My phone is not booting

Hello Guys,
I have a major problem with my HTC one X .. Let me tell u the story from the beginning. I was installing a ROM a specifically this one and I installed the kernel and all fine .. The phone booted and it was working perfectly but there was a problem with the keyboard that whenever it runs it crashed and I couldn't fix it. I said I will restore my old ROM that I saved with the recovery mood while I was installing the new one. I restored it and everything was restored perfectly. Then I got another ROM this one and I installed it ... I copied the zip file to the sdcard and then I restarted my phone in the fastboot mode to install the kernel and install the ROM as usual. I installed the kernel of the ROM using fastboot and then I entered to the recovery mood to install the ROM and complete my installation. BUT when I entered to the sdcard from the recovery mood I found nothing !! as if the sdcard has been formatted ... or as if someone deleted some files .. I couldn't find my ROM.zip though I am sure I copied it .. I couldn't find anything ... I tried to restore my old ROM and fix the issue but when I tried to restore I got no file found the ClockworkMod is not able to find the backup image as I am not able to find my backup image ... Now the phone is not booting and I don't have any access except to the fastboot mood and the ClockworkMod recovery. Is there anyways I can reach the sdcard to copy a ROM and to install the kernel to be able to boot .. .. or how can I boot and fix this issue. Please help me guys . ...

Ow first thing : enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device/usb diskdrive
When you mount the sdcard as a mass storage device in the recovery .... is there a sdcard\O dir ?
If so copy it all from that dir back to the root of the sdcard !

I can mount the sdcard from the recovery but I can't see it in my computer ..I can see it from the recovery only .. but It doesn't have the ROM .. so how can I copy data from my laptop to the sdcard

Then you might have pressed the wrong option in the recovery .... There are 2 sorts of mounting options in there.....what recovery do you have ?

Ok I am downloading it .. but don't u know a post of how I perfectly flash it because I don't wanna miss up more with my phone

Do this
Rename my download to recovery.img, put the file in your fastboot folder, put the phone in the bootloader. Open the command window in the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache

Thank you Mr Hofs all worked great I had access to the sdcard and I was able to flash a new ROM but now I have some problems ..
I flashed the cyngmod rom and it worked pefectly but when I install gapps the keyboard stopped working and many applications .. would u mind if u suggest me a good jb 4.2.1 ROM + gapps that u tested which stable and working perfectly .

I never tested a single CM10 but did you install gapps directly after installing the rom without reboot ? Otherwise try the CM10.1 seems pretty well in my opinion !

I installed CM 10.1 and I rebooted .. all was working great but I don't have google play or anything .. I rebooted to the recovery mood and then I installed the gapps .... that "they said" it should work perfectly and then I rebooted but they keyboard keep crashing and the googplay ... simply .. I can do nothing :S :S

Wipe, flash ROM, then without rebooting, flash GApps and reboot.

Same exact problem !!
here are the steps exactly
1- erased the cache
2- Installed the kernel
3- erased the cache again
then I went to recvoery mod
1- Install ROM
2- install gapps
3- reboot
when I rebooted keyboard is not running and it keeps crashing !! :S :S

Wiping cache will not do the trick. Use the wipe/factory reset option in recovery before installing rom and gapps.

I did .. I usually before I install the ROM I wipe
1- data/factory-reset
2- cache
3- delvik cache

Also wipe in mounts and storage
Format cache
Format data
Format system
To be sure and then install the rom.zip

[Q] endeavoru cannot flash recovery

I previously managed to flash clockwork and sentinel. Now my recovery is corrupt and I cannot flash the recovery (or boot) .img..
I get the error 0X3000 remote fail when I try fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the name of my ROM).
I cured this on the first install by fastboot erase cache. this now gives the error failed remote err )x 1900000
fastboot devices gives me the device name.
So my recovery is corrupt, and I want to flash a new recovery and then a new ROM.
Thanks

Managed to get recovery working but could not mount usb no drive E: error.
No backup either, even though i did one, files missing.
Tried to install zip, but lots of directories missing.

Recovery was clockworkMod (the version with chargimng and full USB).
I eventually rebooted my PC and could then erase cache, flash recovery again, mount USB from recovery and reflah boot, now alls well.
(Except no keyboard
So looks like the errors were PC related.

Ha..ha..okie...glad that its finally resolved

One thing, UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER then flash a custom recovery and a custom ROM.

1: unlock bootloader
2: get your main version number :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Take that number and go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
3: Download the matching nandroid backup and flash the boot.img and recovery.img
4: enter the recovery and copy the nand to the sdcard by enabling mass storage
5: make a full wipe in the recovery and restore the nandroid backup
6: reboot
If the recovery from the nandroid does not give you ums acces then flash this recovery first
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Enter it and enable mass storage, wait literally for a few minutes to let it pop up. Then copy the nand. And start over at point 3 !
Cheers

HTC One X Bricked.. Help Needed

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.

Try this, flash this recovery :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp21ubo10xetcvn/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Make a full wipe and install the rom.zip. and flash the boot.img from the rom.zip
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 !

Why are you flashing so many recoveries ?
Just flash Philz 5.15 for non kitkat roms or twrp2 for use with all roms. On those 2 recoveries all features work including touch on all hboot numbers. You don't need 2.4 at all !
And both recoveries support UMS inside the recovery. I think you only made it a bit hard on yourself this way. The rom (CM) didn't make your sdcard work again btw.....any rom does but it has to be installed all in the correct way
Sorry to say but your steps are a bit of a mess
I would have explained it like this....taking in mind that knowing fastboot is mandatory and common :
1: flash either Twrp2 or Philz 5.1.5 (for non kitkat roms)
2: enter the recovery and mount the sdcard in the mount menu, wait literally minutes to let the sdcard pop up
3: copy the desired rom
4: unmount and perform a full wipe (that means to wipe ALL except sdcard)
5: install the rom.zip
6: reboot to the bootloader and flash the boot.img from the desired rom
7: reboot
Done !

The problem with this was that when I mounted my sdcard nothing popped up. (I litterly waited 30 minutes) I explain it this way because when following other threads explaining how to "unbrick" your phone. I got a lot of issues during the proces. Like SD-card not mounting, fastboot not working, adb not working, touch screen not working, promises of recovery's that your device wil be recognized for usb sideload, ... I ran into a lot of problems and I had to figure it out myself how I had to unbrick my HTC because I forgot to take a back-up. And these were the steps I did.I know your explanation is more 'ideal" but sometimes people can't follow the ideal path because of issues/bugs/problems and that's where my thread comes in

If it doesn't pop up its a pc driver issue

For me it wasn't I had properly installed all drivers. it just said endeavoru on my devices. And i couldn't connect. But once I installed the TWRP recovery it showed HTC ONE X and it worked

The twrp did nothing, as i said .... it was a driver issue. Once you booted to the bootloader it got picked up and drivers were added/modified correctly. If the drivers were installed properly it should say MYHTC .....

@vsp33ddyv MAAAAAAAAAN you saved me!!! I soft bricked my dad's phone by accidentally flashing the recovery to the boot partition as well as the recovery partition so the stock ROM was overwritten by the recovery. I wasn't planning on flashing any ROMs so there was no rom zip on my sdcard. I downloaded CM11, tried sideloading it through adb but it kept saying it didn't recognize the device. I tried USB storage mounting but that didn't work either (no matter how long I waited). I would have NEVER guessed that all I needed to do was download that broken (I say broken because touch doesn't work so basically nothing works) TWRP recovery img!!!! @Mr Hofs, sir, you were wrong. It wasn't the drivers. ADB didn't recognize my device, I changed my recovery and BAM it's suddenly there. I had already rebooted the device a million times so it's not like the drivers suddenly decided to get installed (there were no notifications either).
So thank you thank you thank you SO DAMN MUCH!

Thank you very much.
If it hadn't been for your tutorial i would've had to throw the phone.
Many thanks.
