you need to have the recovery.img file and the SDK set correctly on your system, do the following:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img

He's asking why flashing ROMs fail WITHIN recovery, which then you can assume that he already got recovery working.

I agree, but make sure you actually have the international One X and not the Evita dual core firstly..

Not true. I've been using TWRP for around a year now on various devices and haven't one had a single problem flashing anything. It's better than cwm in every way

it depends on points of view i've nothing against TWRP, i use it on my Transformer and it is pretty good, better layout and view of the raw CWM but on the HOX i prefer using the CWM, i would love to see a port of the best recovery out there, the 4EXT

It is the Evita version, on ATT. I decided to RUU it and start from scratch. this time however i am going to use Hasoon2000's all in one kit instead of the traditional method. ill post an update in a little bit to see if the roms will successfully flash second time around

Ok so after re unlocking the bootloader and re rooting the phone. TWRP v2.3.1.0 still fails to flash roms. which doesnt make sense because it was able to flash superuser. does anyone have an explanation for this or do i have to flash CWM?

Update: was able to successfully flash CM10. must have just been those particular ROMs.

You might want to check out the EVITA forums, then. This one is for ENDEAVORU.
Advice and software you find here is likely to be wrong.

I know this thread is old but im having EXACTLY the same problem. and i looked in the Evita section and theres nothing. i have the At&t version too but the only rom i can seem to install is cm10. ive re flashed several versions of twrp and still the same thing happens. ive recently s-offed my device and im wondering if thats the reason for my troubles. did relocking and running the RUU solve your problems? can you flash other roms now or still only cm10?

S-on and need to get back to stock for warranty

If I install a rom that does not have root will that do the trick? Can someone give me a link please

Used something similar myself

Just run whatever ruu you need and send it in...
I've sent in multiple HTC devices that was s-off, still shown unlocked and tampered. Hell I've sent an M7 with android revolution, custom splash and custom boot animation, and GE bootloader still on it. (Bootloader was black). They've never rejected me yet

Think you need to read it again. He is S-ON so he can't run any ruu, and not that there are many either ! Have you seem a 2.22.401 ruu for instance ?
Nope.....
@ O.P
For s-on devices i suggest this
Method 1:
Return to the official stock rom via a stock nandroid backup and flash the stock recovery.
The bootloader will say unlocked and you can only get it to say RELOCKED.
Method 2:
Flash a stock rom and recovery and perform sunshine to s-off the device and then return it to full stock and with s-off you can also turn the bootloader to LOCKED.

Brother. Read mine again. I said whatever ruu "you need".
I didn't say any old ruu
However I do thank you for clarifying. I should have made it more clear to use the one specific to his carrier and device.

No problem. I also read fast. But "international" ruu's are very rare......it's easier to find a stock backup than a ruu these days

Help with s-off and unbranding

Hi everyone ,
Here is my problem, I bought a french htc one m8 with orange carrier, I unlocked my bootloader and installed phil's touch recovery and then I flashed skydragon rom 4.4.2 with htc sense 6 but now I would like to flash the last skydragon lollipop but here's my problem , I can't go s-off with this rom so I can't update my firmware or change my CID, so I can't install lollipop rom without wifi's problem. I would like to know how can I do to update my firmware to 4.4.4 cause I tried to s-off with firewater but doesn't work too.
Anyone have a solution would be a god to me ^^
Thanks in advance.

Firewater doesn't work anymore. HTC patched the exploit.
You'll have to use SunShine S-Off. It costs $25, but is guaranteed to work or you don't pay.
Having S-Off is totally worth $25 IMO.
Here's a link to their website.

Go to this thread. It has a collection of stock backups you can falsh to get back your stock ROM.
It also has a collection of stock recoveries to flash with ADB if you need that.
All the instructions are there.

Firmware is something separate. That link will get you back to stock ROM. Then use Sunshine to s off. After that, you can update your firmware.

The stock recoveries or in that link too. I'm not sure if you need them for sunshine though. Try with custom recovery, if that doesn't work, get a stock recovery.
Or get both ROM and recovery stock, then reflash a custom recovery and ROM.
If you get both to stock, you shouldn't have any issues.

Firmware updates. If you have one fresh out of the box, Firewater would probably still work. And still does for some.

First, I misunderstood your earlier question. Yes the number in front of the backups are for firmware.
To help you more, I'll need some information. Hook up your phone to your computer and start ADB. Then issue these commands:
adb reboot fastboot (wait till your phone boots into fastboot)
fastboot getvar all
Then post what the readout says here, but edit out your serial number (serialno) and IMEI for your own safety.
Then I'll be able to give you a little more guidance.

Your CID is ORANG202 and your firmware is 1.54.73.5, so you will need the backup that corresponds with that.
The backup available was made with TWRP recovery. So you'll need that. (In my opinion, TWRP is a better recovery, less issues)
You could go to their website to download it and get instructions on how to flash it, but there is a much easier way.
Go to the Play Store and install an app called TWRP Manager. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left, and pick "Install TWRP".
After that go back to the stock backup thread and flash the backup that matches your CID and firmware.

My friend has made a comprehensive guide on firmware and firmware flashing, complete with downloads. Make sure to read the whole opening post so you understand everything. It looks like it might be hard because of his full explanation of the whole process, but it's actually very easy. And very informative.

Help with my HTC ONE X

Hi guys, sorry for the noob question but, i need to change ROM. So, the situation is: No root, S-ON, Locked BL, Stock rom 4.2.2. I want to: Flash the recovery, unlock bootloader, S-OFF, rooting (if needed) and change rom. If you can please suggest me a rom with no-lag (possibly lollipop). Thanks in advance. (P.s. I'm noob with the One X)

Anyone?

Plz help me

IS it an international One X. I run Resurrection Remix 5.1.1
You will need to root. Leave S-ON. It will protect you if you do the wrong thing which i did plenty of times.
Have a look at www.onexroot.com

Is Resurrection Remix laggy? Or not? Anyway many thanks! Yep, i will stay on S-ON.

Not really. I find it OK. It does stretch the One X to its limits but the ROM works smoothly
You need to make sure your HBOOT is at least 1.72 or it wont boot

Ehm... How can i update them? What recovery should i flash? I have:
-Philz 6.0.3.8
-TWRP 2.6.3.0
-CWM 6.0.3.8
I've find on the net that i need the new layout storage. What is this?

There's a few steps that will need explanation in detail before you start. Do you have experience with the fastboot method of flashing?

Yep, i know the adb/fastboot commands. I've read that when i flash a rom, i need to flash their boot image by fastboot. Is that true?

Yes that is true
Check the following before you attempt to flash. And leave S-ON. If you mess up this will save you
*. Make sure your OneX is rooted. www.onexroot.com has a good tutorial. http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
*. Be certain that HBOOT is of the correct version BEFORE you flash the ROM. If not then you will need to upgrade HBOOT and then root your phone again. Here is a site that may help if you need to upgrage HBOOT . http://d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8110
Having done all that you are ready to flash. You will need the fastboot files and the ROM and extract the boot.img from the ROM
Rather than me writing it all down and risk missing some step, have a look at these various ROMS on http://onexroot.com/category/one-x-roms/. The tutorials are good and will give you help on how to flash, Look at more than one tutorial to get the idea of what to do.
If you get stuck post
Good luck

Well the post doesn't list your CID so it might. Haven't tried flashing different CID.

Haha trust Australia to not get the tech support and love from the devs! Yeah I guess I might have to do the same. I need to sell my phone so I have to restore it to the stock state, otherwise the person buying it is going to complain about the updates not being able to install haha.

Try using an older recovery. There is one on the stock thread for Au devices.

here is the stock recovery for your phone. It is from version 1.80 but it should still work.
copy it to your TWRP directory and install it through twrp.
