Device not booting after first ROM flash

Hi guys, I am very new to this community and this is my first post. So this is what happened:
I had my One X for about 4 months now, and I was starting to want something new so I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader everything went just fine. So I realized root isn't the only big thing you can do to tweak your device so I wanted to flash a custom ROM. I wanted to customize it so I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611349 to customize CMOD 10 based on Jelly Bean and flash it to my device. So I finished my custom ROM and wanted to flash it to my device. So I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 (post 2 only (of course)).
At first when I tried to flash my custom ROM I didn't make any backup because I had Titanium backup and I thought that it does the same thing as recovery backup (now I know it doesn't) so I don't have the stock ROM on backup. I was disappointed that the device won't boot, it only shows the boot screen "HTC quietly brilliant". And then I saw boot.img I didn't knew what to do with it so I read about it and found out that I need to flash the boot.img before I flash the ROM. So I deleted everything again and done it all over again, but I flashed boot.img that came with the CM 10 first and then flashed the ROM itself. I've done everything correctly and my device still won't boot. It's over 20 minutes and still showing the "HTC quietly brilliant" like before the boot.img.
What should I do and very much thanks for the helpers I don't want to lose my device. :crying:
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is my first android device.

Clean install? Try to clear cache in recovery.
Boot to bootloader (voldown and power). On the top you should see hboot version. What is it?
Also, does fastboot say OKAY when boot.img is flashed?

Already tried it. And this is CM10 I downloaded it from their github can't be broken.
THX for the replay BTW.

HBOOT version is: 1.39.0000
And yes it does say OKAY when boot.img is flashed.
And I already tried clean install a lot.

Okay matey, here's your problem:
You need a special boot.img for your newer hboot version. Check post # 9308 in CM10 thread for link.
Unfortunately GPS doesn't work with this boot.img.

LOL, just click the thanks button.
Gps will be fixed when slow-ass HTC releases the JB kernel source code. Until then, you can use Trip's CM10 or IceColdJelly 4.2.1 for working GPS.

It's not working... I clean installed my customized CM10 ROM and then the boot.img you gave me. (I tried vice versa too). It's booting and then restarting to recovery mode.

Probably something went wrong when you customized it. What exactly did you do? Why not just download it as it is?
And when you talked about github.... you mean you built it from source?

I did built it form source. I got in a folder 3 files: 2 folders: system and META-INF 3rd file is boot.img.
I probably don't know what to put in update.zip (what folders) would you tell me?
I customized some colors, battery skin on the status bar and fonts. I also customized build.prop and added adrenaline script so I got another folder named "data".
could you tell me how to pack it all to update.zip? I guess my problem is that.
P.S. I also sign it after packing it to update.zip with auto-signer using java.
THX in advance!

Here's one idea: Download the pre built zip of the rom and use it as a template. Replace all the folders inside with your own, custom ones.

I tried it this is the result... Don't you have an experience with ROM building?

Not sure if you understood correctly.
I meant you should dl the rom from get.cm and then replace the files with the ones you built and modified.
If this is exactly what you did, then I'm out of ideas.
I, in fact, haven't built a rom from source in my life.

I haven't built it from source. I downloaded the base CM10 mod and edited it's files and compressed and flashed to my device. But I am checking another option.

Why not flash the rom as it is and put your own stuff to system afterwards with adb or an file explorer ?

[MOD] Enable Native Tethering without limits

The following Mod will unlock all APNs for editing, and allow you to tether using the Stock Built-in tethering:
For this to work, you must be rooted, and have busybox installed.
This is confirmed working on T-Mo software version 1.12.531.19 It may work for others, but they should probably have their own Settings.apk mod done to avoid issues.
People were having problems installing this via ADB, so I have made a flashable zip to simplify the process:
Step 1:
Flash this via recovery: http://www.cheatersedge.org/android/m8/TetherZip.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2:
Once your phone has rebooted, go into Settings -> Mobile Data -> Access point names.
Select the one for "T-Mobile Data" Which should now be editable.
Scroll down, and change the APN protocol from IPv6 to IPv4.
Select Menu and hit "Save"

OLD Instructions:
Step 1:

How would you go about getting this to work on a deodexed ROM? I just attempted the walkthrough with ARHD 3.4 and it didn't work, my APN settings are still locked

ARHD probably has a different Settings.apk. The APN unlocking magic is in my modded Settings.apk. I have patched it to simply ignore the "readonly" value in telephony.db.

I'm assuming you'll still have to use a VPN to encrypt your HTTP headers, or spoof your useragent to show up as a mobile device. Otherwise, T-Mobile will mark unencrypted traffic as tethering anyway. I would love to be wrong on this one, but I don't think it's _that_ simple otherwise.
Also, I find the replacing and modifying of files to be easier in Recovery than when booted into the system. System has some annoying write protection to deal with.

User agent spoofing is still required. Particularly if you are trying to use IE. Just spoof the same Desktop UA string that mobile chrome spoofs, and you are all set.
You can also change the protocol by doing:
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
update carriers set protocol='IPV4V6' where protocol = 'IPV4';

What is the best way to install Busybox so I can get this working? I get crashes/reboots/errors when trying to install busybox.
I assume that because the system is read-only.

You'll need root. Grab the busybox installer from the google play store, it's the easiest way

I tried this and it isn't working for some reason. As far as I can tell all commands worked, but the APN is still locked. Running the same software version as the OP. Rooted/Busybox are installed.

Wait... did you install this from recovery? If you run those commands from recovery you need to mount system first.
(Advanced -> mounts)
That file should not have been there.

No, that is fine, it should have worked then. Verify that Settings.apk contains a classes.dex, and delete the Settings.odex file.

Possible Root Method for 5.1.1, Need Help..

Ok, so I have been looking into some of the SuperSU.zip files and sound that there are a few that actually dont make the phone go into boot loop. I double checked the system/xbin and su is installed as well as busybox. Then When I replace a 64 bit su file into Superuser 2.19, supersu app keeps telling me to update the binaries. Thats where Im stuck. So to recap.
I used the root method from CF-autoroot.
Once it failed I pulled the battery and flashed SuperSU-v2.19zip..
Now I get the binary update notification...
If I can just get some help from anyone that knows what they are doing that would be awesome..
Here is the Modded zip.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6opNIGQWcVYT1JRMmtrNFUtbE0/view?usp=sharing
BTW: I got the 64 su file from root junky...

I know you've tried a lot more than posted here, not sure if all attempts but did you try CWM recovery in any of the superuser flashes?
I think the su binary is dependent on the application. SuperSU is telling you update the binary and going no further?
TWRP and SuperSU are bound to Google's interactive shell limitations to remain in Google Play. They may not be the most capable sources to deal with latest Samsung increased security. Those may be reasons older applications targeted to lollipop are working better than latest.

I have tried that... the earlier builds flash without bootloop.. v2.16-2.19, newer builds, v2.30 on up, send it to bootloop.. i just felt i was getting closer with the modded su and the notification.
Ive been at it for like 2 weeks.. lol..

So beta 2.49 SuperSU fails also? Have you tried its su binary with those earlier builds targeted at lollipop? Maybe there was a reason for beta; can't be released in Play, no terms would apply to it. Wishful thinking?
None of the su binaries work?
Regards,
Edit: by definition, the terms indicated how interactive shell interacts with SEAndroid or SELinux. Maybe the /system/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so and /system/lib/libselinux.so need to be swapped with the first Lollipop tar that dropped? OB7 for Sprint Note 4.
Edit 2: if using custom kernel, don't need liboemcrypto.so

The OP says he can flash mods. I'm assuming here and you know the consequences of such, but thought it also possible to mount system and use the TWRP file manager to edit system.
I'm still OB7 but following with interest regarding the root of OG5 and recovery methods.
Edit: If L Speed Mod flashes successfully, default mode should give more freedom if using ADB and it doesn't need root. I think it's all shell scripts. (ADB Insecure required for booted mode adb access.)

Ill look into it flashing l speed mods.. maybe that can be a door... I know that Selinux and fix permissions can be applied via TWRP. SU binaries are applied.. they were in the system folders. So su is where its supposed to be. Busybox is where its supposed to be, 2.49 does not work just older builds. Its all a matter of figuring out how to update binaries??

I'm out of ideas. Maybe the kernel devs will figure it out when source drops. Everything seems to be pointing that direction due to S6 exploit required.
Did L Speed Mod do anything to help with adb access or adb shell? I have to use ADB Insecure to use adb in booted mode with stock OB7 kernel; initial lollipop release. I was hoping that would help TW 5.1.1 as well.
Did you get the init.d test to pass? Here's a good tutorial; I think it's the developer's tut.

You're welcome. Just try the default settings once you know init.d works. Maybe you won't need root since you can flash scripts.
Hang in there. I don't think it will long. It would sure be nice if all carriers got a developer edition. I'm all for security but not at the price of losing root. I still prefer the stock kernel. Now I may be looking for a near stock kernel again.

Yes, working on that. But the flash needs no kernel update (it modifies /init.rc to inject init.d support into stock or other roms missing init.d support).
It's up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65864177&postcount=8
For kernels, I will use the same basic model, inject the kernel and any necessary init.rc support into the existing boot.img, not require a complete boot.img load. I also dislike modifying start scripts in /system/etc to try to inject init.d support because /init.rc can do it much easier and more controllably.
You are welcome to look at the flash in the above post to see how the tools in the "tools" directory perform boot.img extraction, explosion, fixup, then repack if that's not familiar. Only diff with a kernel is to replace the zImage with the custom kernel in the repack command. Makes the flash much smaller since I don't have to carry the ramdisk just for a kernel update.

Are you rooted? Please attach the file at /data/local/tmp/tdh-hotspot.log so i can see what it is doing. On your phone.
Here is what my OTA had after flashing the mod -- hotspot is there.

Yes, i am rooted

Ok, thinking the db update might be too late in the boot process for the settings app to pick it up.
Can you reboot and resend that log file and also check settings again?

Hello, I have a common problem with my devise being not the only one connected to PC/emulated.
"Error: more than one device/emulator" - I have an additional offline emulator and i cant track what created it.
I was able to correct this issue by adding
adb -s (dev. serial) wait-for-devices
adb -s (dev. serial) reboot bootloader
(or "-d" if there is only one physical device)
In .bat files in similar programs, but this package is a bit too complicated for me and i am not sure how and where to correct this. Any advice?

i write the script using new adb platform 1.035. The script will still running on the background even you close the window. You need to choose menu EXIT when you done.
For me v1.035 more better than v1.032.
Every menu already test and work very well

Thank you very much.
Can't wait for next version which is with Xposed Module.
As of now i am having problem to install the Xposed Module in this firmware WW 2.22.40.540.
The "Install / Update" is grey out and there is few red sentences on top of the button.
