img to the folder on the pc that contains the fastboot.exe file !
Then hold down shift and click the right mouse button while pointing in the folder with the fastboot.exe file.
Then select :
Open command window here
Then type there :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (enter)
Fastboot erase cache (enter)
Then enter the recovery and do all steps i posted earlier
Right.. I think I'm missing one vital piece here
copy the boot.img to the folder on the pc that contains the fastboot.exe file

I don't have such a folder? Should I install the fastboot application first? Any chance you can give me a high level overview of how to use it? So far I've done everything using Philz and the All in one toolkit for the one X..

The all in one toolkit must have a folder with the fastboot file otherwise it can't work. Look inside those subfolders and do all steps i wrote from there

I encountered this issue as well. I'm almost certain that when you were flashing recovery, you used this command "fastboot flash boot recovery.img".
The right command should be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
To rectify the issue look for a tread that has the boot.img for your specific M8 model and flash boot back using " fastboot flash boot boot.img".
This should fix the issue you are having

I followed the instructions on the TWRP site:
Download the above file. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.img
Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43
Then reboot to complete installation.
But that left me in a TWRP bootloop. Can you please give me step by step instructions on how to get out of this bootloop?
Thanks!
First off, being a noob and using dd without even knowing what partiton you're writing to is extremely dangerous.
Just use fastboot.
plug phone into PC in fastboot mode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrpfilename.img
fastboot erase cache
on phone go back to hboot, select, recovery
In TWRP go to wipe, then swipe for a factory reset (Advanced wipe cannot properly wipe cache and dalvik after fastboot erase cache)
then go to advanced, select cache, dalvik and system and swipe to wipe those partitions.
then go to install, select the rom on your phone and flash. follow on screen instructions.
If you don't have the rom on your phone for whatever reason,
connect your phone, while in TWRP to your PC then, using adb on your PC
Code:
adb push romfilename.zip /sdcard/
Wait until it completes with bytes sent.
Then flash using method listed above.
Be careful if you want to keep your phone. I stress this, if you don't know what a command you are issuing does, exactly, DO NOT DO IT until you look it up and understand what you are doing. There is great risk even when you know what you're doing. There's a LOT more when you don't.

Update: I ended up just installing the Viper ROM and the system rebooted fine. It's strange that I couldn't reboot the device to get out of recovery without having to install a custom ROM.

No it's not. You flashed recovery to the boot partition.

You need cwm recovery to factory reset from cm roms.
Also you need to be in FASTBOOT mode for it to detect your device.
Boot to fastboot, erase cache, reinstall twrp.
Next time reset/wipe from recovery.
