[Q] I'm worried I killed my phone

I decided earlier today that I'd try to root my one X, but I wound up screwing up to the point that I'm lost. I accidentally wiped the system while in recovery, and when I rebooted, it kept looping. By pressing the power/down button, I can get into the bootloader, and from there into recovery. In the recovery, I was able to look around using a file manager but only found empty folders.
I used adb push to try to get a rom onto the phone, but I'm not able to flash it. When I go to reboot, it informs me that there's no OS installed.
If anybody has any idea what I can do, it would be much appreciated.

im assuming you already unlocked your phone
1.Enter fastboot by holding power + volm down.
2.Select fastboot
3.plug in USB
4.flash recovery with the command: 'fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery here>
5.flash the boot.img that came with the ROM, usually it's located within the zip file
6.erase cache using command: 'fastboot erase cache'
7.select Hboot to return to main menu
8. go to recovery
9. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik from advanced options, format system from mounts and storage menu
10. in mounts and storage, select mount usb
11. copy over ROM zip
12. Install from ZIP
13. reboot system
PS. your phone is only bricked if it can't turn on. obviously it's not going to boot up if there is nothing to bootup, lol

Just ensure your recovery is a recent version, like clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, otherwise mounting won't work.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't entirely understand how to flash the recovery, however.
I assume I'm running the command on the computer. How do I know what to type in as the recovery?

Mate, did you even do your research before attempting any of this?
Anyway,
Make sure you got HTC sync installed, also Android SDK
1/ Open to a command prompt by going: start -> type in cmd
2/ browse to your folder containing fastboot and adb using the 'cd' command
e.g. My fastboot folder is located at "C:/htc/fastboot" so I would type: 'cd C:/htc/fastboot'
If you're using the one from SDK it could look like C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
3/ enter the commands -fastboot flash recovery ...., fastboot flash boot.... etc.

Not nearly as well as I should have. I learned the hard way I guess. Thanks for putting up with my cluelessness though.
I've done as you said, but when I tried to boot into the recovery, I got stuck on it looping the "htc quietly brilliant" screen.

You sure you flashed it Successfully?
and downloaded clockworkmod from here?

Could it be that I have a bad boot.img? I'm using one out of the renovate 8.1.0 ROM.

I was able to get my phone running again by following the video here --Nevermind, Can't post the link yet. Should anyone need it, send me a message--. Basically, I had to relock the bootloader and install the RUU.
Now, however, I'm trying again to root my phone, but whenever I try to unlock the bootloader, it still remains locked ("relocked" on the bootloader screen). I can't find anything about how to fix this. Have I lost the ability to root my phone?

That guide is for the One xl (the us version) as it says "evita" on the topic.. the international one x is "endeavoru". Which phone do you have? There are good guides on here. how to root and a very easy tool in the developement section.

Oh my....... never noticed. Please don't use Clockworkmod and instead use TWRP, you might brick

Boot loop - flashing via fastboot works, adb does not.

Okay, so I tried my best to search the forums and read the Q+A first, but the suggestions I've found so far didn't help me solve my problem.
I started with Hasoon200's tool kit and successfully unlocked the boot loader. Then, however, I got stuck at installing CWRM (it just wouldn't boot into recovery after installing). So I gave it a try with the "One X one Click" tool kit. I downloaded the n3okernel v34 and -modules as well as the newest nightly build of Cyanogen Mod (cm-10.1-20130414-NIGHTLY-endeavoru).
Now my HOX is caught in a boot loop. No matter which option I choose (fastboot / hboot, recovery, factory reset), it'll always go to the white HTC screen and stay there. Since Q+A's Q11 mentions it: yes, the last time I could boot into the OS (then still the stock image) I disabled fast boot in power settings.
Currently I can only access my HOX via fastboot, I already got a stock image and extracted the boot + recovery images, which I then flashed with the fastboot utility, as suggested in the Q+A's Q9. I erased the cache and rebooted to no avail. I also tried the firmware executable (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_DE_1.26.207.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251288_signed) to no avail.
Q+A's Q15 suggests sideloading via adb, but adb won't recognize my device.
I've also relocked the bootloader, this was suggested in another online ressource after flashing the stock boot+recovery images.
The phones HBOOT Version is 1.36.0000. I've noticed a different radio version than the one mentioned in my downloaded RUU; phone says 5.1204.162.29, downloaded file says 1.1204.90.13. I've not yet found a working download link with the right version number.
Please help.

Unlock it, make a full wipe in the custom recovery, install cm10.1, install gapps, flash the boot.img from the cm10.1 Rom and reboot.
So
Unlock it, flash a custom recovery (if you havent got one). If you still have trouble entering it you do this command in the bootloader
Fastboot erase cache

Unlocking the bootloader works, but I'm not able to enter the recovery mode. It only shows a black screen (see attached picture).
EDIT: ok, wait... after flashing the clockwork recovery, I'm now getting into recovery mode. Will now try the next steps you suggested and give feedback later. Thanks a lot so far!

Press the Power and Volume down buttons which will take you the the hboot screen. From there select fastboot and flash a custom recovery like CWM via fastboot.
Now select hboot again and then select recovery!

Okay, so I successfully flashed CWM. I'm now able to boot into recovery. I also succeeded in flashing a boot.img which i took from cm-10.1-20130414-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip
c:\One\One\Data>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (4960 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.684s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Format partition LNX done
OKAY [ 0.498s]
finished. total time: 1.186s
Now - when selecting hboot - the phone gets to another screen, the one where it displays the "HTC One" logo; I tried flashing the CM-image using fastboot (adb still doesn't work), but got following error message:
c:\One\One\Data>fastboot flash /sdcard update.zip
sending '/sdcard' (200098 KB)...
OKAY [ 25.507s]
writing '/sdcard'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 25.716s
So close, yet so far...

So you have a working CWM installed right?
After flashing the boot.img... do "fastboot erase cache"
now go to CWM(recovery) and mount your sd card... copy the CM10ROM.zip and the gapps.zip to your HOX...
after that select wipe data and then wipe dalvic and cache...
Now select install zip from SD and install the ROM and then the gapps... reboot!

The problem is that I can't - or could'nt - transfer files any other way than using fastboot. However, I've now flashed Team Win TWRP2, and finally I'm able to access my phone over adb or just mount it and access it via explorer. Phew.

FINALLY!
So, if another noob like me finds this thread in the future...
After installing the TWRP2 recovery with flashboot flash twrp2.img, then booting into recovery and mounting my device, I was able to copy the CM-ROM-zip file onto the HOX. Then I rebooted into fastboot again and flashed the boot.img from aforementioned zip-file using "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
Booted again, selected the recovery system, installed ROM from zip file.
I'm getting too old for this ****. Almost had a heart attack when I thought I had bricked my phone. Thanks everyone for holding my hand, I appreciate it.

Good mate !
CASE CLOSED !

[Q] TIFU going from GPE5.1 Back to Sense, Please help :)

So, the instructions are below pulled out of the Back to Sense thread.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523) got to the end of what i've pasted no problems......
Flash 1.54.401.5 firmware from Here
Fastboot Method
Boot device into FASTBOOT mode either by adb reboot bootloader or Vol down & Power (device should show FASTBOOT USB)
Make sure the firmware file to be flashed is in your android folder
Open a command prompt from the folder where fastboot resides. (Hold shift key/right click in the dir to get menu - left click on Open Command Prompt here.)
Run the following commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this will reboot the device into RUU mode in preparation for zip flashing)
fastboot flash zip 1.54.401.5-W_Splash.zip (the name of the zip should EXACTLY match the name of the file you're flashing)
It will fail the first time. Run the same command AGAIN until you see it has flashed successfully.
I repeat - Run the same command TWICE until you see it has flashed successfully.
Once complete, type fastboot reboot-bootloader The hyphen is required.
Everything went well until the after that... I stuffed up royally.. my failure is below...

It would seem that what i've gone and done is flashed TWRP into the Boot Partition or something? now whenever i boot up, it won't show the fastboot screen, it goes straight to "entering recovery" and sits there forever.... one thing worth noting, i can see the internal storage(well some of it) the device is recognized in windows and then internal storage is 10.5gb free out of 10.6gb, Navigating to the internal directory shows 3 directories: 0, obb, and TWRP. 0 is a neverending folder. every 3rd layer deep click it shows the root directory again...
Help would be very very much appreciated!
cheers!
EDIT: Sorted! It turns out i'm an idiot and wasn't pushing volume down fast enough to get into bootloader. Sorry guys!!!!

If the bootloader was overwritten, damaged or corrupted, the phone would be bricked, and the screen would not come on at all.
This is the second post on the first page where the OP solved their own issue. You guys are getting good at fixing your own problems.

Error while local upgrading

I did local upgrade of Beta 2 from stable firmware, but I am stuck on boot screen, If i choose reboot option it is rebooting to the same menu.
It is showing this:
Boot Reason: fs_mgr_mount_all
Unablt to parse kernel log. For more informaton,
adb pull /mnt/vendor/op2/rbr_log
or pull op2.img
Please help if you know the solution

I would say some firmware mismatch.
Try switch to other slot and boot, then reinstall update.

I somehow managed to reboot it to the version from which I Flashed the update file. (all data as it is)
but now I'm afraid to flash it again as I may lose my data...
How I rebooted:
Menu showed me three options : Fastboot, Recovery, Exit
I went in to the fastboot mode couple of times and then I booted into recovery mode, then I rebooted the device and it got flashed to normal firmware with data

The problem is with the update package, Using the computer, install fastboot driver then restart phone in fastboot mode then open command prompt and type "fastboot --set-active=b" or "fastboot --set-active=b" type without quotes and then reboot. Just type one command and restart if the first one does not work then type second. Below is the result of the command.
Code:
C:\Users\>fastboot --set-active=b
Setting current slot to 'b' OKAY [ 0.047s]

Bricked? Bootloop to TWRP > Stuck on TWRP Logo > Fastboot not recognized > No way out?

Hope you guys can give me a hand and get me out of this situation...
What I am using
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro with:
- Pixel Experience Rom
- TWRP 3.5.2_9
Windows 10 21H1 x64
What happend
- Updating Pixel Experience Rom failed
Downloaded update
Booted into Recovery (battery 85%)
Recovery stuck on Logo
After 30m I tried to reboot to system (thinking update failed or never started)
Reboot in to Recovery
Stuck on Logo
What I tried
- I tried XiaomiFastBootADBTools (latest version)
Device is recognized in Recovery mode
In recovery I can't do anything
Rebooting to System from here results in reboot into Recovery
Booting to fastboot works, but device is not recognized
Re-installed drivers, but no luck
Still recognized in Recovery mode
Still NOT recognized in Fastboot mode
Windows Device Manager > The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
And turning of phone is not possible, just goes back to Recovery
Don't know what else to do. I have installed all the drivers I could find. Even used Snappy Driver, but nothing seems to do the trick when the phone goes into Fastboot mode. PC just doesn't recognize it.
So can't do anything in Recovery mode; just watching the TWRP logo.
And device is not recognized in fastboot mode; forgot usb debugging?
And can't boot into system to change that, because of bootloop to Recovery.
So, am I **** out of luck and bricked my phone?

While in Recovery mode (when the phone is still recognized) type in adb window the command - adb reboot bootloader. Phone should boot to Fastboot mode and see if it's still recognized.

Yeah, that works. Same as with XiaomiADBFastbootTools. But after that the problem starts (remains).
When I get into Fastboot the Device Manager shows the phone as Other Devices > Android with an exclamation mark and the message that the drivers are not installed. I'm missing a driver, but I don't know which one. Guessing Xiaomi USB driver? Finally fixed that issue with another round of googling. I read that you just need net "Mi unlock Tool". So tyring to find that one:
- https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
results in a download that doesn't contain the files needed.... No driver_install and no miflash_unlock.exe etc.
pretty weird, found another page https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html with previous versions
- 4.5.813.51 won't download... really xiaomi, your site sucks.
- 4.5.707.49 finally downloads and seems to work.
So updated the driver by pointing to that folder. Worked like a charm.

What about trying to flash latest fastboot rom with MiFlash since fastboot now works?

Absolutely awesome! We did it!
I'm no expert in all this, so I had to use a guide to flash a fastboot rom with the Mi Flash Tool. I used this guide: https://www.thecustomdroid.com/install-miui-fastboot-rom-using-miflash-tool-xiaomi/
That was all straight forward untill I came to step 6; flashing the actual rom with the Mi Flash Tool.
The tool just wouldn't recognize my phone when in Fastboot mode. Even after the driver install popup.
- after pressing refresh phone disconnected.
- tried 3 different usb ports (read online that this could be the issue)
- tried 3 different cables...
The third cable (Ugreen cable) worked! Although it only worked on a usb 3.0 port strangely enough.
I used the "clean all" option and flashed the latest MIUI global fastboot rom for the RMN5.
Flashing process was a bit strange, because the tool didn't provide me with the same information shown in the guide, but it flashed a couple of things to 100% completeness and after that it kept counting up and showing $pause. Not much later the phone started to boot into MIUI and everything was normal.
Enabled dev options and usb debugging.
Re-flashed latest twrp recovery just to be sure.
And it's all working fine again.
Really, thank you for your help! It's much appreciated!

Glad that it worked out. Sometimes even the most untraditional methods work like usb 3.0 and the third cable.
Still all went good and that's the good news. Enjoy

Unfortunately, the problem has returned.
The first time flashing Orange Fox Recovery was no problem. I could boot to Recovery. I installed Pixel Experience Plus again. That all worked fine.
Today I wanted to try out ArrowOS. And this is what I did:
- loaded the .zip file on the phone
- turned off the phone
- booted into recovery
- stuck on recovery logo screen...
- after this the phone bootloops to recovery again as before...
In Recovery and Fastboot the phone is still recognized by the PC. But in Recovery I can't do anything.
So in Fastboot mode I tried re-flashing Orange Fox , but same result. Flashing seems successful but can't get past the Recovery logo. I even tried flashing TWRP, but also same result.
I can probably redo all the steps in my previous post, but once I boot to recovery the phone is done for it seems.
Any ideas?

Hmm, I don't know why is that happening. It's usually the custom recovery's fault in such case except if Pixel rom comes with its own prebuilt recovery that overwrites the one you installed.
I suggest you first to try to boot into system to see if it will work - in fastboot mode type the command fastboot reboot.
If this doesn't work then flash again fastboot rom to get the phone in working condition and after installing twrp FORMAT DATA in twrp Wipe section. Then install rom again.
Good luck, zaqm!

Don't know why, but it's working. Here's what I did:
- In Fastboot Mode > fastboot reboot > booted to recovery, so no luck there
- Used MiFlash to flash the fastboot rom again (clean all)
- Setup the phone etc. and activated usb debugging
- Flashed TWRP
- Booted to TWRP
- Format Data
- Rebooted to TWRP
- Mounted Storage, uploaded ArrowOS.zip and installed it
- Wiped Dalvik/Cache
- Booted ArrowOS, and success!
Have done several reboots to (and from) system/recovery and it just works again, as it should.
I think the Format Data in TWRP did the trick. I remember in Orange Fox this all was a bit unclear; I'm just not used to Orange Fox, always used TWRP. So my bad for not correctly flashing the rom probably.
Again, thank you very much for your help! Have a great day! And let's hope this is the end of this issue haha.

I think the Format Data in TWRP did the trick. I remember in Orange Fox this all was a bit unclear; I'm just not used to Orange Fox, always used TWRP. So my bad for not correctly flashing the rom probably.
Again, thank you very much for your help! Have a great day! And let's hope this is the end of this issue haha.

Maybe some glitch of OrangeFox recovery and yeah, let's hope that this issue won't appear anymore.
All the best, zaqm!
