My One X died... - HTC One X

...I think
I would gladly give a better Topic Title but i can't. Maybe you guys can give further troubleshooting assistance.
Actual State:
Can boot to bootloader and Fastboot. Bootloader unlocked and TWRP Recovery installed. There _should_ be a Revolution HD on the device. When device powers up it goes smoothly to the White HTC quietly brilliiance screen (screen brightness begins to flicker) and goes off after (really off, not hanging, plain off). After i cleared boot cache via adb i'm able too see a split second of the htc bootlogo and then goes off right after.
State of device when i began to "fix" it:
BL Locked, No Custom Recovery, Stock recovery dead (Just red triangle), rom maybe was dead too but i don't know.
Last attempts i did were:
1. Flash boot.img through fastboot (Fastboot flash boot boot.img)
2. Flashed the Superwipe script (was desperate)
3. Flash Android Revolution through TWRP-Recovery
First:
I Don't know wich carrier. Boy that bugs me a lot. I'Ve tried Generic, Vodaphone and T-Mobile (since i'm in germany) but no Luck. Is there a possibility to check what RUU i need without a Running ROM? I haven't bought the device i got it from a friend of mine and it went straight to my wife. I've asked, he doesn't know. I'm not so into HTC, so i'm not quite firm concerning Stock restore.
Next:
I think i tried everything except for restoring stock (because.... meh....): I've unlocked the phone. I've flashed CWM aswell as TWRP. I've flashed different boot.img from different roms i've flashed.
I'Ve litteraly did EVERYTHING what seemed like a good idea to me. But now i'm at the end of my knowledge.
My last piece of Information:
After 2 1/2 hours i had a Custom Recovery Running (did the trial and error RUU Method before). I've mounted the SD-Card and it was Blank. There was NOTHING on it except for some Recovery Folders. SD Card is about 24GB. This looks like a lot to me. Is that really normal? Mounting system, data and sd via adb works like a charm.
So if one of you could help me that'd really be cool. If there is some crazy stuff i need to do via adb, please go into detail. I know the basics (how to mount partitions and to push files) nothing more.
But maybe it's just faulty...
Thanks in advance

[Q] HTC Desire HD stuck in bootloop. Will not go past htc logo, total inactivity

My DHD is stuck on HTC logo. Happened after trying to flash leedroid from cyanogenmod 7. previous flashes were successful. Now when i turn it on, the only thing it can do is show htc logo screen.
- The screen wont turn off
- None of the buttons do anything when pressed (including power off)
- Cannot go to recovery, bootloader or use fastboot
- Cannot access SDCard when plugged in the phone to my laptop (recognises a device connected though!)
Going to send it back to the network provider for fixing but i'm sure it is not covered warranty.
Please help me with things I can try to somehow get it anywhere besides the blank htc screen (white background with green htc).....
Much appreciated
With the USB connected there should be a split second where you can type adb reboot recovery to get back into recovery...
You could also try removing the battery and then replacing the battery while to have your finger on the vol- key. That might get you into the boot loader...
yea, like the 'Drew442' said, take the battery out, hold vol down and press power for 1-2 secs. That will take u to bootloader. Select Recovery and that'll take you to CWM Recovery. Then you can restore a nandroid, or flash a new ROM.
I've done this ALOT, once i did it approx 10-15 times in one day (lots of experimenting )!!! dont worry,

similar issue - but can't get to cwm
Hi,
I have a similar issue produced by similar circumstances. Mine was during switch from regular ext3 ROMs to an ext-4 CM7 based ROM. To be precise, it was during my attempted flash of an ext-4 friendly version of CWM 3.0.2.8
Now I can get to HBOOT menu by pulling the battery and booting with volume "-" , but when I select "recovery" I can NOT get to CWM recovery very worried. selecting recovery sends me to the white screen with the green HTC logo indefinitely, until battery pull.
What can I do? I have years of *nix use, but this is my first Android smartphone (well i had an HD2 for a couple weeks, and LOVED android so bought the inspire / desire hd) and I've had no problems following tutorials, and experimenting. But I am new, so maybe I'm not trying something that's obvious to all ofyou
is there ANY way to manually flash a bootable ROM to my phone? or force install CWM?
I need help.. so sad.. no phone at all now, as I got rid of my iphone 4 after loving this phone so much!
You can flash a cwm 3...... Recovery from Fastboot then load cm7 rom. As long as you can access the bootloader you're ok, the phone isn't bricked. Download a cwm recovery 3 series and put the .img file in the tools folder of your sdk then turn the phone on in fastboot bootloader mode then open a command prompt on your pc. Navigate to your tools folder then type...... fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Then fastboot reboot-bootloader
That ought to do it.

Well, if you have ENG S-OFF, then you can flash CWM recovery manually .. LINK
IF you dont have ENG S-OFF, or if it fails again, then i suggest trying to put the official 1.32 FW ROM - LINK
flashing 1.32 would be more productive in that case that flashing CWM fails, since its easily rootable (Visionary+)
thanks! will try~
@CodeNameUnknown1 - i do have s-off, but I tried running "install-recovery-windows.bat" with cwm 3.2.0.0, to no avail.
For the brief moment the batch file is running, the terminal window says something about not being able to write the file. It is so fast I can't read it properly.
@pwraggcan - I will give the sdk method a shot. didn't know about it, since I used a "one-click" method initially to root my device and proceeded with rom manager from inside...
thanks! I hope it works!!
Google search for guidance on installing sdk or search within the xda forum. There will be plenty of guides.

hey guys.
in the end i loaded stock rom (1.32) and went from there. worked perfectly.
was trying to do the sdk method (seemed similar to how I rooted my asus transformer - abd etc..) but I keep getting a missing dll error. followed all kinds of guides on rectifying it, but no dice.
anyway, stock rom was faster fix in the end.. lol.
thanks again!!!
Glad it worked for you. I actually prepared a zip file to upload for you with the necessary drivers and files if you needed it but hey.... you're sorted now, so all good.

i got a problem here..
my friend recently update his unroot phone to GB with OTA update.. but after the update finished,his phone restarted and got into infinite bootloop..
in this thread,someone said that it can be solved by using stock pd98img.zip
can anyone help me how to do it? because the OP at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 said to use the visionary+ first.. but the problem is his phone can't past the bootloop. is there any solution to manually install the stock 1.32 ROM?
thanks
Follow the downgrade guide in the development section. That will sort you out. Make a gold card then flash the pd98img.zip. That will reinstall the stock rom.

and what about the version number? does it matter?

I think that missing dll is located in the platform-tools folder and you could copy it to the tools folder (at least in my case with a similar error). Or you could use adb from the platform-tools folder. Works for me.

HELP PLEASE - EVO 3D Stuck in Bootloop!

Hello All,
I recently rooted my EVO3D using the HTCDEV method because the bootloader was version 1.5.
Here are the steps I followed to root (sorry for the copy and past but I want to be as detailed as possible)
Files Used
su 2.3.6.3
TWRP Recovery
Steps Taken:
1)Take both the su.zip and recovery.img files and put them in your sdk tools folder.
2)Now do the following in ur command prompt, hitting enter after each command.
3)Code:adb push recovery.img /sdcard/And,
4)Code:adb push su-2.3.6.3.zip /sdcard/Then,
5)Code:adb reboot bootloaderUr phone will go to fastboot and should look like the after picture above. Now you can flash the twrp recovery, so do,
6)Code:fastboot flash recovery recovery.imgIt will ouput something like this,
7)Code:sending 'recovery' <5068 KB>... OKAY////writing 'recovery'... OKAY///finished. total time: 11.355sNow you have twrp recovery, so you can navigate to it. On ur phone, use the power button to pick bootloader, then scroll down to recovery and pick that. You will then be booted into recovery.
8)Here you can pick "install zip" and then pick the "su-2.3.6.3.zip"
It will flash, the you can pick "back to main menu", then "reboot system now"
9)You will boot back up and have working Superuser. I have had no trouble with Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Quick Boot or any other app that requires root. Before you do too much, it would be good to go back to recovery and do a Nandroid backup. Always best to get one ready before you start modding anything.
All of this worked fine, and the phone was "unlocked."
Then, I flashed the most recent version of CleanRom (2.7)
Again, the phone worked fine, battery life was a little crappy.
I decided to flash Ziggy's kernel.I flashed the kernel simply by putting on the SD card, and then rebooting into recovery. This worked fine as well, but I noticed some of the buttons for example the menu popups displayed volume where it should have said more, or bluetooth options where it should have said preferences. so this is where the trouble started, I downloaded kernel manager, and flashed silverneedle through that program. Now, I am stuck at the White HTC Splash screen bootloop. The phone turns on and after 15 seconds reboots, and reboots, and reboots.
What Ive attempted:
I have done countless wipes and clears of the dalvik cache and cache
ive formatted the system and the date sections (advanced menu in twrp)
ive reflashed the rom after wiping countless times
ive tried flashing different kernels in recovery to no avail
factory reset and wipe havent helped
im not concerned losing the contents of the SD card
I need help because I already had two phone claims in the past 11 months, and if I claim another lost phone I will lose insurance for life with Asurion (sprint)
anytips or help would be greatly appreciated
i can provide any additional info
Similar situation, Not sure if you've already solved the problem but I'm going to copy paste my solution from another thread...
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but this is a preety derp question. I've gone across the internet and tried a lot of reflashing to repair my sort of "bricked" evo. What happened, was that I had a evo 3d s-on htc bootloader unlocked, with custom recovery -clockwork..anyways I had flashed the leedroid 3d 4.0 rom and It worked the only problem was my wifi, so i attempted to flash another kernel onto it, but I had accidently flashed "Rcmix" kernel which I later found out was cdma =.=. so now my phone keeps rebooting at the htc screen, it would just load up with the green htc letters, then after 10 seconds or so it'd reboot, and then begin the process again. I can boot into bootloader and recovery but whatever I flash doesn't seem to work including restoring my backups...and then the battery died so i couldn't even charge it or go in. But i managed to work out I could load into bootloader from the CMD and the furthest i've gotten to is to have the bootloader show FASTBOOT USB. SO I must be getting somewhere...? I did read that i had to load from the cmd and not just from power+vol down..but I'd appreciate any help towards restoring my phone to the way it is or at least before i flashed the rcmix.
Just a note tho I've tried factory resetting but all i get is that it loads into recovery at the bootloader options i dont get "clear storage" as an option and "restore to factory settings" and what not just boots me into recovery agian.
EDIT:
I Managed to fix the phoneeee!!!..just for future preferences and anyone else who has this problem...
I followed bits and piece of IL DUCE's advice to izzy spun, the important part was booting the recovery from cmd. I wasn't able to "erase recovery" But I tried just booting it,
First I would remove the battery,
Put it back in,
Plug the usb cable in
1. Type command, from your Adb/fasboot folder, "adb reboot-bootloader"
2. After that I made sure my bootloader said "Fastboot USB", and then I issued the command, "fastboot boot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img" or with whatever recovery you had..
3. From there I restored from my backups my original rom. Rebooting, and fixed.
--- and It worked. At the time I was on clock work recovery, i only had the Revolutionary recovery img. Cwm-4.0.14.-shooteru.img to be exact,
after going in there I just cleared the cache and davlik and then, proceeded to restore my backups (I'm not sure if it would've worked if I had re-flashed the leedroid or a custom rom)
and then I simply rebooted the phone, and it got back into my phones original state before leedroid (as I had Only backedup before then)....
Apologies for the lengthly post, but I guess reading does help, but I've been going nuts before I managed to fix this. Just thought I'd leave this post incase someone were to need this.
Same problem
Hi there. I just recently joined so excuse my noobness but i have a similar problem. I recently just rooted my evo 3d sprint with the the boot 1.5 and everything went well. I decided i wanted to overclock my phone so i followed zeemaxs way. Before going into the overclock procedure i decided to do the the RCMIX Evo 3d kernel v. 2.2.3 first so i would have better results when done with the overclock procedure.I bootup the kernel through the recovery mode on the phone butit failed to load so i just reeboted. After that my wifi and 4g stopped working. So i downloaded an app on the market called "flash image GUI" which lets me flash the kernels through the app. I flashed the RCMIX kernel and rebooted and now im stuck ima boot loop. I COULD just go back and back up to my old rom and settings etc...........but the problem is i dintmake any kind of back up or recovery i think. I know i know im stupid and an idiot but i just sort of panicked n ended up with this. If anyone can help please tell me.I do not want to pay for a new phone at full price. PLEASE HELP THIS POOR NOOB!!!!! X(

What your going to have to do is flash the original kernel you started with. thats why your in a bootloop
Similar problem
Hi everyone!
I have a kind of similar problem, so I won't post it in a new thread.
Yesterday I rooted my phone following this guide: androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot . html (i am not allowed to post links to prevent spam).
I unlocked it with htcdev and installed a custom ROM without getting any errors. After restarting the phone, it got into a boot loop; it showed the starting animations of htc and the ROM and then shut down again.
Here some more information:
-Evo 3d Europe gsm
-hboot 1.5
-s-on
-image version 3.28.401
-installed ROMs using clockworkrecoverymod (as proposed in guide)
I have tried these ROMs (all leading to boot loop):
ICS NonSense
Cyanogen Mod 10 – DisarmedToaster (v. 1.4 and 1.5)
Jelly Bean 3d (by Ubuntuz)
SAD 2.1 DEsenseX
I installed the ROMs by doing:
Connect device via usb > flash boot.img via fastboot (from pc) > clear Cashe/UserData/DalvikVM > install rom.zip from sdcard > reboot
I really don't know what to try
Any ideas how I could install a running Android OS are highly appreciated.
Thx for any help
Problem solved!
Ok, I solved the problem by simply relocking the phone and installing the stock ROM with the RUU.exe
RUU.exe
I'm glad someone else mentioned Relocking before running the RUU. I've read several posts be others that have actually stated that Relocking wasn't necessary but in order for the RUU to take you have to Relock. IF you get a chance check out CoolICS Rom and MeanRom both are pretty good.
Thanks all for the help, had to revisit this issue today.

[Q] Assistance in recovering

Hi, I have foolishly (possibly?) wiped Android off of my OneX
I was attempting to apply the Tegra tweak and well things went downhill.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader from HTCdev.
I proceeded to apply Interim ClockworkMod to gain root access
This is where things started to go wrong. Any new reboot would only take me to Clockworkmod screen.
I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599748
clear cache, davik cache... relocking the bootloader - This results in the device constantly rebooting.
I attempted to apply the RUU ROM's ( from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604)
From within ClockworkMod I was then able to:
adb push One_X_1.26.401.2_odexed.zip /sdcard/
Once there I used ClockworkMod to apply an update zip (which I was hoping was the Stock ROM).
A reboot just brought me back to Clockwork.
I then locked the bootloader ( fastboot oem lock. ) hoping it would then proceed to boot as expected.
It didn't just going to HBOOT or an attempted recovery (isometric view of a phone with a green arrowed circle -> RED triangle).
Please someone help, starting to panic a bit. The fact I can upload, the fact that there is some basic interactions should imply this is fixable, but how?
The boot to recovery sounds like you have the same problem that I had.
Perhaps you followed the same incorrect instructions as I did. See here for a solution.

This may help.
with the locked bootloader you will only be able to run a proper ruu so before even attempting the instruction above unlock your bootloader again and proceed from there.
I might start working on some core .IMG files that can be flashed through fastboot to get you going again tomorrow

THANKS!!!
booted back to the lovely ICS desktop
It looks like I did end up flashing RUU since none of the Vodafone branding is present (and it is actually better!)
No idea what went wrong but probably flashed over the boot as hinted at in the other thread.
The provided img files assisted. just need to get this Tegra thing working (not showing up as a running/registered process but thats another story)
Thanks all

Bad flashing caused big problems

Hi guys I´m going to go mad because of flashing a new kernel on my HTC One X.
At first the infos:
Unlocked at HTCDev
Had the CWM 5.8.40 Recovery (HAD!)
Faux Kernel 7m (didn´t work at the first time but after a reflash everything was ok)
Viper X 2.7.1 Custom Rom (UC+UV)
SoundEnhancer Mod 18
At first: I´m more like a silent reader and I´m trying to learn as much as possible so I´m not an expert.
Today I tried to flash the newer Faux Kernel 10m on my One X but forgot to erase the cache afterwards. It got stuck at the HTC One Logo
So like at the 7m Kernel I retried but this time it got stuck again at the HTC One Logo.
I read the Disaster Recovery Tutorial Thread and tried the fast and easy things but they didn´t work eitther.
I accepted the fact that I had to recover the phone with my backup which was from the stock rom with nothing on it.
After restoring the boot gif changed to the original one but it still got stuck at the HTC One Logo. This time I erased the cache.
After that I had to use a RUU but I just took the newest one because I didn´t get the idea how to match the cid with the RUU-numbers.
I did as it was written here in Method 2. But I didn´t see the Notification: "FAILED (remote : (00000006))".
I relocked the phone and it restarted but now it´s in the bootloop and doesn´t get detected neither by the RUU exe nor by the cmd. So I can´t get back to the recovery and can´t get detected by the RUU.
How can I fix my phone to end this misery?
I hope someone can wirte a step-by-step guide so everybody who has the same problem can solve it.
Greetings
Beyazid
When you flash a new kernel, all you have to do is place modules zip in phone storage, put phone in bootloader, connect to computer, flash boot.img, go into recovery and flash modules. If you don't flash boot.img, the phone won't boot. Try going into bootloader by pressing volume down and power at the same time and holding it, flash viper boot.img via fastboot kit, full wipe and reflash rom. I've messed up a few times but this has always worked for me.

there are infinite posts about how to fix this and tutorials too if you use the search button, anyways
1- why using faux 7m when there is already 10m ?
2- hold power+vol dwn
3- go to recovery (hboot not fastboot)
4- go to mounts and storage, mount storage usb
5- copy to your sd all the files excluding the boot.img from faux
6- flash rom then modules then type in cmd "adb reboot-bootloader" (without quotes),
7- choose fastboot in bootloader then flash boot.img and erase cache
@VCek: I flashed this before the Versions 10 and 11 came out
Thanks for the infos. I´ll use them the next time. But now I can´t reach the bootloader anymore because I locked the phone with "fastboot oem lock" and because of that I can´t do anything but go to the fastboot mode. The recovery is locked or in other words: I can´t use the CWM Recovery anymore.
If I click the recovery mode this happens: vvvvvv(dot)vidup(dot)de/v/l1vVH/ (make a dot instead of the word "dot" and change the V´s to W´s, I´m not allowed to post outside links right now)
The next step should be the unlocking I guess. Right? But how can I do that?
Edit: I was able to unlock the phone again so it should be easier from now on but your steps didn´t work for me. I reflashed the Viper X Rom and reflahed the Kernel without the boot.img in it. But I didn´t get the point which boot.img I should flash. Both of them or just the Rom boot.img?
Edit2: After a long day I was able to solve the Problem with the right RUU. After all it was easier than I thought and I should have done that at the beginning

Possibly bricked One X - need assistance!

Hey, everyone!
So within the past week or two my stock standard HTC One X started playing up, which I'm pretty sure was a result of a recent system update (to 4.2.2, from memory). My 'twilight' app (similar to f.lux but for phones) started randomly turning on and off for no reason, the screen became very rapidly unresponsive unless a great deal of force was applied or the phone was repeatedly locked and unlocked, it began to heat up (even more so than normal), etc, etc. Yesterday the unthinkable happened: it got stuck in a bootloop.
So here's how I wound up where I am right now.
I came to terms with the fact that I was going to lose all of my data (at least Google has automatically backed up my images and videos every few days), and anyone important enough to me that I need their phone number I also have on facebook/google plus or see frequently enough in person that when the issue is resolved I can add their numbers again. So I performed a factory reset hoping that would fix the problem. It didn't. Today, at the behest of a friend of mine, I decided to flash a custom ROM on my phone in an effort to salvage what was increasingly likely looking to be a $600 paperweight. I've never done this before, so I followed the instructions in the following video exactly as shown, and downloaded the latest stable version of Cyanogen mod for the One X. The video can be found by googling, "HTC One X - How To Root (in-depth)". It's the first result.
Everything went... well, not smoothly. But I got there in the end. Eventually the phone rebooted, and the blue (or cyan, I suppose) Cyanogen mod logo came up with the circular loading symbol tracing around it. It stayed this way for some 30 minutes or so. I decided to reboot the phone. Same issue again. I performed a factory reset, cleared the cache, cleared the Dalvik cache, and rebooted again. Still wouldn't pass the booting process. I cleared everything a second time and even reinstalled the update.zip (which for some reason appeared as update.zip.zip in ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.2.7... I'm wondering if that caused some issue). Still no progress. Eventually, out of frustration, I began playing around with random settings within Clockwork Mod Recovery and tried backtracking a few steps computer-side in terms of the installation process, and somewhere along the way I've really F'd things up.
And here's the current situation.
Now, whenever the phone restarts the white HTC splash comes up, followed very quickly by a black screen which flickers momentarily, and then immediately jumps to ClockworkMod Recovery (v5.8.2.7).
Whereas earlier today both fastboot and adb recognised my device, now only fastboot will. I can't get anything to appear in the adb device list anymore. I'd prefer it if people didn't immediately scream, "DRIVER ISSUE!" considering adb worked for half of the day so it seems relatively unlikely to me that that's the problem.
My computer itself won't recognise that my phone is plugged in (probably because there's no OS anymore by the seems of things). I've tried two USB cables to no avail (the first worked earlier on this afternoon, so that shouldn't be an issue).
Within the 'choose zip from sdcard' section of ClockworkMod Recovery I can choose from (other than all of the files that were already in there):
CWN-SuperSU-v0.87.zip
update.zip.zip (the double file extension really bugs me)
'mount USB storage' within ClockworkMod Recovery gives me an erroy reading, E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or di...) (runs off the screen, although presumably it just says no such file or directory exists).
I can't think of anything else that's relevant or would help troubleshoot this issue. If you need anymore info please just let me know and I'll do my best to supply it (you may have to lead me through the data acquisition process, however). I'm really hoping the phone isn't completely bricked because I don't exactly have the money right now to buy a new phone - I'm a uni student who only works part time and I just bought a car a few weeks ago. Bye bye, savings.
Regards,
Scott.
man, stupid question, did you flash the boot.img in the bootloader before or after flashing the rom?
if yes,
what cyanogen did you install?
cyanogen 10.2 should work with your recovery but cyanogen 11 needs a particular one
edit:did you make a backup (in the recovery) before flashing?
Want a working phone for now, follow this :
Download this recovery and flash it :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp21ubo10xetcvn/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Download a sense 5 rom like arhd or blade from the forum here. Copy the boot.img from the rom and flash that too. Then enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device and wait as long as it needs to pop up on the pc.
Copy the rom to the sdcard and then perform a full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache, data and system
Then install the rom.zip and reboot.

I flashed SOME .img file, but not one called 'boot.img'. Can't remember when, unfortunately. If you find the youtube video I mentioned I followed that exactly.
No recovery unfortunately. I saw no point given that the phone was almost unusable in any form prior to me getting Cyanogen installed (it was constantly and randomly rebooting). Probably a mistake in retrospect.
Version 10.2, by the way.

Can you walk me through it step-by-step. Again, I'm a total noob to this and I DON'T want to stuff this up again. Is the fact that adb (or my PC in general) isn't recognising my phone going to make this difficult? I mean how am I meant to copy anything to the SD card if I can't access it through windows explorer or via adb push?!
You need fastboot. Rename my linked recovery to just recovery.img and flash it :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Flash the boot.img from the rom :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and follow earlier given steps

This seems to work at first - instead of jumping into ClockworkMod Recovery, after flashing the image file you gave me, it jumps into a new recovery mode. But after rebooting and going into recovery mode again it's back to ClockworkMod Recovery (I made sure to clear the cache).
You mean the old cwm. The new one is cwm based and looks just like it. If it's flashed it can't be gone without flashing something else as a recovery !

Oh. Well it looks different the first time I boot into recovery versus the second time (PhilZ Touch 5 with a distinct purple background the first time, but the second time it goes back to a black background with blue text).
Not really sure how to proceed from here. Battery is dropping fast (9%) despite being plugged in, so I'm worried if I don't fix this ASAP it'll be forever FUBAR.
The old one does not support charging. Try flashing philz again and keep it in there and charge it up as Philz does enable charging in recovery.
If you use Fastboot flash recovery command the old one is gone.....can't come back like that !

Mr Hofs, you sir are a gentlemen and a scholar! I have managed to get back to the initial bootscreen for Cyanogen mod. AND SUCCESS! IT JUST PASSED THAT SCREEN AS I WAS TYPING!
I am indebted to you, you glorious man! Thank you so very much I'll keep you guys posted (for better or worse)!
Hope it will be fine. I will keep an eye out here

So I tried updating the camera (?) as a suggested update after getting back into my phone, and it's already stuffed up again. It rebooted and said that root access has possibly been lost. What's happening now?
Doesn't appear to be a big issue for now, actually. Reset, not caused any problems since then! Managed to get google apps working, and downloaded a bunch of the apps I need All's well!
Thanks one again!
Alright ! Hope i don't see you here again
Hi all - I have been searching these threads for hours and hope I can bother for some assistance. I too have soft bricked, I went to install Android Revolution HD 33.1 but missed a step. I am currently Tampered, unlocked, and S-On. I have TWRP v2.5.0.0. When I mount the sd card in TWRP, and try to copy files over, I get a message from the PC to format the sd card - I didn't for fear of wiping out everything and hardbricking the phone. I am a noob when it comes to using commands/fastboot to copy files over. I am sorry to ask, but can someone please help me with exactly what to type?
Oh - and do I need to use philz recovery since I have TRWP installed and can access?

uh oh, that doesn't sound good for me...I don't have the XL version, just the one X. Will that matter? Did I flash this baby using files for the XL when I should have used something else?
No you don't read well. You have the HTC one XL (EVITA) and this forum is for the ENDEAVORU HTC one X international version.
We here have the quad core and you there have the dual core phone !
