HTC One X : The Disaster Fix

Hye XDAs members..I want to share my experience with you..
I have been through with a lot of trouble since I made something, kinda stupid with my phone..
The 'disaster', than I mention on the title is, when:
1. I have made full wipe
2. No ROM on sdcard (forgot to place it!)
3. I can't restore my nandroid backup due to md5 mismatch error!
4. Bootloop
So with that problem, means that I can't open my sdcard to place any ROM in it. Bootloop is not a big issue here, but the real deal was I can't have the access to my sdcard. Then the trouble begin when I can't boot, and stuck on HTC boot screen.
This was what I have done, to recover my phone. Hope I can help someone out there that having the same problem as I am. I have access to fastboot, so:
1. I flash a custom recovery, in my case I chose ClockwordMod Touch Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
2. After that, I put in these command to made my sdcard opened:
adb devices
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sys/devices/platform/fsl-tegra-udc/gadget/lun0/file
3. The sdcard was opened successfully! I copied my choice of custom ROM, which was Charmeleon v5.0.0, to the sdcard. I also copied Super Wipe script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
4. After that I go to fastboot, flash the kernel, and went back straight to the recovery. I flashed the Super Wipe script, and then I flashed the ROM, reboot.
5. Finally I have my phone fully functioning again!
This tutorial was done in Windows 7. I have tried this on Windows 8 but unfortunately Windows 8 failed to recognize the commands due to lack of HTC drivers support. I haven't tried it on Ubuntu, yet.
Before you make everything, make sure you have charge you battery fully!
So I hope this thread here will be able to help somebody. Finally thanks to everybody here. Have a good day mates!

Why would anybody use the adb commands to copy anything to the SD card, it is already included/enabled (mount -->mount USB memory-->done) in the new recovery

I will definitely DO THAT, if I can..in my case, I CAN'T..
That is why I wrote this, for those who can't..I don't know what is wrong with cwm, but because of that error, I have to do all of that command..

What can cause that:
1. You didnt instal the latest CWM
2. You didnt mount the right thing ...
3. You have bad drivers ...
But it is most probably the first one...

I have install the latest CWM..I think it was caused by the Windows 8, that didn't support HTC drivers..I tried this on my wife laptop which is powered by Windows 7, and wal-lah, the drivers installed successfully..Windows 8 Release Preview still need some final touch before it goes to the market..I love Windows 8, but have to stick with Windows 7 after this case happened to me..
I don't really care if I haven't flash the latest CMW, what I do care is about people out there who have the same problem as I am..I just wanted to help them, and myself..

My thoughts exactly.
That supports the theory above that the incorrect CWM was installed.
The previous versions couldn't mount the USB Storage, but as of the latest CWM, you can.
While that was a cool trick, I think installing the lastest CWM recovery image would have solved a lot of these issues from the get-go

Recovery
Hello,
After the fastboot command did you then reboot into recovery?
Once in recovery, my windows XP does not see any device attached. Should I see a device attached while in recovery?
If I should, where can I get this driver? I tried installing PDA.net to get this, but still there is no device found, and so no way to use ADB.
I'm stuck because I have to send system modules after sending a boot.img, but there is no way.
Edit: Ahh I fixed this by updating my CWM from 5.8.3.1 to 5.8.4.0!

You need to push the correct boot.IMG via fastboot before you flash the Rom that's usually cause of bootloop plus not clearing cache

You have to flash the kernel of your ROM from bootloader..
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Then try to restore your backup..

Factory Data Reset and Hard Reset problem

the idea that i want to reset my tab is that my internal storage is just 500mb out of 16 gb. I try to uninstall some applications but it wont actually.. I try to reset but it`s untouchable.. So i try the hard reset but it has an error too.. "MDM does not allow factoryReset. Phone will REBOOT automatically" dfq!..
I don`t know the problem.. I just buy this tab at the market and used it .. nothing else.. its not rooted or no custom rom apply , or kernel .. just the stockrom
I really appreciate your help REALLY PLEASE

We need more info .
Samsung Galaxy tab s ?
T700,T705,T800,T805 ?
Google "Odin" and how to use it to flash the stock firmware or CF-Auto-root for your device specifics .if you end up rooting it than use Flashify to flashed TWRP so you can format internal storage to solve the issue.

Im so sorry..im searching some custom rom for Galaxy Tab S 10.5 to completely reset my tablet... for the ODIN, still stucked up .. i think its because i upgraded the firmware using samsung kies yesterday.. and now i dont really know what to do... do you have any custom rom for galaxy s tab 10.5 ?

You can't ROM it unless you have root.
Unplug it and power it up .
Have you tried the stock firmware Odin file in the development section .download and extract below tar.file and run it in Odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800372
Try above Odin file before we
start over.
1: Uninstall kies from your computer
2: grab USB drivers for your device from Samsung's website
3: on your computer go to "device manager" and look under "portable devices" and "other devices" to delete/uninstall drivers and restart computer.
4: connect your tablet and install downloaded drivers from Samsung .eject tablet when finished
5: re download the CF-Auto-root and extract it for use again(delete all previous root/drivers so you don't mix them up)
6: boot into download mode with button combo and re connect your phone to computer and start Odin.
7: navigate to extracted
CF-Auto-root location and open file in AP or PDA slot and run it again.
Seriously no matter what you do and what the screen says ,you can still end up with a partial/bad download.oh and kies is no good cause it knows that your device is up to date.

Give it time to boot,if it don't boot after ten minutes than do the button combo till you get into download mode and start over yet again as far as Odin the stock file and than TWRP .don't wipe right after flashing TWRP ,let it boot first than boot into recovery with another app called "reboot" purple with a yellow lightning bolt is the apps icon

Get it to boot after root and custom recovery and then just format the internal SD card and then I'll take care of your situation

first of all sorry for my bad english :3 im not that good enough...
i follow your instructions properly... but the last step you said.. "format the internal sd card" i accidentally format the internal with the system...
so i assume that is the problem
the system is only 54 MB and the data is 0 mb.. and now im stuck in the boot logo and i dont have any backup .. im so noob..
i really appreciate your help sir..

Did you use this method

Try to be as specific to what exactly you have tried.
Why are you trying to wipe the EFS ?
If it's in fact a T-Mobile Note 4 than the Odin method should work with no problem assuming you follow the instructions fully.

Can't you boot into TWRP from the bootloader, using the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select 'Boot to recovery mode'?

Assuming you can, it should be no problem to download a non-Marshmallow ROM of your choosing to flash from within TWRP.

rootable, RIC disabled, 32..2.A.0.224 (6.0.1) kernel including TWRP and DRM fix

Here's a kernel extracted from
Operator: Customized IT
Network: GENERIC
Version: 32.2.A.0.224 / R9C
ftf
and patched using Tobias Waldvogel's tool from this thread.
Posted here for convenience only. I will not provide any support if anything goes wrong. Should only be used with 32_2_A_0_224 system rom on single sim E6553
All thanks should go to Tobias for his excellent work on his kernel patching tool and to those who provided the utilities that are included.
As always, you flash at your own risk.
Flash in the usual way:
1. unzip boot image. Unzipped file is called boot-patched-RIC-disabled_ivy_32_2_A_0_224.img
2. make sure you have the fastboot utility installed on your computer.
3. boot phone into fastboot mode
4. TEST: fastboot boot boot-patched-RIC-disabled_ivy_32_2_A_0_224.img
5. ONLY IF test successful (Phone boots from image, TWRP can be selected after yellow light, system boots and no issues, flash:
- fastboot flash boot boot-patched-RIC-disabled_ivy_32_2_A_0_224.img

Please, port it for dual sim! E6533
Sent from my E6533 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Running
The kernel is running on My E6553 with 6.0.1. Thanks a lot.

"Too many links" could indicate a USB driver or USB cable issue, but certainly DON'T attempt to flash until you can reliably boot from the image.
You could try a different image to see if there's something wrong with the one I posted?
What about other fastboot commands? Do they work?
devices list all connected devices
continue continue with autoboot
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot back into bootloader

I don't use the tool kit. But the best way I have found to unroot is flash factory firmware, or just install pure Nexus again and that will remove your root and twrp

That no command is the stock recovery. When u UN rooted it prob removed your TWRP
Press and hold Power, then tap Volume Up once, then release Power. This will display the Recovery Mode menu. The first item in the list that is highlighted will give you the option to reboot the system.

I would download the latest ADB and fastboot boot SDK tools in your computer. Then you go to Google and download the latest factory image un zip it and use a note editor on the bat file inside remove the- w that will keep all your data. Hook phone to computer open a command window and type in adb devices that will bring your device number showing u the computer recognizes the phone. Then type in Adb reboot bootloader, that will put you in bootloader mode. You're computer will be in fastboot mode. Type in fastboot devices to make sure computer sees your pixel. Then you can just open that factory image you un zipped and double click it. It will install the factory image without removing your data

I would download the latest ADB and fastboot boot SDK tools in your computer. Then you go to Google and download the latest factory image un zip it and use a note editor on the bat file inside remove the- w that will keep all your data. Hook phone to computer open a command window and type in adb devices that will bring your device number showing u the computer recognizes the phone. Then type in Adb reboot bootloader, that will put you in bootloader mode. You're computer will be in fastboot mode. Type in fastboot devices to make sure computer sees your pixel. Then you can just open that factory image you un zipped and double click it. It will install the factory image without removing your data

You probably can do the same thing with your Android tool kit. But I have never used it. So maybe Someone else can chime in, that knows how to use that tool

And I don't think you are bricked your tool kit is obviously seeing your Pixel. So once you get Android SDK tools set up u will be able to fix it no problem

You don't need the whole sdk. Get adb and fastboot beliw from Google. Download the full factory image, extract it into the folder from below. Power off the phone, then hold power and vol down and get into bootloader.
Run the flashall bat file.

I had a hard time setting it up on Windows 10 the first time. And part of my problem was having downloaded the minimal adb and then downloading it again from Google. I had a heck of a time removing the minimal to get it working. That link I sent you tells you what you need to install. You only need a few things.
