Okay, the steps :
1... 2.... 3.... (you have done that)
4. Have you download the Carbon ROM.zip file? If yes, Place it into the internal storage.
5. Reboot your device into recovery. ( when the purple light flashes, tap the volume + button some times)
6. In recovery menu, 1st select Wipe >>>> Swipe to factory reset.
7. Go back, select Install>>> Instal from sd card.
8. Select your Carbon.zip and install.
9, After finishing, Wipe Cache/Dalvik,
10. Reboot.

I dont have Carbon ROm .ZIP on Internal Storage /SDCard of Xperia S. I tried to connect phone to PC and put ROM.ZIP using ADB push file method but it returns error: device not found.
I can connect to fastboot. I downloaded Sony flash tool, Emma it requires Username pwd. Downloaded Andriod SDK to find if i could have some luck.

Have you downloaded the ROM.zip? When you connect your phone to PC, does it show the internal storage?
I recommend you to use http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php flashtool instead of Emma.

Yes i have Carbon ROM . ZIP with me but on PC. Phone's Internal Storage is not showing on PC. Maybe due to the drivers i installed for Fasttool/ADB ......................... winusb.inf. I am using Flashtool for xperia now.
Question is how can i put Carbon ROM.zip on internal storage of mobile and install thru TeamWin . Or restore original firmware and start over again.

Okay, I think you have to start over.
1 Download the 'Stock Firmwire.ftf' .
2. Place it into \Flashtool\firmwares.
3.Open flashtool
4. Press the 'Bolt' icon on the left. Choose, flash mode
5. Select the 'stock-firmwire.ftf', and flash.
6. Wait for some minutes. A new window will pop up, which tell you to Hold Volume Down (-) key, and connect the phone to PC. The Phone must be turned off and usb debugging On BTW.
7. Now, it'll start flashing. when finished, Unplug the phone, Start it. Let it settle.

Hurray... it worked. Carbon ROM is great... but there is no google store . How do i install apps etc.

Download the Mini or MIcro modular package. Place the zip into storage and flash and reboot. Enjoy.

Your recovery dont have 'mount USB' option? If yes, use it and plug SXS in OC then go to file explorer and you probably must see your internal sd like USB stick. Then, just put zip into good place.

Root Gone Wrong

Hi,
I have been trying to root my phone to install ARHD. I installed the boot.img file from the downloads section, installed ClockworkMOD, copied the ROM to the SD Card and unlocked the phone using HTCDEV.com.
However, now when the phone tries to boot, the lock screen appears, freezes then the phone reboots. Ican get into CWM Recovery but I can only see an Android folder, Lost.DIR folder and My Documents folder. I cannot see the ROM.
What can I do to get out of this Bootloop?
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
boot into recovery
install zip from sd card
choose your rom
install
viola
any of these steps that you not make? If you can follow through all these steps you should be good to go
good luck

Thanks for the quick Reply shadehh!
I can follow the instructions up to Install Zip from SDCard. When I choose that option I can only see the following directories:
Android/
LOST.DIR/
My Documents/
I've searched through all 3 directories and no sign of the ROM. I had originally copied it to a new folder call ROMS on the root of the SD-Card.

Ah this looks crappy, your phone i think is not in big **** just yet. Looks like you've got to find a way to push your rom into your phone and i think i just recalled something...
I know this is written in the One S section but i see no reason why this shouldn't work with the HoX
What this basically does is it lets you put a rom on your sdcard through CWM, this i hope helps you get back on track : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
try putting across again go in to recovery and mount the storage and drag and drop it over again see if that helps
adb will not detect the device as I cannot get into the operating system to turn on USB debugging
when I mount the SDCard, my PC still cannot see the drive so I cannot copy anything across.
Any other ideas?

install following packages:

uhhh, then check if your device gets detected?
Also have you got HTC Sync installed?
EDIT: If this doesn't help then i'm clueless. Hope someone else can help you
Phone wont even charge now. Think my next stop is the nice man at the Vodafone shop.
If you have latest cwm 5.8.4.0 then you can charge in recovery. You can also mount your sdcard to put the ROM back on there in cwm
Go on mounts menu then choose mount USB storage then plug to PC.
It should appear in computer and you can copy back over

Thankseveryone for your assistance.
What I had to in the end was to flash stock recovery . This allowed me to then factory reset which got the phone up and running, albeit, in stock, but unlocked.
Now, do I bite the bullet and load a ROM on or be thankful that I dodged a bullet?:laugh::laugh:
Again, thank you all sooooooo much!!!!!

Try follow these steps
1) Choose one ROM for the one X (ex. IceColdJellly) and download it to your PC
2) Extract boot.img from the zip you've donloaded and move it to the same folder of fastboot
3) In your phone go to fastboot usb (press power + vol down until you see fastboot usb)
4) Conect your phone to PC
5) Flash boot image
6) Choose recovery
7) Choose mount usb
8) Copy the ROM to your SD card
9) Unmount usb
10) Flash ROM
11) Reboot system
You should be good to go.
Attention there is no GAPPS flashed, for that you need to download latest GAPPS and copy them to Sd card and flash them.
Good luck

access to recovery but stuck in bootloop

None of the "similar" threads have people with this problem. I can access Recovery (Clockwork Mod v5.8.4.0), I can do everything within Recovery, full wipe, erase dalvik cache etc, BUT it still will not get past "HTC quietly brilliant".
I got into this mess by trying to flash a kernel. I think the battery was about 15%.
I can mount the sd card via usb, so I'm going to extract the back-up I did before getting into this bootloop.
I've tried this:
If you have Custom ROM on or nandroid backup internal SD card
Reboot in recovery (If your still in fastboot, choose "Reboot Bootloader" and then go into recovery)
Restore a Nandroid Backup or flash Custom ROM
Reboot and go into fastboot
Clean cache in fastboot
Click to expand...

ANd this
IF YOU HAVE SIGNED RECOVERY:
1.- GO TO FASTBOOT
2.- HIT "SHUT DOWN"
3.- WITH THE POWER OFF PUT IT TO CHARGE
4.- RED LIGHT NOTIFICATION SHOWS THE CHARGING PROGRESS.
5.- NEXT DAY YOU WILL SEE A SOLID GREEN LIGHT NOTIFICATIONS FOR A COMPLETE CHARGE.

Very Similar Problem - Please Help!
I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have the same problem, all it says is 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' and it is stuck in a reboot cycle.
I was watching a YouTube tutorial on how to flash CM10 onto my One X (I do have ClockworkMod and all of that stuff installed already). Everything was going well, but the video only briefly (for maybe a second) mentioned the fact that you have to put the CM10 zip folder onto the phone storage before you flash the boot.img. I went on and followed the steps and tried to flash the boot.img, but as I said earlier, all the phone will do is reboot over and over again. I have charged it to full battery so this should not be a problem when I go to fix it.
I would be really grateful for any help on the subject as I contacted the person who made the tutorial, and he has not responded. Thanks in advance.
Just an update if anyone has the same problem as I did, all I had to do was go into ClockworkMod and go to:
Mounts and Storage > Mount USB Storage
Then, just connect the device to your PC and put the zip folder on phone storage. Then, flash the boot.img, and install the zip from SD card in ClockworkMod. Hope this helps.

First off, I'm sorry if you already knew most of the instructions below, or if you are an experienced user. I'm just writing the full steps out so that any user, novice or otherwise, can follow the steps and get their phone working. I will also assume that your phone is already rooted and has ClockworkMod installed.
Before anything else, make sure you have HTC Sync downloaded so that you have the drivers.
Okay, when you are trying to install a custom ROM, you have to put the full zip file on the phone storage. What I would do is create a new folder in C: drive called 'Android' or 'HTC ROM' or whatever you want to put. For the rest of the answer, I will call it AndroidF (android folder). Copy this zip folder into AndroidF. If you go into the zip folder (don't unzip it), you should find a disk image file called 'boot' or 'boot.img'. Copy this out so that it sits in AndroidF too (do not move it!). Once it is in AndroidF, rename it boot.
Once you have done this, go into the bootloader and go to recovery. This will take you to ClockworkMod. From there go to:
Mounts and Storage > Mount USB Storage
Then, connect the phone to your PC and put the zip folder onto the phone. Then, tap unmount, and go back to the bootloader. Click fastboot, and make sure that it says 'Fastboot USB'. If not, just unplug the phone and plug it back in again, and this message should be there. Leave the phone once this has happened.
Go back to AndroidF, and hold shift, right click and choose "Open Command Window Here". Command Prompt should pop up. Then type the following,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If this works, skip to the next paragraph. If not, type fastboot flash boot boot.img.img. This should then work.
Go back to the phone, and select HBoot. Then go to the recovery from here. Once in the recovery, go to:
Install zip from SD card > Choose zip from SD card
Find the zip file and install it. And voila! Your phone should be running whatever ROM you have picked. If you have any more problems, message me back and I will try and help as well as I can
You can use "adb push" and "adb pull" in recovery to copy files from and to your phone, but you have to mount sdcard from recovery first.
to browse storage directly on the phone you can use "adb shell" and then "ls" and "cd directoryname" to find file which you want to copy from the device.

[SOLVED] Error Mounting /sdcard/.android_Secure!

People,
I got to install the Cyanogen Firmware on my Xperia ZL (6503) and i'm give a problem.
I follow the instructions on the http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_odin
and download the file cm-10.1.2-odin.zip in this page:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=odin
When I select the option Factory Default, the CWM show the message: Error Mounting /sdcard/.android_Secure! and no mount the internal sdcard. I'm install the .zip file from the external sdcard, and stuck on logo of Cyanogen.
Any fix for this error?
Do you mean you are unable to perform a factory reset? You can do this without using CWM. Inside of the phone settings, backup & restore, there is an option to reset to factory.
If you mean you are unable to install the zip, then maybe you need to install a different version of recovery.

Humm, i'm not do factory reset before install the Cyanogenmod. I'm install the boot.img with CWM provided with cyanognen file. What's the difference do factory reset directly in original rom?

Ah you're attempting to flash the boot.img file? You have to use fastboot I believe in order to flash it.
1. You must have unlocked bootloader of your device. You can do so from here.
2. Download Fastboot here.
3. Place Fastboot.zip and the boot.img files onto your Desktop.
2. Extract files from the Fastboot archive to your Desktop. Move the boot.img file into the Fastboot folder.
3. Turn ON the USB debugging option on your device by going to Menu>>Settings>>Developer options>>USB debugging.
4. Once enabled, connect your device to your PC via USB cable.
5. Launch a Command Prompt Window on the Desktop of your PC. To do so, press and hold the Shift button on your keyboard and right-click on any blank area on the screen, then choose Open command window here.
6. Type in following command into the Command Prompt Window:
adb reboot bootloader
7. Your device will reboot into the bootloader mode.
8. Once inside bootloader mode, enter the following command into Command Prompt.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
9. Once the file’s flashed, reboot your device.
10. And you’re all set! You now have CWM recovery!

After launched the CWM, I select the option "Format /data" and after "Format /sdcard". After selected this options, the error message not appears again and the Cyanogen firmware install and launch successful! Probably with format, deleted some key or protection in internal sdcard.

I have the same problem in my Razr 925. I installed with CWM 6.0.3.6-10.2 cm from the external SD.
1) First I tried from the inside SD, I never realized that appeared "Warning: No file_contexts", and install the zip of cm-10.2, the result was "Error mounting / data" "Error mounting / sdcard /. Android_secure".
2) From the external memory I managed to do it, but the logo remains Cyanogen cycling.
3) I tried to restore the backup, but "Can not mount / sdcard".
Now I don't know what to do, I researched and solution is always restart from the official android, in my case I can not start the official android. I need help please !:crying:

If you aren't able to (as in your case) or simply don't want to (as in mine, where I didn't have an external SD card handy); you can simply upgrade your recovery software.
In my case, Carbon ROM JB for the GT-N7000 came with CWM 6.0.3.5 which couldn't flash newer ROMs (like Carbon KitKat), and had issues with the internal SD card including the one in the topic of this post. Since I had just wiped my current ROM and didn't want to start up an ADB sideload session, I simply flashed PA (which came with CWM 6.0.3.7, a minor version bump but a huge difference here) and after rebooting to recovery again (I didn't even have to boot to PA), everything worked again.
(My first post that could be even considered remotely useful on XDA, so please tell me if it helped you!)
Thanks!

OS is completely gone on my HTC one X

Hi!
I lend my HTC one X to my friend that said that he would boost my phone up to KitKat 4.4.4. But he returned it completely blank. I am pretty sure he erased the whole system.
When I start the device it stops at the HTC logo. I am able to enter the bootloader and it says "Unlocked". When I enter "Recovery" the device loads a grey screen with a couple of options. The main title is "ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8".
When I connect my phone to the PC it shows the device ( H: ).
Please help, how do I restore my phone? I don't care if it is rooted or not. I just want it to work again.
Kind regards,
Alexander
you can restore your phone either by nandroid backup or by flashing a custom rom..

aaah, okey.
How do I transfer nandroid to my phone? I'm unable to connect my phone to my PC, it makes the sound that the PC found my phone but it does not pop up anymore. Tried to search on google and when I looked in sdcard/clockworkmod/ the folder is empty.
Do you have a guide on how to use this? I do not know if it is possible but i am afraid that my friend has erased all data.

Thank you for a good guide but I got stuck on 'Go to cwm recovery and mount your internal storage'
What I have available in the main menu (IMG_1) is 'mounts and storage'. When I select that I have the options from IMG_2 and IMG_3. If i Choose mount USB storage the device shows IMG_4 but nothing happens.
Am I doing it wrong? The only thing that happens is when I connect my device to the computer, it makes the sound as if it was found.
Try flashing this recovery. http://d-h.st/nmh
Download the image and put it in the onexroot folder.
In fastboot mode, type fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery/file>.img
Did this because the cwm mount never worked for me too :/
