HTC One X : The Disaster Fix

Hye XDAs members..I want to share my experience with you..
I have been through with a lot of trouble since I made something, kinda stupid with my phone..
The 'disaster', than I mention on the title is, when:
1. I have made full wipe
2. No ROM on sdcard (forgot to place it!)
3. I can't restore my nandroid backup due to md5 mismatch error!
4. Bootloop
So with that problem, means that I can't open my sdcard to place any ROM in it. Bootloop is not a big issue here, but the real deal was I can't have the access to my sdcard. Then the trouble begin when I can't boot, and stuck on HTC boot screen.
This was what I have done, to recover my phone. Hope I can help someone out there that having the same problem as I am. I have access to fastboot, so:
1. I flash a custom recovery, in my case I chose ClockwordMod Touch Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
2. After that, I put in these command to made my sdcard opened:
adb devices
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sys/devices/platform/fsl-tegra-udc/gadget/lun0/file
3. The sdcard was opened successfully! I copied my choice of custom ROM, which was Charmeleon v5.0.0, to the sdcard. I also copied Super Wipe script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
4. After that I go to fastboot, flash the kernel, and went back straight to the recovery. I flashed the Super Wipe script, and then I flashed the ROM, reboot.
5. Finally I have my phone fully functioning again!
This tutorial was done in Windows 7. I have tried this on Windows 8 but unfortunately Windows 8 failed to recognize the commands due to lack of HTC drivers support. I haven't tried it on Ubuntu, yet.
Before you make everything, make sure you have charge you battery fully!
So I hope this thread here will be able to help somebody. Finally thanks to everybody here. Have a good day mates!

Why would anybody use the adb commands to copy anything to the SD card, it is already included/enabled (mount -->mount USB memory-->done) in the new recovery

I will definitely DO THAT, if I can..in my case, I CAN'T..
That is why I wrote this, for those who can't..I don't know what is wrong with cwm, but because of that error, I have to do all of that command..

What can cause that:
1. You didnt instal the latest CWM
2. You didnt mount the right thing ...
3. You have bad drivers ...
But it is most probably the first one...

I have install the latest CWM..I think it was caused by the Windows 8, that didn't support HTC drivers..I tried this on my wife laptop which is powered by Windows 7, and wal-lah, the drivers installed successfully..Windows 8 Release Preview still need some final touch before it goes to the market..I love Windows 8, but have to stick with Windows 7 after this case happened to me..
I don't really care if I haven't flash the latest CMW, what I do care is about people out there who have the same problem as I am..I just wanted to help them, and myself..

My thoughts exactly.
That supports the theory above that the incorrect CWM was installed.
The previous versions couldn't mount the USB Storage, but as of the latest CWM, you can.
While that was a cool trick, I think installing the lastest CWM recovery image would have solved a lot of these issues from the get-go

Recovery
Hello,
After the fastboot command did you then reboot into recovery?
Once in recovery, my windows XP does not see any device attached. Should I see a device attached while in recovery?
If I should, where can I get this driver? I tried installing PDA.net to get this, but still there is no device found, and so no way to use ADB.
I'm stuck because I have to send system modules after sending a boot.img, but there is no way.
Edit: Ahh I fixed this by updating my CWM from 5.8.3.1 to 5.8.4.0!

md5 mismatch error
greetings...

You need to push the correct boot.IMG via fastboot before you flash the Rom that's usually cause of bootloop plus not clearing cache

You have to flash the kernel of your ROM from bootloader..
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Then try to restore your backup..

[Q] Attempt to mod my phone now almost bricked

Guys,
I'm a newbie to rooting and unlocking world, and I think have done too many things to screw my phone as much as I can.
Device is a PrimeOU based. (India)
Trying to recall the series of accidents that I committed since last 24hrs on my HTC ONE V.
1. Unlocked the bootloader successfully.
2. Rooted the device successfully and installed CWM and copied the file mentioned in this post
3. Entered the recovery mode, backed up my previous ROM from CWM.
4. Flashed the ROM directly (Later I came to know there were a some other steps missed here).
5. And of course, post flashing CYANOGENMOD 10 was stuck in the boot screen.
6. Went back to recovery mode and here I made a biggest mistake, I partitioned the SD card as the CWM logs were showing that one of the ext partition could not be mounted. Because of this, I LOST ALL MY BACKUP DATA.
7. Again, referred one more post from here .. tried copying files, played around but nothing worked.
8. Flashed again from some windows based tool (Can recall its name, its not in my browser history as well). Installed TWAR.
9. Started searching for the stock ROM and found one here
Tried to recover the base ROM but no luck.
10. Found that I should try with RUU to resume my stock ROM. relocked phone flashed the image again.
I see error 155, which says that I should try with another RUU version, but the verdict is that hboot version is older.... came through another post that at this moment there is no RUU version available that suits the hboot compatibility as of now.
Conclusion:
I have now understood, that should not have messed up so much with my phone without any proper education on android rooting unlocking.
Device is now flashed with some version of RUU and recovery mode takes me to default android recovery screen which again reboots the phone.
Is my device bricked? Can we get it back functioning normally? Can we try the below?
1. Is there any way I can recover the deleted backup on my SD card and try recover again? Does the card get formatted completely if a new partition is created.?
2. Should I take it to an authorized service center? Its no longer in warranty, so they will always be happy to get things done for a price.
3. Should I take it to an unauthorized shops who can get back my phone working?
Any help is highly appreciated.Please let me know if you have any other advice too...
Thanks in advance,
Sumanth

Don't worry you aren't bricked! Right now is your bootloader unlocked?

If you can't use a ruu, then you need a custom rom. In order to do that you need to unlock and root again first

Thanks, first of all, happy to hear that phone is still alive.
I just do not want to mess up any further, unless I get a clear step by step process to root it again.
where can I get such descriptive steps that start from ABC....?

Hello Nooby - Thanks a lot for your direction. I will try this and reply by tomorrow (Its 4AM here )
I may sound stupid but one last question - if something goes wrong with this one too, hope the phone wont be bricked?

Hi Nooby - Successfully unlocked and rooted per the steps in the thread. Now my phone boots up and stops in the CYANOGEMOD boot page, which I had tried to install at the first instance. (Similar case just before loosing my backup)
I shall continue with this stock ROM for ONE V mentioned in the post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647052
Observations:
1. I see that CWM or TWRP is one of the requirements for this to work, but I have lost either of these after flashing multiple times...
2. Instructions also say that I should use "Sense kernel Titanium-KISS or Stock kernel".
3. There was an earlier failed attempt to install a CYANOGENMOD 10 but not sure if I'm using a Stock Kernel.
Please advice.
Regards,
Sumanth

Ok this is twrp recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721749 download it and put it in fastboot folder, then connect the phone in fastboot mode, open cmd, locate your fastboot folder and type fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img, then all you need to do is flash the right kernel and your phone will work normally
---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------
If now you have cm10, download this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954967 and put it in your fastboot folder, connect your phone in fastboot mode, locate the folder in cmd and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, when you type that you should see on your phone a loading bar on top right of the screen. When this is done, just reboot your phone and wait some minutes for the rom to boot
---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------
ok so, now iim on the computer i can write properly u.u now that you have unlocked and rooted again, the first thing you do is flash the twrp recovery via fastboot (i guess you know how to do it if you already unlocked and rooted). once the recovery is installed you can go 2 ways:
1) Use sense rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647052 this one is very good, almost like stock rom. In order to do that you follow these steps:
a) download TITANIUM KISS kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765687
b) put the kernel in fastboot folder and flash it, you need to open cmd, locate your fastboot folder, connect the phone in fastboot mode and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, on the screen you will see the loading bar (it's very quick), once its done, reboot into recovery.
c)from the recovery, go to advanced->mount usb storage, the computer will open your phone folder, just take the rom and copy it to your sd card, when it's done copying, just do unmount usb storage.
d)from the recovery, do wipe->factory reset, it will delete the old rom on your phone
e)now you are ready to flash the rom, from the recovery goto install and select the rom from the list.
It will take like 5-6 minutes to boot the first time, so dont worry and wait.
2) Use cyanogenmod10, then you need hellboy kernel and the rom of course. steps:
a)download hellboy kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954967
b)same as above
c)same as above
d)same as above
e)same as above
this will also take some minutes to boot the first time. Once its booted you wont have play store and stuff (only on cyanogen, sense has it already), so you need to do this:
f)mount usb storage
g)download gapps from here http://www.mediafire.com/?k2cb1trw8s2oio2
h)copy gapps to your sd card
i)reboot into recovery and install them, reboot the phone and you are all done!

Flashing with Sense kernel Titanium-KISS will suffice before I install the myONEv RC9.0 FX+ ROM?

Problem after root Red Triangle/Question mark after Reboot

Hello guys, I have HTC One V GSM which was recently unlocked and rooted by me. I don't remember how I got that but got it Rooted somehow.
Now Problem is I am unable to backup recovery, unable to install Rom, unable to install themes, after every reboot of following actions,
In Rom Manager
Reboot into recovery takes me to red question mark
The Rom you are using doesn't support OTA updates. The developer of this Rom needs to make the appropriate changes so their ROM support OTA update. Please contact ROM developer.
Installation Rom from sd card also shows red question mark.
In ROM Toolbox pro
Rom management
when i install MIUI (one of the ROMs available seen there) after reboot into recovery option same "red question mark"
unable to change font once I got them changed fortunately/unfortunately
so basically I don't know what to do. I don't even know what exactly can i do after Root else then deleting few pre installed apps
I am very very, in fact very, new to all these tech things just checked internet and did few things.
Please help me guys

1) don't use rom manager
2) it seems you don't have a recovery. Flash it again via fastboot

Thanks Mr Nooby for your reply
Since I am very new to these, did u mean the same procedure I did after unlocking bootloader? procedure of rooting?
Is there anyway I can stat over with new Root I mean fresh after Unlocked bootloader? Then may be I can re start installing Roms and tweaking phone?

Yeah you can flash roms and stuff. Remember that fastboot folder you used to root the phone? Put the recovery file (go for twrp recovery, you can find it in original development of this phone) in that folder, connect the phone in fastboot mode, open cmd and type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img", it will send recovery to the phone. From there you can install roms. Never use rom manager, it bricks your phone. And whenever you flash a rom, remember to flash kernel or it will be in boot loop

E:/%20cant%20/open%20cache/recovery/command
this error comes when i recover after flashing fastboot..
have tried twrp too
it aslso says
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

I don't really understand what could give you the problem. Tell the exact steps you are doing

steps are.. I have downloaded fastboot zip it has adb, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll, fastboot
i have downloaded twrp.mg (openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou)
Opened cmd from same folder typed fastboot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou or openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou.img
then pressed recovery
phone restarted green circle thing and then Red triangle with exclam sign. then rebooted by own and nothing happened.
I might be wrong doing it but unable to do anyting.
Can I unroot and start again?
I am downloading HTC asia RUU

See, you are taking wrong steps. In order to put recovery on phone you must type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img", not all the stuff you are writing dude

[Q] [HELP] Trying to flash TWRP on V50020b

Im trying to flash TWRP on my v50020b but cannot seem to do it. Its currently on the stock 4.4.2 GB rom. Please can someone advise me how to do this.
Thank You.

You can use dd to write the aboot.img of 4.2.2 back. This will allow the old Loki flash method.

I had the same problem until I ran across this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267 {Acually the same you quoted}
If you'll go down to the download Step #3 and copy that zip file to your computer and unzip it and run the bat file it will install TWRP v2.7. Of course you'll have to install the LG USB drivers and install from your computer. (Won't work otherwise) Also be sure and use the second down connection for USB on your tablet - M-something, but not the charging one.
Also - get a good reboot app so you won't have to hold the buttons.

I also have this version V50020b and this method didn't work.
When boot to recovery there's still the android recovery!!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

You're quoting an old post (way back in April 2014).
1st - Do you have a recovery installed?
2nd - If so, you should update to at least TWRP 2.800
I may be confused about exactly what you are doing...now if you're only booting with the buttons (power-sound down, sound up) that is the message you get and you have to push 'power' 2 times to enter recovery. Are you doing that when you see the display of android recovery after using the cold boot, then the volume and power buttons?? And you are expecting to see TWRP opening, but instead of going straight to TWRP recovery - you're getting what you say 'Android Recovery', or Factory Reset?
Post back so we will understand please. Hope I'm not being confusing in my answers...

I know that is an old post. I was trying to flash the TWRP recovery without any downgrade of the software, since this method was suposed to work with the software version V50020b.
I simply want to flash TWRP recovery, the tablet is all stock with root (TowelRoot), but I just realised that I have to downgrade the software (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58198471&postcount=44), and wanted to avoid this! I already softbricked the tablet with only 3h of usage, and now I'm a little afraid! lol
Do you now any method that works without the downgrade trick?
Thanks.

Flash TWRP with flashify (root) - (from Play Store).
This *should* work & if not I think no harm will come ... Flashify.app just won't 'work' if things are not correct.
Good luck!

I did that. That's what softbricked the tablet!

I would shut the tablet completely down.
You should be able to use the 'buttons' to get to 'Factory Reset'. Do what you know: Power/+down then all 3. If you can't get to TWRP, it must not be installed.
Check with a command window. Be sure & use 'su'. Ask a guru 'how'...I may not be 'expert' enough!

I tryed that no luck. I flashed cm12.1 seems to be able to write to both internal and external so i decided to re wipe internal sd, data, cache,dalvik and try to flash UCUFNJ1 again but sticks at att symbol with blue blinking led.

Did you do format data under advanced wipe, the one where you have to type yes? That one is pretty good for solving aosp to touchwiz problems.

If no one hops in with any better ideas here maybe look around the s3rx or tm ROM development threads here. You're not the first person to have this problem, but I thought they solved it by formatting internal sd and flashing a stock ROM first.
If you want something else to try, maybe flash philz touch for recovery wipe and flash with it.

Trying s3rx flashed okay but its just at the startup screen with flying dots nothing else is happening.

There should be some discussion in that s3rx thread of people having the same problem, touchwiz won't boot after running aosp. Take a look through the more recent posts or do some searching there. Someone might have posted a fix. This problem isn't really uncommon.

Cant find the latest philz touch recovery for the I747.

Did you give philz touch recovery a try? There's a point of view here that it wipes a little better than twrp.

The zips look like they're made to be flashed in custom recovery.

I got philz on there and S3Rx on external but i get a status 7 error i tryed adb push it to /sdcard but its not showing up there and it copied successfully.

I think i got it /sdcard not there it needs to be /data lol

Internal sdcard might be at /data/media/0. I haven't used philz much myself. I think you can go into Mount -> USB storage to get it to mount as a USB device if you need to. It's not automatic like on twrp.

After full wipes and format of data, flash the NJ1 bootloader/modem and then the ROM. I had to do that on mine and it worked

The boot loader and modem thing is a great point. I should have asked you that to begin with, but unless you are absolutely certain you were on ne4 or nj1 boot loader before, do not just find the nj1 boot loader and modem on the forum and flash it or you could hard brick.
Safest way to proceed would be to load aroma file manager on your external sd card. Flash it in recovery then open up a terminal from it. In the terminal enter
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
That will output your boot loader.

Great. Glad it's working for you.
So it wouldn't boot after wiping with twrp and had to be wiped with philz. Did you get it to flash with philz or did you have to go back to twrp to flash it? Just want to be sure I understand. :highfive:
