[Q] HOX stuck on slash screen

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.
Now my question is: CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE A VERY SIMPLISTIC PROCEDURE TO RESTORE TO STOCK?
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 ?

[Q] Problems in updating (4.0.4 to 4.1.1) and going into recovery mode

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!

I can't find ruu the match to my HTC ONE X. when i use OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_50_S_HTC_Europe_4 and do "fastboot oem rebootRUU" & "fastboot flash zip <filename.zip>" i get error: 12 signature verify fail. I saw on another forum that is normal to get this error and you need to enter again this command, and it didn't work.
I don't have android os at all, just hboot,fastboot and recovery(cwm).
help please!! thank you very much!

First off, you're posting in the wrong forum, this is the HTC One XL forum. I'll ask for this thread to be moved to the right place for you.
But in the meantime I can offer some advice. The file you're trying to flash isn't an RUU, it's an OTA. An RUU is always an exe file and can only be run in Windows. An OTA is not what you want, an OTA is only a partial OS and requires a specific preceding system to be currently installed on your phone to build on top of. If you attempt to install an OTA with your current setup (no OS installed) it'll fail miserably.
You can find an RUU for your device here:
http://androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor
I'd suggest you do some reading before you proceed any further though, it seems as though you don't really know what you're doing. There's a certain level of knowledge required when modifying your device and without it you're likely to brick your phone. Go to your device forum and do some reading, then do some more, and then do some more.

Thank you for the answer!!
I search in the link you gave to me but i didn't find nothing that match to my device. can you give me RUU please?

There are literally dozens of RUUs for your device on that site. It might be best to wait for someone who has the same device as you to chime in on this thread.
@Mr Hofs, you around?

Hofsy around yes.....4.18 has no ruu available at all. Only way to go back to stock is a nandroid backup. Now i am going to assume for this one time that you actually made a stock backup ?
Easiest way to get back up is to install a clean new custom rom.
Download this rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
And flash this recovery :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Rename it to "recovery.img" and flash it :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device and copy that rom to the sd.
Make a full wipe in the recovery :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache, data and system
Install the rom zip and then reboot to the bootloader to flash the boot.img from the rom.zip :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
That should do the trick, btw this is the stock rom but made "custom" ......

Thanks for popping in to clear that up, I'm all good when it comes to the Evita, but I've almost no clue when it comes to the Endeavoru.

Same way around !

Deleted Teamwin Recovery without having stock recovery again-Bootloop HTC One M8

Hey everyone
The thing is that I was trying to return my phone to stock recovery to update my phone to Marshmallow and unroot it and I read this in another forum:"Boot your phone to TWRP recovery mode by turn off your phone then presses Vol up + Power to boot into bootloader then choose RECOVERY. There is a more simple way, by using “adb reboot recovery”.
Once came into TWRP main menu, now tap Mount -> Mount system then taps Home.
Tap Advanced -> File Manager, browse to “/system/xbin” folder. From there delete su, daemonsu or busybox if it exists. Also browse to “/system/app” the get rid of Superuser.apk."
So I followed these instructions and then when I rebooted the phone,it got stuck in bootloop. I can't turn it off now or get into the bootloader.
Android-HTC One M8
What can I do to have my phone again in stock recovery?
Thanks in advance

First of all if you rooted the rom this ain't going to work. You need a never rooted stock rom + recovery.
Hold power + volume up and switch to volume down when the screen turns black (do not let go of the power button) then you are in the BL. From there you go to the custom TWRP recovery.
Then you have to find a pure stock backup or a RUU that matches your OS/firmware number (if you haven't made one yourself), restore it and flash the stock recovery and you are done.

From there I tried to flash the stock RUU 6.12.1540.4 and it always ends with error 155>UKNOWNERROR despite already relocked the device. Should I flash 4.24.709.3 RUU?
Also I try to get to the recovery menu but it only shows a phone with a red triangle,nothing else.

You can't run the dev edition RUU at all as you are S-ON and have a different firmware. If you have the 709 RUU then try that indeed. But backup what you need because a RUU deletes EVERYTHING !

So my steps would be S-OFF and from there download 4.24.709.3 RUU? with firmware you mean version-main, right?

No S-OFF is NOT needed. just get the RUU with that version number indeed if it's even available. Then run it with a RELOCKED bootloader.

Should I do a ramdump or something like that?

A stock back-up has to be unpacked and RESTORED with TWRP. No idea what you are doing now but i suggest to stop and read instructions first !
A stock zip can mean everything at this point.....where did you get it ?

I can't push an adb sideload for the firmware.zip nor adb push it.
for the adb sideload says cannot read *sideload* . Any other way to push a .zip file into the phones sd card to mount it with twrp?
