Hi, if you can help me unbrick my phone I'll buy you a beer (or three!)
I have an htc one x which i managed to unlock the bootloader via htcdev as in various tutorials....
I was too lazy to take a backup
I then tried to install cyanogenmod 10 using cwm recovery.... (by flashing a zip file i had downloaded - one of the nightly builds)
I wiped the cache etc in cwm
it got stuck in a boot loop i think as it got to the spinning cyanogen logo then nothing happened...
I've tried to get it working again using lots of different methods - i downloaded some RUU exes which failed because they said they weren't the correct ROM (even though they should be right) - then i read a tutorial about how to use fastboot to flash system.img onto the phone but it fails giving error code 00000006
I can't push any zip files to the phone using ADB as I get permission denied errors
I've also tried to use fastboot to flash various recoveries but I can't apply any zips because I can't get them onto the phone in the first place
I've also flashed various recovery.img files but when they load, I get a red triangle after a few seconds
If someone could tell me how to use ADB to push a zip file to the phone I'd be really grateful - have tried everything but keep getting permission denied errors
Thanks
(oh and if you manage to help me fix it I WILL buy you a beer... or 3)
oh and ....
ALSO I've googled the problem and tried all of the options I can find which could help - please don't just send me a link to a page because i can guarantee I've probably already tried the solution and failed. When I boot into recovery, I can't use adb push to send files to the phone because it says it's not connected even if i try the option for mount data, or mount storage - the only time windows seems to manage to aknowledge it's existence is on the fastboot screen -

Have you flashed the cm boot IMG and then erased fastboot cache?
fastboot flash boot pathtoboot.IMG
fastboot erase cache
For the RUU to work you need to have stock recovery and a relocked boot loader.
if you download the latest clockworkmod mounting as USB storage is fixed.

thanks!
wow that was a quick reply - yes I've flashed the cm boot img and erased the cache - which version of CWM is the latest? - When you say mounting as USB storage is fixed, do you mean that windows will be able to see the device and write files to it?
(I'm really sorry for asking these questions - the problem is that I know a BIT about how android works but not as much as I should do)

Are you absolutely sure you flashed the boot.img from the rom.zip using fastboot on your computer? Because it really sounds like you didn't
This is a thread I made and it should provide you with a solution if not a starting point if you insist on CM10.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900127
Good luck!
sorry hope i'm not wasting your time!
I ran the command as follows :-
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
(I got the img file from the ruu )
I'm not 100% sure if it worked, but at that stage I didn't see any errors

CWM 5.8.4.0 has the USB mounting fixed. You can go to mounts and storage and mount as USB, then the PC will see it.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
I'm pretty sure you either didn't flash the boot.img or flashed the wrong one, so get it again to make sure it's the right one and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And
fastboot erase cache
thanks!
I'll give it a go - to be honest i don't insist on using cm10 at all - i just wanted to see what jellbean was like and it seemed like a reasonable way of achieving that.... i'd be quite happy with any decent rom if it can fix the lag problems i have and some of the other issues.....
great tutorial by the way! - once my phone has charged up again I'll try it

I use CM10 myself at the moment because of the aesthetics, but because of the amount of ram and battery it uses I wish I had stuck with ARHD.
Come October we should see Jellybean ARHD which will have great features like USB OTG without a powered hub.

Mount as USB not working on that version, also charging not working either. It was not a great release in terms.of features, but it was updated quickly, that's quite an.old version now.
Do you know which tutorial you followed? It really needs updating, there are a lot of people on this old version struggling more than they need to.
Right, first you're going to flash a recovery which allows you to mount USB storage. Either cwm or TWRP, download the recovery.img and flash through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery rocoveryname.img.
Download a new rom and extract the boot.img from it. Flash that boot.img using the usual fastboot method.
Now boot into the new recovery, connect to your pc and mount USB storage from the option in recovery. Copy over the rom you downloaded. Unmount USB storage. Now do a full wipe through the menu in recovery - format /data, /system and /cache. Now flash the rom and reboot
Hi guys,
Need urgent assistance as I'm having a weird problem.
So I installed Viper (latest update) and everything was working fine...added numerous tweaks (statusbar, icons, etc)
Now I installed the latest version of Strobe, jotha's APM mod and SenseCream (in that order) but my phone won't start!
I can access the boot screen but it gets stuck on black screen after the modified boot screen (which worked before I installed these themes too btw)
I can still access recovery and bootloader but I can't start the phone - I'd also appreciate assistance in uninstalling these themes as they seem to be the culprit (if I can get them working, all the better ofcourse)
Any suggestions?
p.s. I have the international HTC One X with 3.14.401.31 (I believe) base
Did you flash the boot.img ?
Try to full wipe again in recovery then flash the boot.img then install the full rom. After installing, boot the phone. DO NOT flash those two add ons right away after the rom.
That also happens to me a while ago.
Hope that helps

I'll do the full wipe now...where do I find the boot.img though?
also how do I access usb to copy the full rom into the sdcard? i can't seem to access it
It's in the ROM zip . extract it and flash it through fastboot . fastboot flash boot boot.img .
If you do a full wipe, the full rom (the zip file viper rom) will remain in your virtual sd card.
First, on your computer where you save the downloaded zip file of viper rom, extract it then copy the boot.img you found inside, then place it on your fastboot files.
Next, go into your bootloader by pressing power button and volume down for about 10-15secs
In the bootloader, choose the fastboot by clicking the power botton, navigate using the volume keys.
Then connect your usb. Open a command prompt to your computer then navigate to your fastboot files. After that, flash "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Then "fastboot erase cache"
Then go to recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik. Finally, flash the zip file (viper rom)
make a full wipe: data, cache partition, and dalvik,

where did you place the rom when you copied it from your computer? It should still be there unless you deleted it.

I probably deleted it as I installed the viper rom a long time ago...I have a copy on my laptop but I doubt I have one in the sdcard as well
Is there any way to transfer it from my laptop to the sdcard? perhaps via fastboot?
Oke, mount the sdcard in the recovery as a usb mass storage and copy the rom.zip from sdcard\O\ back to sdcard\
Then just reflash the rom.zip with only a dalvik cache and cache wipe.....always do a nandroid backup before flashing themes or mods
And after flashing a mod or theme you don't have to flash the boot.img if it goes wrong ....only the rom.zip. the theme probably broke the framework of the rom so it fails to boot properly

Ok so i got confused. I thought that you just recently installed the viper rom and not so long ago. The latest jellybean version is 3.3.2, which is what im using right now.
I've never tried flashing a full rom using fastboot command so i think a more experienced user could answer your question.
Try to access mount/storage from your recovery if you could possibly transfer data from your laptop.:thumbup:

I have the latest viper rom as well (updated via OTA)
Also I'm not trying to flash the rom via fastboot (doubt its possible)...but I do need a way to copy the rom to my sdcard somehow...I have no idea how though
mount/storage isn't working I'm afraid
Yes there is no other option the framework changed for the last viper update so I think the theme is not updated yet with the proper framework
Flash this recovery , you are on a old cwm recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
So flash the recovery, mount as mass storage and copy the rom zip, install the rom.zip and choose wipe dalvik cache and cache only !!! Then boot the phone. Then use es file explorer and set it with root functions in the settings of es file explorer ....then navigate to system/data and delete the theme.apk files you want to delete, reboot again and its gone

dude!!! I freaking love you!! haha
seriously thanks mate! I can mount USB now...so I'll copy over the viper rom and re-install the whole thing (without wiping data hopefully)
cheers!!
ok so I have finally managed to install viper rom (now doing system updates as the copy on my laptop is an old one)
so far I can't figure out how to remove the 2 themes I flashed on the phone though...strobe I "think" I found via system folder but I have no idea where the other 2 items are (SenseCream and apm mod) - any clues?
Quite a few of my apps are crashing at boot as well but I imagine this should be resolved once I've completed all the system updates
Appreciate everyone who's helped so far...thanks!!
Let us know if its all okey after all ! So either TT or me can close the thread properly

First of all, I want to tell that I am a beginner and do not know much about rooting and custom ROM installation.
Few days back, I became very keen to know what is custom ROM and is there any custom ROM available for my HTC One X. I searched through internet and found one, downloaded it. Rooted my phone, Unlocked bootloader. After that I installed CWM touch recovery. Everything was going great. Then, I first flashed the kernel given along with that custom ROM. it Flashed. Then, I flashed that Custom ROM. I Showed an error. I flashed it twice or thrice but it stucked on that error. Also in a Hurry, or Excitement, I forgot to take a backup of my previous ROM. After that, I switched on my phone it does nothing and stucked at HTC Bootscreen. I factory reset my phone, it wiped all data from phone. I Thought, a RUU would work, but it also doesn't worked.
I went to HTC Service Center, they are saying that motherboard will be replaced, which is almost of same cost of phone. I cannot spend so much.
I tried so many ways, but nothing worked.
So, I am Finally here seeking help from Experts. Any help will be highly appreciable.
Sorry for my bad English.

What rom were you trying to flash ?
If its a kitkat ROM you can't use cwm recovery to flash that rom.. you either use philz recovery given by mr hofs or latest twrp recovery from the twrp thread or indexed listing thread..

sorry for this stupid question. But how to use ADB Sideload..??
Just mount the sdcard in the mounts and storage menu ! No need for adb sideload
And don't just install the rom, you must perform a full wipe before that !
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik cache
Format system
Format data
Format cache
Then install the rom !

If that doesn't work try this , this is what I did when I bricked my HTC One X:
1. Download Fastboot
2. Download adb
3. Download cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=endeavoru)
(I used this one , it's justs so you get your SD Card Working again and you can
put ROMS and everything on it again)
4. Download openrecovery-twrp-2.4.0.0-endeavoru-JB (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/endeavoru)
(This one will be used because it has touch ability's and you can install ROMS with it )
4.1 Or you can download recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-endeavoru.img (a.k.a Philz recovery)
(This one will be used because it has touch ability's and you can install ROMS with it )
( I used Philz recovery 5.15.9.img (provided by Mr Hofs -> who is a great guy btw)
5. Download openrecovery-twrp-endeavoru-2.1.7 (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/endeavoru
(This one will be used for adb push commands, openrecovery-twrp-endeavoru-2.1.7 has a built
in ability for your sd-Card , adb can recoginze it but the problem is your touch will not work.)
6. Go into bootloader -> fastboot and do this:
6.1 fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-endeavoru-2.1.7.img
7. Go into recovery (Hboot -> recovery)
7.1 just open the recovery, your touch will probably not work. DONT LOCK IT JUST LEAVE IT OPEN
(ADB sideload didn't work for me so that's why we are going to do this)
IF YOUR TOUCH WORKS YOU CAN SKIP STEP 8
7.2 do this command: adb devices
If you don't find your devices in this then the next steps will not work.
YOU HAVE TO SEE YOUR DEVICE
7.3 do this command: adb push cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip /sdcard/
You can only do cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip if the zip file is located in the same folder your using
with command. I'm not sure about /sdcard/ . I cant remember anymore But this will put the
but this will put the zip Directly on your SDcard.
8. Go to bootloader -> fastboot
8.1 do this command: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.0.0-endeavoru-JB.img
8.2 or do this command: fastboot flash recovery Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Your touch wasn't working but it will work now.
9. Go to booloader -> fastboot
9.1 extract the boot.img from the Download cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip into the fastboot folder
9.2 do this command fastboot flash boot boot.img
9.3 fastboot erase cache
10. Go back to recovery
10.1 Wipe User Data
10.2 Wipe data cache
10.3 Go to advanced -> wipe Dalvik Cache
11. Install zip from sdcard
11.1 Choose cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.img
11.2 Install the zip WITH full wipe
12. After the install, reboot. You should have a full functional HTC ONE X now
13. Now but your ROM's(ZIP FILES)/Recovery(ZIP FILES)/Kernels and everything you want on your HTC because
You can see your HTC on your PC again!
I tried adb push.. But i cant find the pushed zip on sd card in recovery.. Moreover i tried flashing using fastboot command i.e. fastboot flash zip rom.zip it ended with an error <remote not allowed>

Hi!
I lend my HTC one X to my friend that said that he would boost my phone up to KitKat 4.4.4. But he returned it completely blank. I am pretty sure he erased the whole system.
When I start the device it stops at the HTC logo. I am able to enter the bootloader and it says "Unlocked". When I enter "Recovery" the device loads a grey screen with a couple of options. The main title is "ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8".
When I connect my phone to the PC it shows the device ( H: ).
Please help, how do I restore my phone? I don't care if it is rooted or not. I just want it to work again.
Kind regards,
Alexander
you can restore your phone either by nandroid backup or by flashing a custom rom..

I am not so good at this. Did I not have to have made a backup in nandroid before things got out of hand? The storage seems to be totally deleted. How do I put in an OS again?
I tried to use adb but I might have done it wrong because my PC says that there are no devices found. Are you able to help me?

I tried to use adb but I might have done it wrong because my PC says that there are no devices found. Are you able to help me?

aaah, okey.
How do I transfer nandroid to my phone? I'm unable to connect my phone to my PC, it makes the sound that the PC found my phone but it does not pop up anymore. Tried to search on google and when I looked in sdcard/clockworkmod/ the folder is empty.
Do you have a guide on how to use this? I do not know if it is possible but i am afraid that my friend has erased all data.

Thank you for a good guide but I got stuck on 'Go to cwm recovery and mount your internal storage'
What I have available in the main menu (IMG_1) is 'mounts and storage'. When I select that I have the options from IMG_2 and IMG_3. If i Choose mount USB storage the device shows IMG_4 but nothing happens.
Am I doing it wrong? The only thing that happens is when I connect my device to the computer, it makes the sound as if it was found.
Try flashing this recovery. http://d-h.st/nmh
Download the image and put it in the onexroot folder.
In fastboot mode, type fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery/file>.img
Did this because the cwm mount never worked for me too :/
