Hi,
It goes to show that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!!!
I flashed my phone with Team Viper 2.6 (I think) and all was working fine ubtil I tried another Rom, can't remember which one and the phone will not boot past the HTC white screen.
After many hours of being unsuccessful, I sent the phone back to HTC for repair and after a few days they said that the mainboard needed replacing for almost £200 !!! So i decided against that and got the phone back.
I can get into HBoot and Fasboot USB, also can get into TWRP, so tried to reload Team Viper, as that is the only backup I had. It went through the installation process OK, but still won't get past the flash screen.
Here are some details of the phone:

Sorry for the detailed post, but I wanted provide as much info as possible.

I feel the that phone is not "bricked" but maybe I'm wrong.
Your help and expertise would be so much appreciated for this noobie!!:fingers-crossed:

You probably just need to flash the boot.img from the rom zip...extract it to your fastboot folder and then execute " fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then "fastboot erase cache" using cmd (command prompt) and then reboot

Thanks for the reply, but where would I get the boot.img from?
Would that be from the Team Viper ROM, or do I download from elsewhere?
Look in the flashable zip. Simply extract the boot.img from the zip:thumbup:

U have a backup of viper rom right? And twrp recovery? So there is a boot.emmc.win file in twrp folder on your sd card.. Flash this boot file from fastboot( b4 or after restoring the backup)

You will find it in the rom zip file or you can download the viper kernel from the rom's thread..either of them will work for you.. good luck mate

Thanks to all you guys for your help, but did as you suggested and still no further forward.
Is there a ROM that will return my phone to stock complete with kernel, boot.img etc, that will re-install everything, wike a Windows re-installation. Or am I asking too much here?
I am losing faith in this and I can see it being dumped in the trash before long.
Flash this recovery
http://db.tt/SPXdFfPw
Rename it to recovery.img and flash it :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then flash the boot.img from the viper x 3.7.5 (open the rom.zip with 7zip and copy the file)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then go into recovery and wipe all :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Mounts & storage - format cache,data,system
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Then install the viper x rom.zip and follow instructions.
When you get a question about a kernel....choose viper x delivered !
Done

Many thanks for your detailed and simple instructions.
Howerver, I am having trouble finding the Viper X 3.7.5 ROM, could you post a link for download?
Again, many many thanks:fingers-crossed:

Mr Hofs, many thanks for the links. I downloaded 3.7.4 and the update 3.7.5.
That was the good bit......I tried to push the ROM using adb in command mode, but I couldn't get it to recognise the phone.
I thought I maybe able to drop the files onto the sd card via Windows, but althought the phone is recognised in Device Manager, it doesn't show up in Windows Explore.
I am sorry that all your help and advice has been wasted, maybe it will help others whose phone isn't as sick as mine.
I may have another go tomorrow, but it's looking like it's headed for that great waste bin in the sky.:crying:
If you want to copy the rom to the phone you go into the recovery and then to
Mounts & storage - mount as mass storage (last option in that list)
Its now a usb diskdrive and windows will recognize it (if its not, wait long enough like a minute or so. It can take a while)
Then copy the stuff you need.
Mr Hofs, Many thanks for your help.
I downloaded 3.7.4 and update 3.7.5 and tried adb push and sideload but my device wasn't recognised, although W8 could see it in Device Manager.
I will give it one more go today and if that doesn't work, it's that great trash bin in the skt.
Again many thanks for your help.:crying:
Like i said you don't need to sideload or adb anything, just do as above and you can copy it normally

Mr Hofs,
Just one last question.... is there a way to get back to the Viper default settings, colours etc, without re-installing the ROM?
What do you mean exactly with colours and stuff, did you flash a theme ?

Yes I did ! I used your dark and yellow theme, but the trouble is now that I can't read texts and the normal (HTC) settings are all in yellow and very difficult to read.
Should I do a complete install of Viper again?
Lol did you picked the yellow theme on the skin picker ?
Hello;
I turned my One X on after about a month of not using (got a nexus 5). I'm giving it to my dad.
It just boot loops, I have 20.6 SD rom with his stock kernal. I've wiped cache, factory reset, dalvik. Wiped via fastboot and reinstalled the kernal.
I DONT have the rom files on the SD Card any more and i get an error when I try to mount storage from CWM.
Any ideas It would be greatly appreciated as it's about time my dad got rid of his standard phone.

post the result from command fastboot getvar all
The other thing is to instal Philz recovery and in recovery to mount the SD card. Copy your rom to SD card, flash boot.img, flash rom.

Ok Lock your bootloader if you unlocked him, in bootloader you must see LOCKED or RELOCKED this is importand.
Download this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_1.29.771.11 and install update to latest JB 4.2.2
or you can download Philz recovery and use the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Report back
EDIT: if the first RUU not working you can try with this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_H3G_UK_2.17.771.3
EDIT2: Strange you have too high hboot version for your main version

Start the phone in bootloader and choice recovery inside you have option to mount SD car choise mount sd Card and connect the phone to computer wait 3-5 minutes and you will see the sd card ion your computer copy the rom of your choice and install the rom dont forget to flash the boot.img. I give you the RUU to go back to stock this is your other option.

Dont forget you have to wait a bit on phillz recovery (possibly twrp also) to mount the sd. Should take about a minute which is normal

I tried to update my HTC One X from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 by OTA. The phone would download the entire update (around 370 MB), then try to install it, but couldn't. This happened several times. Then I downloaded the OTA update zip file and copied it to my phone memory. But now, it wouldn't go into recovery mode (after pressing volume down and power and navigating to recovery). When I press on recovery, it would go to a black screen, showing a phone with an exclamatory sign over it. After some time (maybe 1 or 2 minutes) it would reboot to normal mode with 4.0.4.
So, I think the problem is my phone cannot simply enter recovery mode. Is there any way to install the update by commands through PC?
I'm not really a fan of custom ROMs. Only the stock ROM of JB 4.1.1 will do.
Thanks!
Try resetting your phone from the hboot. (You'll lose all data including apps and sdcard. So backup first)
Then try ota again.

You mean factory reset? Did that. No improvement. Also I ran the RUU for stock ROM of ICS 4.0.4. Had to do that to unbrick it (long story, was trying to flash custom ROM. Was facing the same problem, couldn't enter recovery option). But still, same story, downloads update for 2 hours, then goes back to 4.0.4. I'm in deep **** man!

I did, but again relocked to go to stock ROM to unbrick via RUU. I can unlock it again and I would appreciate if you tell me how to update to 4.2.2. But I'm afraid the process won't work if it involves going into recovery mode in the phone.

Like I said earlier, when I go to bootloader (by holding volume down and power) and then select recovery from the options, a black screen comes with an android photo in the middle, with an exclamatory sign above it. After a couple of minutes, the screen disappears and the phone is restarted. That's what happens every time, I don't know why.

That's not a problem. What you're seeing is the Stock Recovery from HTC. As far as I know, you can't flash stuff from HTC's recovery.
Give me the output of 'fastboot getvar all'
And also while pasting the output, hide your IMEI and Serial No. it may be used for bad purposes by bad people.

Cool dude! You have a s-off deivce!
Anyway, Backup ALL (Apps, contacts, sdcard) data before you start with the following steps -
1. Keep your bootloader LOCKED.
2. Download this firmware and place it in your fastboot folder. Also download the stock ROM and place it on your device.
3. reboot your phone into fastboot mode
4. Through cmd - fastboot oem rebootRUU
5.You'll have a black screen on the device
6. Just to be sure, flash the firmware zip twice while in RUU mode. (fastboot flash zip firmware.zip)
7. Now go back to fastboot mode ( Power and volume combo)
8. Unlock your bootloader ( please refer HTCDev for instructions)
9. Flash this recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
10. Extract the boot.img from the Stock ROM zip and flash it through fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
11. Go into the recovery. Do a Factory Reset.
12. locate the stock rom and flash it. (if it was erased while unlocking the bootloader, place it again)
13. now reboot
14. If all goes well, you'll boot into stock 4.2.2!
15. if you want to receive further OTA updates (if any)from hTC , flash this recovery.
Hope I helped! Feel free to ask any doubt you have!

6. Just to be sure, flash the firmware zip twice while in RUU mode. (fastboot flash zip firmware.zip)
7. Now go back to fastboot mode ( Power and volume combo)
8. Unlock your bootloader ( please refer HTCDev for instructions)
9. Flash this recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
10. Extract the boot.img from the Stock ROM zip and flash it through fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
11. Go into the recovery. Do a Factory Reset.
12. locate the stock rom and flash it. (if it was erased while unlocking the bootloader, place it again)
13. now reboot
14. If all goes well, you'll boot into stock 4.2.2!
15. if you want to receive further OTA updates (if any)from hTC , flash this recovery.
Hope I helped! Feel free to ask any doubt you have!

You are freaking awesome dude! I love you!!!!!!!! :laugh:
can anyone help me out here. I was trying to root my HTC one X. I have unlocked the bootloader. I ran a script to root the device but now it is stuck on HTC quietly brilliant. I can vol down and power to get into the boot menu but cannot get into the normal OS
I assume you did not make a nandroid backup ?
sorry. All I have done so far is unlock the boot menu. I ran a script which has the following
fastboot-windows.exe flash boot boot.insecure.img
fastboot-windows.exe reboot
adb-windows.exe kill-server
adb-windows.exe wait-for-device
adb-windows.exe remount
adb-windows.exe push system /system
adb-windows.exe shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
it reboots my phone and its stuck. I can get back into the vol down power button menu. I don't think it got rooted
So you have a custom recovery ?
Edit :
The easiest way is to go with a custom rom which is rooted already

I bought this second hand. It was Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5. I have nothing on me. I am trying to understand what I have done. Have I lost the original OS. Is there anyway back? See below for more details. Really appreciate your help here. I am kicking myself for even dabbling.

Oke i suggest you check for a rom that you would like to run and download the rom. After that you do this :
Download this recovery and rename it to recovery.img
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Flash it :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then flash the boot.img from the rom.zip (it's inside, take it out via 7zip. Open the archive and copy the boot.img)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and mount the sdcard in the mount and storage menu, copy the rom.zip.
Make a full wipe :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts&storage-format cache, data, system
Then install the rom.zip and reboot
all I can do it vol down and power on. I get a menu saying unlocked at the top and s-on. I can do into fastboot and then run some commands from the laptop like the one above

ok Mr Hof. The rom is the operating system isn't it. I just want to put the same one on that I had. So I will look for HTC one X 4.22 rom and then follow your instructions.
If you want the exact same rom you have to restore a new nandroid backup if it's available. That's a bit more technical than a new custom rom. Custom roms also come in stock versions i will edit some links in here in a few minutes.
Edit 1 :
This is a stock like rom which can be installed the way i described in the post above

Make sure you get the one x version and not the ONE version. Sometimes people read it wrong and trying to install the wrong rom to the device !
I checked the nandroid backup collection but the version that was originally on your phone is not available, so a custom rom is the only way for now to get it back up.

I was on GPE and I tried to switch to viperone Rom. Long story short, after flashing the firmware I got on a bootloop and I cant even access that white background page where you can fastboot & Hboot....I can only hold the volume up and power button get to this "Android system recovery" which gives me a few options:
Reboot System Now
Apply from SD card
Apply from Phone storage
Apply from Cache
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I cant seem to adb or fastboot from my computer while doing this. Help.

well your story is pretty incomplete ... how did you end up with stock recovery ? What firmware did you flash ?
Flashing viper rom won't return you to stock recovery
To get to the normal bootloader from the above screen choose reboot System now and hold Volume Down as soon as the screen goes off
I flashed 1.54.401.5-W_splash.zip
Also your instructions worked! Any idea how I can fix this now?

well with the stock recovery your back to step one
is your bootloader still unlocked ? If yes flash custom recovery (TWRP) and Flash a Rom that matches the firmware your on
If your bootloader is relocked may as well update to the latest firmware the unlock and flash TWRP / Rom
Theirs also this RUU you can use
RUU_3.28.401.6_M8_WWE_Stock.exe

You can't use TWRP 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 when your hboot is lower than 3.19.0000
You should run RUU 4.16.401.10 first then only flash TWRP.
No point to flash TWRP at current stage.

Relock bootloader only for S-On
S-Off no need to do that
You may need to change your MID to EU one if that RUU zip fails.

Do you really want to convert everything to EU version instead of original Canada version ?
How to change MID to EU in your case :
1. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
2. Boot to recovery
3. Run these command
adb shell
then copy & paste this command
Code:
echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384
then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. flash that RUU zip after put your device in RUU mode
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Wait ... you have a Mac, need to find correct fastboot file for your Mac version

It is easier for Canada version, you just need to flash the TWRP either 2.8.1.0 or 2.8.3.0 then transfer the nandroid backup and restore then do OTA to the latest.
The only thing is do you remember which Canada version is yours ? ROGERS, BELL, TELUS or GLOBAL or SASKT ?
