[Q] Device won't boot past HTC logo, please help!

Hi, after attempting to flash a custom ROM to my phone I'm experiencing a big problem, the phone will not boot past the HTC screen. This is obviously very frustrating as the phone is pretty much rendered useless.
I am able to get into the HBOOT menu by holding the Power button and Volume Down and from there am able to select Recovery and enter the ClockWork Mod recovery screens. As you can tell I'm a 100% noob and I really just want to revert my phone to a working state. My network is Vodafone UK. I can't find an RUU above version 3.13 which is apparently what I have (so it tries updating 3.13 to 3.13 and obviously fails).
Any help on getting my phone to work again would be very very appreciated, thanks.

Download a ROM onto your computer, connect to your phone in recovery, mount the sdcard, move the ROM from your computer onto your phone's sdcard, and flash from recovery. No need for RUU.

Dont forget to wipe.
wipe data/factory reset and format all partitions (except sd card) from recovery.
Go to bananagranolas link in her signature, you'll find everything you need there.

Thanks a lot for your help! I was attempting to flash the JellyTime ROM which I understand must have failed to result in my phone not booting properly. Should I flash a stock ROM or will any ROM suffice?

As long as you are S-OFF and have a custom recovery (CMW or 4EXT) you are able to flash any custom rom you like. Just make sure that you make a full wipe before the flashing (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system or in 4ext recovery just choose format all partitions except sdcard).
That should leave you up and running again.

Okay great!
I used the HTCDev tools to unlock my boot loader which I understand is different to S-OFF? Could that be while the ROM flashing failed originally?
EDIT: Upon trying to flash the JellyTime AKOP Rom I get a message saying install from SD card complete but it's still stuck at the HTC screen...

If you have an unlocked bootloder, then you have to flash the rom (previous full wipe of course) then reboot bootloader (from advanced options in CWM) and then in fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red in the phone when plugged to the pc) you have to flash the boot.img inside the rom zip folder.
Extract that file only (not the whole rom) and from a cmd session or terminal as root (located where the boot.img file is) type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done (you will get OKAY. finished near the bottom) you can reboot normally by typing in cmd fastboot reboot or choosing reboot from hboot.

My bootloader now says RELOCKED, how can I unlock it again? (I'm really sorry about this)

Use the token HTC sent you when u unlocked it. and typing in cmd the fastboot unlock command.

Okay done that, thanks a lot!
I'm now looking in the advanced options of CWM, I can see the option "Reboot Recovery" but no "Reboot Bootloader"?

Okay, I wiped all partitions, installed JellyTime AOKP, restarted, went into fastboot, extracted/flash boot file and the rebooted phone.
The phone will now progress from the HTC screen but is now stuck on a black screen, Windows tried to install drivers but failed....

Was the boot.img file flashed successfully?

Yes it said so...
EDIT: Not sure if this is an issue with the ROM of if I'm doing something wrong? I went to the "mounts and storage" section of CWM and clicked all the format options accept sdcard. I then installed ROM, went into fastboot and flashed boot.img, it said OKAY twice then finished. Still stuck at black, backlit screen after HTC screen. ROM is JellyTime by randomblame.

EDIT: well, don't I feel stupid. I knew full well from reading that your phone wasn't working, but posted a link to an app. Just not paying attention. Sorry about that.

VBQ24,
You can go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU from your PC.
(Edit: You should relock your bootloader first. you can do so from Hboot. There's an option that says relock bootloader or something like that)
The version of the RUU should be equal or greater to the version that came with your phone. Try this v3.13
However, if you want to flash a custom ROM:
You need to downgrade your device first, get s-off and root, then flash a custom ROM
You need to use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK), get it from here.
Make sure to read the manual (called 'effin manual) word by word. There are instructions on how to downgrade.
Follow the instructions, and if you have any questions, ask here.

[Q] Boot loop after stock recovery TWRP

Hi All,
Been having issues with my HTC One X for the past week now and haven't been able to solve it via google or searching this forum, so was hoping one of you kind people can assist a bit.
I do apologise if this issue has already been posted and I missed it, if you can link me I'll be eternally grateful.
Basically, had a few issues annoying me with my HTC so wanted to stick a custom ROM on it. Did some searching about, eventually got a plan together to unlock and root it. All went fine, unlocked it (S-On still) got TWRP recovery on it (Chose this as the ROM I was looking at claimed to be not compatible with CWR) and was booted back into my stock droid.
First thing I did after a successful boot was to go back into recovery and make a full backup (I may have not ticked the Cache and _android.secure)
Played about with the phone again a bit, getting some of the apps back on as it had been wiped, then made a second backup (This one I know I ticked all the boxes for)
Next I tried putting CleanROM on, but could get past the white HTC screen boot loop, after various reflashing the Boot.IMG and clearing cache, so fired up TWRP and restored back to my second backup. All back to normal.
Used the phone as normal for a day or so then I tried flashing another ROM (ViperX) same thing as CleanROM (White HTC screen boot loop) and then went on to try Team Baked's ROM. Managed to get this working successfully, however the ROM was not to my liking and decided to go back to my stock backup. Here's where the issue started.
Now, when restoring the backup the phone boots as far as displaying my background and the status bar at the top, however I cannot pull the status bar down and the ring to unlock the phone with doesn't appear. It sits here for a few second and then reboots. Boot loop.
I've tried clearing cache, restoring various different ways and restoring the boot.img (though I'm not sure I have the right one) but nothing works.
The last variation I tried for restoring involved:
1. Clearing the phone via TWRP (System Restore/Clear Cache/Clear Davik/Clear System/Clear SD Card (heard this can cause issues)/Clearing Android.Secure in that order)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Repeat step 1 (in case of locked files)
4. Reboot into Recovery
5. full restore (With MD5 check enable)
6. Clear Cache and Dalvik (Tried with just cache, also done Fastboot clear cache in another attempt)
7. Attempt to boot into OS.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm not sure if I have the right boot.IMG for my phone Model/kernal/other, to be honest I'm not entirely sure of the requirements. The details of my phone I've collected so far are:
Getvar version-main (Not sure if this is kernal or what) = 2.17.771.3
hBoot = 1.12.0000
radio = 2.1204.135.20H
CID = H3G_001
Basically, as far as I can tell from the masses of reading I've been doing, I won't be able to update to custom JB for a while so want to get back to my stock ICS and then OTA to JB when my carrier releases their version, then maybe sometime in the future when the ROM specific to my phone has been cracked consider switching to a custom.
on a final note, I've tried flashing both my backups, same result. I've also tried restoring the stock recovery and doing a system recovery with that. It appears to go through the motions (phone with green arrows? Also had the red exclamation mark, but only once of the 3 attempts) then reboots and it's still the same issue.
Thanks for reading through, any advice would be much appreciated. Used to love my phone but now can barely stand to look at it.
Cheers,
Sean

Ok, so I've now downloaded a different boot.img which should be for stock ics and after flashing that, then flashing stock recovery and doing a system restore via bootloader I will 50% of the time get the lock screen and when I unlock it I see the white HTC screen of the initial setup, then it sticks there a while and reboots. It also reboots after left at the lock screen.
To me this seems like it's doing a check or looking for a certain piece of software/file that's missing but is required to finish the start-up process. Anyone any ideas?
Even if someone can point me in the right direction for an RRU for my phone as football's RRU's seem to be the only one that has the one I need but as of 5 days before all this happened the site they're hosted on doesn't allow 500+MB downloads for free members
Cheers,
Sean
**EDIT** Just done a full device wipe then restored only the SYSTEM partition and manually flashed the boot, then when I restarted it sat on the white HTC on the device setup but eventually loaded up, allowed me to complete the device setup and then loaded into the OS. All seemed fine aside from the phone being stuck in turning off airplane mode. Rebooted it to see if that would clear it up and now I'm back to bootloops before the lock screen appears (I just get my background and status bar)

So you have a nandroid backup ! Then do this
Wipe all in recovery and i mean ALL except the sdcard obvious ! system,data,caches,dalvik cache...
Then boot back into fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img from the nandroid. Taken with TWRP the boot.img is called something like
Emmc.boot.win (or at least similar to this)
You can flash this file with fastboot command
Fastboot flash boot name of the boot.img (.win in this case)
Then enter the recovery and full wipe if you didn't o that already !
Restore the nandroid and boot it up :thumbup:
Should work

Perfect! Thanks so much man, I never even thought to flash the .wim, thought it had to be .img. Just successfully booted fully back into my old system. Hopefully will stay stable the next hour or so but looking good!
Thanks again,
Sean

Yes, the one came with Android_Fastboot_KIT_V12.x

And make sure you flash a 2.17 based ICS rom. You can not run the maximus JB rom on that 1.12 hboot !

Please guide, sorry for troubling.

Download a 2.17 ics Rom and copy it to the phone (mount the sdcard within the recovery as a usb disk)
Take the boot.img file from that rom and copy it to the tool you used to flash it
Then enter the recovery and wipe EVERYTHING except sdcard ofcourse !!! (Cache,dalvik cache, system and data)
Then install the Rom.zip

No problem mate ! :thumbup:

If you're looking for a Rom, I've got hboot 1.12 as well and tried a few ROMs and only ones I got working were:
Team Baked, based on jellybean though still works with 1.12. No Sense though, and a few things weren't to my liking (to name a couple,backlights on buttons didn't work and multitask button was switched back to menu button like in older devices)
SkyDragon, ics ROM with sense. Only had this a short while but appeared to be an exact stock ROM, everything working the way it should, and with a few added extra improvements.
Good luck

Copy the boot.img from the backup to your PC (you can mount SD card as USB from TWRP), flash it:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And restore backup from TWRP.

Yeah, if you follow Mr hofs 1st post on the 1st page he describes all the steps required to restore. Worked perfectly for me

Thanks alot, got it back as it was before.

Need to clear a doubt; will I be able to update my device with the OTA, as my device is unlocked, S-ON & TWRP installed?

I hope so, I'm in the same boat as you. From what I've been reading, it should still be possible as long as you put back the stock recovery and relock the bootloader.
This website offers links to download the stock recovery
http://www.androidauthority.com/one-x-revert-stock-recovery-76854/
As for relocking the bootloader, I think the process is to run this command whilst in Fast Boot USB mode
fastboot oem lock
After it's run there should be a purple "RELOCKED" at the top of your bootloader menu.
Remember to flash the recovery BEFORE you relock the bootloader

You do not have to lock the bootloader, just the stock recovery is needed ....
Stock rom (out of the box stock)
Stock boot.img
Stock recovery
Here is the 2.17 based stock recovery for those who needs it

[Q] Help me please!!!

Please help me I may be in some deep poop here
Hi, I recently tried to root my HTC one X from the latest firmware (jellybean) using this http://ausdroid.net/2012/04/02/how-to-root-the-htc-one-x/ method. Unfortunately it didn't work and instead put the phone into a boot loop. I managed to flash a version of CWM recovery onto it, and I downloaded the viperX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745176 rom and used adb push to put it onto the sd card so I could install it. I installed it and select no custom kernal when it asked me and it had no effect. So i tried installing it again but I ticked custom kernal to see what it did. Big mistake - the phone tries to boot, it has the viperx snake thingy in the boot screen, it gets to the lock screen and is completely unresponsive and crashed. I tied downloading another rom (nocturnal) and installing that but it had no effect.
I've tried using a RUU to fix it but none of the ones I tried work, they get an error, wrong bootloader version. I relocked the bootloader and flashed a stock recovery onto it but still no luck.
Please please help me anyone!!!!
Some info:
CID: VODAP021
S-On
Hboot 1.36.0000 - i believe this coult be the problem why the ruu won't work
CPLD-None
Radio-5.1204.162.29
eMMC-bootmode: disabled
CPU-bootmode; disabled
hw secure boot; enabled\
modem path; off

What custom recovery do you have ? Type and version ?
First, you should be able to mount the sdcard as a usb diskdrive from within the recovery !
Second, you need to flash the boot.img file from the viper.zip (its inside the rom.zip).
Third, you need to perform a FULL wipe in the recovery before installing the actual rom.
Your hboot is not the problem. Its one or more of the things above.
And also check what is on top of your bootloader. Does it say ENDEAVORU ?

First off, thanks for your help. I've unlocked the bootloader again, flashed the boot image from the viperx zip and reinstalled viperx but it still won't boot. How do you perform a full wipe, and also in the installer for the rom it said something about flashing the kernal manually if you don't have s-off (in the botloader it says s-on).
BTW i'm using cwm recovery v6.0.1.9

Oke, first of all download the viper x 3.3.7. The JB version !
A FULL wipe ? You have to delete all data in the recovery. Wipe caches,dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset. Format cache, data, system. Then install the Rom. And right before you install the rom you unhook the usb cable too.
The boot.img is flashed with a command like this
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Used that before ?

Ok there's my first problem i had an old version of viperx, it was an ics one and my phone had jb on it.
Yes i'm familiar with using the fastboot flash command, its the only way I managed to get cwm on there
Also, just to be clear, I flash the new boot.img (the one in the viperx folder) before or after I install the new rom?

Yes you flash the new boot.img, perform a full wipe in the recovery, unhook the usb cable ! Then install the new rom.
Select full wipe in the installer, kernel question is answered by pressing viper x delivered.

Ok thanks, i'm trying to put the new rom onto the phone now, I've formatted system, /sdcard, ect in cwm plus cleared the caches, I've mounted sdcard and typed into adb: adb push ViperX3.3.7.zip sdcard, i'm waiting for it to finish pushing, its taking a while
Its done, by viperx delivered you mean viperx supplied right? I used that one, its installing now, fingers crossed..

Its easier to go into the mounts and storage section of the recovery and mount is as a mass storage device (diskdrive) its like inserting a usb stick

OK its booting, it had the viperx snake going across the boot screen, now its displaying the htc one boot screen...
Sucses! Its working again. I'll make sure to install cwm and make a backup straight away.
Thankyou so much for your help, i've sent you a little something for your trouble

Thanks mate, appreciate it ! have fun with Viper X JB !
CASE CLOSED !

[Q] Trying to upgrade to CM10.1 keeps failing.

After a few unsuccessful attempts to flash my HTC One X up to CM10.1, I found out my hboot version was too low, so after much reading, trying and failing etc. I managed to get my hboot up to 1.36 (even after having my phone stuck at the white HTC boot logo for about 2 hours), but I still cant install the version of CM10.1 that I spent hour trying to do at the weekend (cm-10.1-20130312-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip) it still fails at the hboot checking point.
My main question is what would be the process that I would need to get the lastest version of CM10.1 to work?
Details from my phone
hboot - 1.36
CID - ORANG001
RUU - 2.17.61.3
I know there is a new boot.img that needs to be flashed after CM10.1 has gone in and was reading earlier about the stable releases, which is fine I have no problem with that, but I just cant figure out why I still cant flash 10.1 even after hboot upgrade which was a pain having to go back to a stock rom after re-locking my bootloader etc.
I know this stuff gets asked so many times, this is probably a repost but I just dont want to have to troll through hundreds of posts if the process is just, flash this, now this... done...
Thanks for reading.

Check for something called "vendor" it needs to be installed after the rom. Dont shoot me for this info....i haven't checked it myself ! But read something about it from the sideline

Go to CM thread in original dev section, in first post you can find a vendor installer zip that you must flash in recovery after flashing the ROM.
This is due to vendor files being taken down (DMCA),that's why latest zips have them missing and can't boot.

Yeh but thats my problem, how can I flash the vendor installer after the rom when I cant actually get the rom to flash in the first place?
If I grab the lastest nightly from clockworkmod app on my phone, tell it to wipe cache and then install rom, it reboots the phone like normal, I get the ruu replacement screen it does some of it, then flat out fails at the hboot check, I then have to use recovery to reboot the phone and it back on the original rom but I have to setup everything again (install apps and such, connect to my google account for contacts etc)

Bump

The steps are
Make a FULL wipe in the recovery
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & Storage - format cache,data,system
Then install cm10.1, gapps,vendors - DO NOT REBOOT IN BETWEEN AND ALSO NOT AFTER THE INSTALL !
now head back to the bootloader
Adb reboot bootloader
And flash the boot.img from the cm10.1.zip file
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
Should be it !

HTC One VZW Bricked

I had started a previous thread, and in attempting to fix my phone, it seems I may have bricked it.
I somehow flashed a gsm rom for my CDMA verizon HTC one m7. In attempting to revert to a stock rom I am now stuck.
I attempted to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752 as a stock dump, it would fail at the end of the installation.
I tried flashing a stock recovery found on that link and it failed to boot, one time it had a picture of a phone with green arrows going in a circle and loading bar under it, then it went to the regular boot, when I had 4.3 PAC Rom still installed. I was using TWRP as my recovery. I then for reasons unknown to me, flashed clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.7, which is when I must have wiped all data and tried installing the stock rom from the link above. When flashing it using clockwork it goes through till the end it says:
>>> Setting permissions
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in /data/media/0/one.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I go to reboot and then clockwork mod says I'm not rooted...
It reboots and just keeps rebooting the flash screen.
I power and down volume to go into bootloader and select recovery again.
It goes into clockworkmod and immediately at the bottom it says:
CLockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7
Swipe up/down to change selections.
Swipe to the right for enter.
Swipe to the left for back.
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I was trying the adb sideload to add another rom but it said device not found.
Any help would be appreciated.

also Tried reflashing TWRP a few versions older than the newest, and it shows the TWRP splash screen but then reboots and goes to the HTC screen.

In the bootloader menu this is the top
*** UNLOCKED ***

How did u manage to flash a gsm ROM
Sent from my HTC One VZW using Tapatalk 4

I'm not sure, it stemmed from my last post, one guy said that is why I had no service and no baseband when flashing from PAC Rom (JB) to the new PAC Rom or Paranoid ANdroid (KK) versions. Basically when flashing the new PAC I would use the PAC for VZW and it would fail, but the PAC with no provider would work but I would have no service. I'm not sure that is totally why though. But through that, someone suggested I update the firmware, I followed the link in the last post, updated the firmware, re flashed the KK roms with no difference. Then they suggested to just reflash a stock rom and stock recovery, the stock recovery they linked wouldn't boot, so I tried reflashing to clockworkmod recovery and tried installing the stock rom they suggested again, and it would fail during flashing it. I wiped my backups in that process and now I'm stuck with clockworkmod recovery and fastboot. Tried reflashing TWRP 2.6.3.1 which is the latest that would work on my phone, now it shows just the TWRP flash screen and doesnt go into the recovery, so I am now again with clockworkmod.

from that post I did the firmware update, I tested flashing the newest TWRP and it finally now works. So I flashed the only rom on the SD Card, from that same post by Santod040, the odexed version, which I had previously put on the sd card after wiping everything.. and it didn't fail to instal on the new TWRP like it did on clockworkmod, it said successful, then it asked to install SuperSU because it said I wasn't rooted, I said yes and now I am stuck in a bootloop again.
Tried to reflash again, except say no to installing SuperSU, and same result, a bootloop...
May I will try using the adb sideload tomorrow and add another ROM. last time the sideload wouldn't run, but maybe it will work now with the new TWRP.
Thanks for you help guys.

Flash the RUU, not the firmware update. Then turn it on and test. After that, then update your firmware / radio. Test again. THEN flash your recovery, both CWM and TWRP work. Test, make a backup. Then try flashing a ROM.
Here is the RUU link - http://goo.gl/JEkyCk
Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (rename file to rom.zip)
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
After that, update firmware, flash recovery, backup, profit.

hey guys... I flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2694193
then my device kept rebooting only on htc screen and that's it. tried different roms but didn't work. maybe Ihaven't tried the correct ones. right now I'm stuck in to bootloader only and the device is:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
M7_WLV PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.56.0000
RADIO-1.13.41.01.09_2
OS-3.11.605.1
recovery doesn't work. so far I'm trying to get something to work with fastboot, in other words, searching for RUU which will flash and make it work. if you have something in mind and can help me, please do so. THANKS!!!

You can also just download a Rom with root baked in. Bonestock is great, Santod040 or hawknests sense 6 roms are great. Lots of options there
