[Q] rom issue

Hello, I've recently acquired the htc one x from a friend, i came from the sensation. I was trying to do some rom jumping today and put myself into a bit of a pickle.
what you alls need to know is that i accidently deleted the back ups. and now i have no roms to flash and none installed. I can get to twrp and mount to usb, but on the computer end it says i need to format disk before I can do anything. Since that's not really an option I seem to be stuck with no roms and no way to get a rom on it. I would like to put clean 5.0 back on and stick with that until i can better grasp the adb process on the one x. Any help would be appreciated, thank you -

if the pc tells you that you have to format the sdcard you should do it, better than nothing mate...

you won't be stuck by deleting twrp, you can always flash any custom recovery from fastboot

with that i was able to get the rom onto it and install. however now I am in cleanrom 5.0 and I'm recieving .process and .phone failures and re boots. any idea how to proceed?

have you flashed the rom's boot.img?

it claims it does it for you at the end? unfortunately i wanted to avoid that whole thing which is what got me into this mess.

what are you talking about!? if you flash a rom (clean 5.0 in your case) you will also have to flash its boot.img to get it running!

at the end of the rom installation process it says it flashes the boot image for you.

never heard of an automatic flash of boot.img, it couldn't be possible cause you are not S-OFF

o ok. i've managed to flash it via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786
unfortunately it didn't help that i got the phone and it had already been rooted, would have rather done it myself.
thank yo for all of your help!

!??!?!??!!??!? could you speak english please? i cannot help you if i do not understand your problem

ok, i'll take it from the top- turn on phone into bootloader. I can no longer get to recovery. I have tried flashing twrp to no avail. when i reset it will go to cleanrom and bootloop. I need to completely reset and re install recovery and rom. just can't get it working for some reason

fastboot erase cache
Go recovery and erase the cache and dalvik cache.

i would but now recovery goes to boot loop, even after i try and flash recovery (twrp and cwm)

fastboot erase cache

i have erased cashe in fastboot through one x tool kit and fastboot flasher. now it goes to the rom and the rom crashes and re boots. :/ how can i wipe and re install rom through fastboot?
also if i click recovery it goes to white htc screen with red dev warning text, then loops

I don't know. I don't know what your tool is doing.
Have you tried reflashing latest recovery? I recommend clockworkmod 5.8.4.0.

is that for gsm ? mine is att version, dk if that matters here

Oh FFS.
You're asking questions about a dual core snapdragon phone in a forum for a quad core Tegra3 based phone and you only wonder out loud now whether that matters?
Yes. Yes it does.
Now go ask questions about your phone in the forum for your phone before you break it.

Same issue here on the Telus T989D. Any solutions without using cwm?

You can always try the manual method if your brave and familiar with the terminal. Go to Team Win's for our phone here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/101. Download the .IMG file and follow the instructions under Download - Recovery Image Method (using dd): Not hard but doublecheck your typing before hitting enter or you'll brick your phone.
I'm not responsible for any actions taken because of this post. Good Luck, its worth it in the long run.

One small problem with that.....
Hi guys. I'm having a somewhat similar issue, but it's a little more problematic than that. I was in mid-flash when I unfortunately learned that any attempt to work with the cache resulted in an immediate freeze-up. From what little of the log I've seen, it's trying to tell me that the cache partition is read-only. Any attempt to unmount, wipe, or work with the cache in any way will result in an immediate lock up. This is *after* wiping the system and data partitions. I have been able to get TWRP to start correctly twice in the last 40 times I've tried to boot up the phone.
Question: I noticed that TWRP has a button where you can enter a terminal command. I don't have adb set up yet on this machine, since reloading it. I would imagine the answer would be 'no', but is it possible to put a different recovery image on the sd card, then use TWRP's terminal button to issue the command to flash it, or would that make matters worse? Or am I going to have to set up adb and odin again on another machine and use that? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Side note: I should've stayed with CWM non-touch. :crying:

This worked for me:
reflash CWM, flash superwipe, install TWRP through goomanager.

i had the same problem on my t989 and this odin flashed version posted here worked fine

I flashed that version through Odin and it seems to be running just fine. I wiped caches and now TWRP appears to be working normally :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Wow I guess I didnt read the critical part where your stuck on the recovery boot screen so the attachment below wont help.... JUMP DOWN TO POST #21 AND FOLLOW IT TO RECTIFY THE GETTING STUCK ISSUE
Here, try this file guys. Someone over in the Jedi threads made a CWM flashable TWRP zip. You can thank me for bringing it to your attention if you want, but I did not create this ( I just clicked on the attachment paperclip for the thread and browsed through all the attachments because I knew I saw it somewhere in the development section...)
I also checked TWRP's own website and for the Hercules, v.2.3.1.1 is the latest version supported for our device so far but I only found 2.3.0.0 packed in a recovery flashable form.
Just flash it via CWM like any other zip and once its done it'll reboot your device automatically to system, so just reboot it back to recovery to make sure it worked. It did for me when I did awhile back with v.2.2.2.0 and I just used the below file to flash and update it in TWRP to v.2.3.0.0
Hope it helps

Same as OP. I have never re-flashed CWM. This was my first time trying TWRP. I am looking for instructions to either...
Re-flash CWM
Re-install a version to TWRP that works
Thanks!

Currently the non-functioning TWRP. I tried flashing CWM from the Rom Manager app, but that froze too. Looking for a reliable fix. I do not have a preference for recovery.

If you have either I guess it doesn't really matter. Just install/flash the attached file below just like you would any other rom via your recovery.
After it installs reboot back into recovery and you will see the old recovery replaced with the latest TWRP for the T989.
Lemme know if this works for ya.

[Q] help!

ok...so I just got the htc one x from att tonight...i followed the guide and unlocked the bootloader, then flashed twrp v2.3.1.0 and proceeded to try and flash viperx 2.6. first thing i did is use fastboot to flash the boot.img, then i went into recovery and flashed the rom. the process of flashing the rom was extremely fast which seemed a little suspicious..when it went to reboot afterwards i keep getting the htc screen with the red letters that you get when it is loading into recovery. it freezes at that point. i tried to flash a different rom at this point: Magnolia x, i did it the same way...flashed the boot.img via fastboot then flashed the rom in recovery, this time i get an error saying "Error in /sdcard/magnolia_x_1_0.zip (status 1)
Error flashing zip...
updating partition details...
failed
like a jackass i didn't make a backup of the stock in twrp. if anyone has any suggestions i'd be extremely grateful. oh...and when i try to flash a new recovery via fastboot it freezes when loading the recovery and i have to reflash twrp. so twrp is the only recovery that i can have flashed on the phone. i know i'm a dumbass. any help would be appreciated. i'll even welcome some flaming if it leads to me getting a working phone. : )

Phone from AT&T ? dual-core phone ?
Do not flash anything from here, you are in the international quad-core phone forum.
Please go to the AT&T , ROGERS forum !
I'm hoping for you that you did not bricked the phone doing all this !!!!

thank you very very much. solved everything. i didn't even realize there was a specific thread for international vs att/bell. solved everything.

Good to hear ! Have fun with it :thumbup:

[Q] Recoveries (CWM, TWRP, stock) not working after JB4.2 update

Hi,
I've never posted here before because I've always been able to find info via searches up until this point, but it seems I am the only one who's had this problem?
THE PROBLEM:
I upgraded to JB 4.2 this morning on my GSM Galaxy Nexus. I had CWM recovery. I've never had a problem with it before. I needed to re-root my device so I tried using the tool found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310) and various other methods. None worked.
Furthermore, I noticed that every time I went into recovery it just showed the android lying on his back with a red error symbol above him. I tried re-flashing CWM recovery, then tried TWRP recovery, then even tried re-flashing stock recovery, and all of them give the same result.
Can anyone shed some light on this situation for me? I'm an app developer and I need to have my phone rooted (and I'd like to get the recovery sorted out too), but unfortunately I'm relatively noob when it comes to the inner workings of android.
Any help would be much appreciated!

How are you flashing the recoveries? Fastboot? I had to go back to 4.1, flashing latest recovery with fastboot, and then flash a custom/stock 4.2 using the recovery to achieve root on 4.2.

Yeah I used fastboot, and I believe that toolkit uses it as well. Did you have the same problem as me?
How did your method work? Did 4.2 make changes to the fastboot, which is what you were getting around? I don't understand why that's a problem that other people don't seem to be having.

Can't flash a recovery ROM to HTC One Verizon

I might be doing something wrong but I can't flash any recovery ROMs to my HTC One. I used rumrunner S-off today and gained root access with my stock ROM. I tried using command prompt to flash a TWRP recovery ROM, and it only worked once but now whenever I try to do it it says either "cannot load image" or gives me a partition error.
I tried going into recovery with the one I flashed and when it says entering recovery mode it either goes into a continuous reboot cycle or proceeds to the lockscreen. I tried using flashify today too and it says my device isn't compatible with any of the recovery ROMs.
Please help, I'm so frustrated and all I want to do is flash Android Revolution to my HTC! Also, was I supposed to factory reset my phone before all this? Because I still have all my apps, photos, data, etc.
P.S. I'm a noob at this stuff so I might be doing something wrong.

Try Flashify from the play store. Put the recovery on the Flashify app and flash if.

we will need more information about what all you've been trying and the results.
s-off was successful?
bootloader locked/unlocked?
what are you typing into the cmd prompt?
result from that cmd?
where did you get the recovery from? are you sure it's for the vzw htc one?

S-off was successful.
Bootloader is unlocked (And somehow the phone became rooted in the process)

Got the recovery from ClockWork Mod - It is Verizon HTC One version
Thank you guys for your concern but I figured it all out. I used an all-in-one toolkit and it flashed my recovery without a problem. Now I have a Nandroid backup for stock rooted ROM, and flashed BoneStock onto my device! It is all working great and my battery life rocks!

OK first off make sure the recovery you are trying to flash ends in m7vzw.img second, Flashify doesn't work for everyone so you might have to do it from adb on your computer. And finally, there is no android revolution rom for the Verizon htc one.

The developer of Flashify has a thread in Android developing and hacking/ apps and games / Flashify. Sometimes these threads have updates posted before the play store does. Start at the back of the thread and read toward the beginning,find the latest info faster (about a 25 page thread).

You should try to do these things without using all-in-one kits. It's best to know what was done in case something goes wrong in the future. My guess is you were most likely trying to flash the wrong recovery.
Well, at least you're up and running!

Thank you for the tip, I will remember that the next time I flash a recovery to something. It was the correct recovery, but for some reason the fastboot and adb wouldn't flash it. Maybe I just needed a reboot of pc or something...

Had the same issue after s-off with twrp. Ended up flashing cwm touch instead and it works just as well. Although I do miss twrp.
