Use the fastboot commands to flash it, or the flasher app in ROM Development

Can you get into recovery? If so, you could try restoring nandroid and checking that the hboot file downloaded OK - if it came with an MD5 it's worth checking that - before giving it another go.
I've never used the flasher, just adb commands. Never had a problem flashing hboot tables.

Yea my own stupidity i guess. well im gonna pull the battery. lets see what
happens then.
edit : its ok regained control after unpluging usb. how do i know if it installed.
i am familiar with adb. how do i flash the cm7 hboot via that?

I also had problem with the flasher when I started in windows, then the phone just couldnt start or flash a new rom, but when I started the phone with backbottom ipressed and then started Android flasher all worked perfect.

Good news! To check your recovery you can either just boot into recovery and see what version you have, or remain booted and look in /sdcard/clockworkmod.settings (open as text file) to see the version number.
To flash hboots - check the instructions on the Alpharev site: www.alpharev.nl
EDIT: I found this post helpful as the instructions at alpharev are a little minimal at first sight. Obviously you are using the CM7 table not the Oxygen one!

Hi guys, I'm a little stuck/confused. When I boot my phone in Recovery Mode it says I'm running Clockwork Mod v2.5.0.1.
I installed a new version of ROM Manager (v3.0.1.0) flashed ClckworkMod Recovery and that says I have v 2.5.0.7 - so:
1. How do I ensure that the recovery mode is v 2.5.0.7
2. Do I need to unistall ROM Manager or,
3. Just leave it be?
System details:
Rooted HTC Desire
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband version 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
Kernel 2.6.32.36_rcmix_11032
Build number
RCMix HD v3.6.1 D2Ext Rotate
The numbers above don't mean much to me - I'm not a dev.
Thanks in advance.
*EDIT*
I've since downladed and installed the .zip found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640
It worked but ROM Manager still says the current recovery is version 2.5.0.7 although when I rebooted the writing was orange. I hope that makes sense to someone...

This is perfectly normal as 3.0.0.5 isn't an 'official'/final release yet.

Clockword Mod I/O Error

I flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.1 beta 5 (latest one when I flashed) on my One X and all was working fine for a few days, then the system randomly shutdown and on reboot got stuck into bootloop. I opened up clockwork mod but occasionally I get this message
Failed to open cache/recovery/log_data
(I/O Error)
Also if I go into "Advanced" and try to mount data, cache, sd card, etc I get an error saying that it can't
This happens around once a day and the only way I can get out of bootloop is to factory reset my phone
I've flashed new roms, even gone back to Android 4.1 but I still get the same error message.
I've reasearched and found nothing on this and have no clue what to do and help will be greately appreciated

I looked at newer version of Clockwork mod but didn't know if they were device specific and didn't want to risk flashing the wrong one on my device

Flash this one

There is no harm in manually mounting partitions how the op describes.
I make quite a few framework edits and it can cause problems changing the framework while android is running.
I quite often manually mount system in cwm as its easier than doing "adb shell mount /system"
But for the average user there is little need to do it as the installer scripts automatically mount the partitions that they need

Try TWRP recovery maybe. Don't really know what to think of this. When you flash the new recovery also do
Fastboot erase cache

Did a fastboot erase cache ?

My best guess was a ruu but i can almost say for 99% its not leaked yet.
Can actually still flash a rom ? Or does it stall somewhere in the process ?

I've tried looking and all the RUU are for older versions
Phone just rebooted and can no longer access recovery, get a white screen then boots into fastboot
Edit: Rebooted phone and recovery is back working, and just flashed ViperX 3.2.0, but stopped on installing gapps

Tgank you for all your help but I'm going to give up trying to fix it myself and hopefully someone better equipped than me can fix fit

should do the trick.

We need to know which stock system version you had to get the right kernel ideally or if you have a custom recovery you could go and flash a new rom which will have a kernel to go with it (depending on your hboot version).

I could be wrong but I think it charges when in custom recovery but not at the bootloader? Also you can mount the internal storage to your pc from custom recovery to copy a zip onto the phone.

Flash this recovery, your battery does NOT charge in that old recovery
http://db.tt/SPXdFfPw
Then flash the boot.img from the cm10 rom. Its inside the zip
Then you make a full wipe in the recovery and install cm10 and right after that the gapps file (all can be downloaded from the cm10 thread)
Reboot and done
Edit :
All flashing can be done with the toolkit

Right, Thanks. But do I place the downloaded recovery in the recovery folder in the kit files? I did that and i don't see new recovery in the toolkit. But I'm assuming that's not what we're supposed to do anyway...

Right, so I tried to flash the recovery from the fastboot folder.It tried to do that but battery was low. I'll deal with that, but just tell me, can I flash the rom and the boot.img the same way as that?

You can put files into the storage by booting into cwm recovery, selecting mount USB storage, and connecting it to your computer.
For how to flash ROMs, look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 second post.

Battery too low ?
Oke put this file inside the fastboot folder on the pc (you have the fastboot.exe file, should be in one of the folders in the toolkit dir)
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
Execute this file with the phone in the bootloader ! It will continuing to loop your bootloader and charge it little by little. Let it run for about 30 min and then flash again the recovery. The recovery name must be just "recovery.img" so rename it if needed

So after I've done that, How would I flash the rom, I can't mount sd storage through cwm because it says " uns error, no such file or directory" I formatted the usb earlier, could it have something to do with that? Is there any other way?

Thats because i told you to flash the new recovery first from the link i gave you. That one is able to mount the sdcard so you can copy the rom + gapps to it

[Q] Can't boot after failed root attempt

SOLVED
So today I decided I would try to install a custom OS/ROM whatever it's called on my HTC One X. I unlocked the bootloader successfully without any problems. Then I went on to root the phone, and this is where it all went wrong. I found a tutorial and followed it to the tiniest detail. I am unable to link to it because I am a new user. When my phone rebooted it went to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot screen. I left it there for 30 minutes and it still didn't move on. What do I do now? I am a super noob at this, and I admit that I am an idiot for not reading more up on it first, it just all seems so super complicated.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

No, no error, it said "Daemon launched successfully" or something along those lines, my phone turned off and turned back on to the HTC boot screen.

Ok, try this: if the phone is still on keep the power button pressed till it restarts and press also vol down button until you arenin the bootloader; if the device is off, enter bootloader keeping power and vol down button pressed... Now my suggestion is to flash a custom recovery and a custom rom, you will get root privileges and the phone will work again...
Sent from Somewhere Over The Rainbow...

If you are unlocked (you see it in bootloader) you can flash a custom recovery and a custom rom. Look up for your favorite Recovery and flash it.
Download the img File to directory where you have the fastboot files and run this code in command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
After it you can boot into Bootloader and turn to recovery to get access to phone and SD Card/flash Rom

Did you flash boot.img and erased the cache?

Okay, so I successfully flashed TWRP and launched into recovery mode with it. How I get the custom ROM files on my SD card, when I plug my phone into my computer with USB it doesn't show up in the drives section, so I can't open up the SD card.
Another thing is that with the latest version of TWRP for my phone touch doesn't work in the recovery mode. There's a version that does, but it says it doesn't have USB mount or something like that. What's the next step?

You need to mount sd card via recovery, and having the touchscreen working is better as it will be easier to move inside aroma installer... Use philz recovery (if you want a sense rom use 5.15.9, if you want kitkat use the last version), enter the recovery, plug the phone into pc, mount sdcard via recovery, copy the zip over it and follow the instructions to install rom... You can find the instructions in every rom thread op... Ask if you need more help
