wait, it does or doesnt go to download mode? if it does....odin back to stock. make sure you use the 4.3 tar if you have a knox enabled bootloader.
if it doesnt go into download, mount usb storage from recovery and put a stock touchwiz rom on your phone and flash that?

I found that when I downloaded TWRP for recovery and tried to install 4.4, I was unable to do so(install error). I flashed a 4.3 and worked. That might not answer your question but that's what happened to me.

can u tell me

how did u flash ur rom and how did u get twrp installed because i cant even acesse my phone:crying:

I put a micro-SD card in my computer using the adapter and placed the rom on it. Put it back in your phone, find the file in recovery, then flash.

Your TWRP issue is likely a compatibility issue. If you are using version 2.6.3.0, that version is not capable of flashing KitKat 4.4.x ROM's due to changes in the code from 4.3.x to 4.4.x. Version 2.6.3.1 is supposed to be compatible for KitKat, but a lot of users, myself included, could not get it to work properly, nothing would mount in recovery, and the touch response was horrendous. I personally highly recommend Philz Touch recovery, it is based on CWM, but is light-years beyond regular CWM, and is virtually flawless in my opinion.

Did you update to 4.4.2?
Besacuse If you update the bootloader are experiencing the same problem as many of us.

You are speaking about scripts at boot. But you did not refer to the updater script that actually flashed the Rom. Also what Rom are you trying to flash ? What is your current bootloader and Recovery ?

twrp 2.6.3.1

Download SlimKat v 3.10 You will need Gapps.
Flash via the Recovery. Make sure to take a photo if error occurs.

Try using clockwork because I had alot of issues flashing newer Roms on twrp just sayin

Maybe I missed something, but if you can get download mode, you should be able to use Odin. Have you tried reinstalling drivers?

[HELP] Unbrick HTC One X

Hey guys,
I need help unbricking my HTC One X. I was trying to set up CM11 on it but I used CWM Recovery 5.0.8 instead of 6.0.4 that it requires. I managed to remove the stock OS and now it only loads bootloader or cwm recovery.
I downloaded the stock ROM and I'm now trying to install that via recovery. This is what I've been trying to send the file to the HOX -
I've been trying to use ADB to transfer files to the device but the device can't be found (List of devices shows up blank). However, it shows up in fastboot.
I tried connecting a USB OTG to it but I can't seem to find any option to install from external USB. I tried to mount USB but it gives me an error - E:Unable to open ums lunfile.
I tried running an RUU but that didn't work either.
I'm thinking that once I can see the stock ROM file through CWM recovery, it should be easy enough to install that. So what should I be doing to get the file onto the HOX or what other approach can I use?
Will help me out a lot!
Thanks!

Thanks a ton! I managed to flash CWM 6.0.4.8 on it and then I installed CM11 and then the GAPPS. The installation went through fine and I can finally see the CM load screen. However, I think I'm stuck in some sort of bootloop since it doesn't seem to get past the loading screen.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Things are looking up!

[q] please help -- bricked --

well, I was installing a aosp jelly bean rom and I installed the boot.img first and then flashed the rom, but the rom said that the install was aborted due to bootloader issues or something. I then tried to restore my nandroid backupand that put me stuck on the htc screen on bootup. I then tried to install stock recovery as a guide told me or something and it got rid of my backup. I have no idea what to do. I have reflashed CWM and can boot into the bootloader and the recovery. How can I install a new rom or a stock rom to make this work. Please help!
My main number is this : 4.18.401.4
my hboot version is 1.72.0000
my radio version is 5.1204.167.31

ok wich hboot and wich recovery you flashed first time, now you are with the stock one.
1. Unlock bootloader and flash THIS recovery
take the recovery.img from zip paste it in your fastboot folder and flash it with the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then go in recovery and charge the phone
2. Do you have some rom on your sd card?
3. Wich CWM version?
Edit if your AICP rom is still on sd card flash THIS RECOVERY then install the rom and flash the boot.img.
I think you tryed with the old recovery to install KitKat or LP rom big mistake

I would appreciate it! not sure what to look for now after this, scared i'll mess up. Thanks!

Why you not install some sense for first time or try to flash some CM12 or lolipop. Remember Philz 5.15.9 is only for JB roms and mount sd card work only on 5.15.9. If you want KitKat or Lolipop you must to change the recovery to this where I give you in my post, but dont forget to copy the rom to sd card with this recovery first., or easy way download some sense and flash it
Say wich rom you want to flash and I will give you the right link for rom

You are very kind when flashing a rom, do I remove the boot.img from the rom file to flash via fastboot, or do i just make a copy of it? I would like to flash cm 10.2 to begin with, which files do i need and which recovery? thank you in advance, you are a great help!
Also, my phone only came with 1.5gb free space for apps... It is a 32gb phone and i have 25gb of storage left but it says only 1.5gb out of 6gb for apps, how do i unlimit this?

10.2 is too old but it is your decision. just extract the boot.img from zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Don't extract the hole zip, and copy the original zip on your sd card. You can move the apps to your sd card CM support it

Well I want an aosp rom that means i can stick to the same recovery. It seems easier to stick to JB, would that be okay? Could you find me the relevant files?
I basically want the easiest one to install and the most risk free!

[Q] stuck after installing firmware

i flashed new firmware to my htc one m8
I got into recovery and changed the name firmware file.
but now in the recovery it doesn't recognize my internal storage, kind of. it says 0 mb.
And when I try via adb to push a file to it it fails. (adb push filename.zip /sdcard/)
so it seems like i only have the external card now working.
what can I do?
I'm currently in the stage where i have the firmware file in the right name and it keeps asking me to update, if i remove the external card, i can get into recovery change the name, and then i see it won't read the internal storage like i wrote up here.
but after I change the name i can get into fastboot mode.
I currently have recovery mode - twrp 2.8.0.3
p.s I think my internal storage does work, cause i can go into recovery mode(twrp), my external_sd was formmated
before i used to update the firmware, so it has nothing except for that file

You're not flashing the firmware through recovery, are you?

No, i flashed, with the guide here, via an external card, changing the name of the firnware so the hboot would recognize it.. and update it

I was thinking that maybe my twrp version 2.8.0.3 is too old for this bootloader veraion maybe, and i need to update to twrp to 2.8.6 and then try to transfer the rom file and install it.
What do u think?
Do u have any suggestions?

I have TWRP 2.8.0.6. You can download TWRP manager from Play Store, it has a list of TWRP versions you can install. The app installs them too. Everytime I used the app to install it, it says it failed but it actually works, just install, then say ok to the failed install pop up and reboot into recovery and it'll be there.
Edit: As soon as the firmware has flashed successfully, boot up and delete the firmware file off of your external SD card so it doesn't keep asking you to update.

I have no OS now.
I need to download it, and flash it via fastboot. I'm wondering if that's the problem that the internal storage is giving me these problems or it has nothing to do with it.
Does a different firmware require different twrp versions?

Not as far as I know. Your best bet man is probably to download an RUU and just flash that through fastboot or the external sd card method. Then after that, flash the TWRP then put a ROM zip on your phone and flash that way.

What RUU should i use? Isn't that just firmware like the one i flashed now?

No, an RUU is a complete system install. Completely stock with the exception of some RUUs contain root. But it will wipe everything on your phone, all your personal data and what not.
