Boot loop on HTC ONE X (international version)

I've been looking around a lot and I'm seriously to the point where I'm totally confused, I have my friend's HTC ONE X (international version) where we followed Hsasoon2000's tool kit (which also uses htcdev website) to unlock the boot loader and it apparently did and everything was good but when we tried to install the CM10 rom for jellybean using his toolkit the phone got into this "boot loop" and we can't figure how to fix it.. we can get to the bootloader.. where if we select recovery it takes us to this "team win recovery project" thing and gives us several options but .. we are pretty new to this and we don't want to screw this even more. We also tried to clear the cache and it didn't work. Through the team win recovery project I can mount USB storage and get to the phone's files, if this helps somehow.. can any of you guys help please?? WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT

The problem is the HOX doesn't accept the boot.img from the zip file you downloaded..... which means you need to find the CM10 rom thread and download the boot.img for that rom, flash that first through the bootloader, then flash the rom. You'll be good to go then.
Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for the response, do you know any video or any instructions we can follow to do this correctly.. like we mentioned we are both REALLY new to this and we are pretty lost.

There are lots of such information in the net or xda. But in short:
0. Put the CM10 zip in your sd card.
1. You probably need the recovery (have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819)
2. As said you need to flash the boot.img manually. The easiest is to download Android Revolution HD boot.img zip. (go Android Development section to look for the thread). Extract the boot.img from CM10 and put it in the ARHD boot.img zip (inside fastboot sub directory IIRC, replace that boot.img-- **must**). Follow his instruction. If you want to learn more, read his script; very straight-forward.
3. Boot into recovery and choose to install CM10 zip you put in your SD.

It's easier to conect the phone to the pc and do adb command from the dosprompt - location fastboot folder
Adb restart bootloader
It will bring you straight to the bootloader :thumbup:

I did not. I think this phone is a clone. Do you know how to find out?

Try to enter the bootloader menu, hold the volume down & the power button together and wait until the phone restarts and enters the bootloader menu
It has all sorts of info there

Is the phone working ? I mean a running OS , is there some software info inside ?

One X - recover stuck on red triangle, no mobile, no wi-fi

Hi all,
I've tried to install newer InsertCoin ROM, during HBOOT update, the phone booted to his current ROM with no Wi-Fi or Mobile access, recovery stuck with red triangle, Trying to install some custom recovery using fastboot v1.2 - got "writing recovery - failed not allowed" message. What is the fastest way to get phone back to work?

Did you re-unlock the bootloader after updating the hboot?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Not allowed error is when the bootloader is locked or relocked. Unlock it via the htcdev site and flash a custom rexovery. Then flash the boot img from the new rom, make a FULL wipe in the recovery and install the new rom !

The phone os S-ON , is it ok? Should I flash new image using flashboot or other interface? Thanks In Advance

I'm not talking about S-On ....I'm talking about a locked or relocked bootloader.
Is it unlocked ?
When you succesfully updated your hboot with a firmware flash you MUST unlock the bootloader, flash a new custom recovery, install a new JB rom and flash its boot.img
A custom gets broken when you update the hboot because locking/unlocking will set the phone to factory state. So it will delete the current custom rom.

Also could you, guys, elaborate why my original ROM started to act spooky - no Wi-FI and so on.

Probably because you updated the hboot. You have to start from scratch after that. It gets messed up

I did as you proposed, unlocked bootloader, installed CWM recovery, wiped data, dalvik cache and installed the InsertCoin ROM, the issue - that I got same problems - Wi -Fi displayed error and not started, SIM is not recognized, no network. Could you please advise what to do now?

Flash the boot.img from the insertcoin rom !

did you flash the boot.img and erase fastboot cache?

Inside the insertcoin rom there will be a a boot.img.
you will need to write this in fast boot.

Extract the boot.img to your fastboot folder and the rest to /clockworkmod/backup/todaysdate
Go to fastboot and flash the boot.img and then fastboot erase cache
Go to recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvic and then go to backup and restore and restore the nandroid backup. Reboot!

Make sure there's an OTA update available for your CID or not first! The 3.20 update hasn't been rolled out for all devices yet!
One more thing, if you want to update via OTA, then you also need to flash a stock recovery for your base!

You mean something like this? com.android.process stopped working? If so, then perform a factory reset via bootloader...
OTA = Over The Air Updates for your phone... Yes, you have a fully stock ROM, but the recovery your using is a custom one! (CWM)... So you need to first flash the stock recovery!
Dowload this : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ms7vd18vb9watr8/stock recovery 3.14.img
Flash it via fastboot and then fastboot erase cache... and then wait for OTA update!

Bro check wether you have used supported font pack.
There might be error because of wrong font pack.
Now have you taken your previous ROMs backup before installing new ROM?
If yes then revert back by using that backup.
And if not then reflash your current ROM.

Buddy i think the application you have installed has made some changes to kernel which mighe be irriversible.
So you can now flash a custom recovery and flash a new custom ROM.
Use this http://androidlegend.com/how-to-install-custom-clockworkmod-recovery-on-htc-one-v/ guide to flash a custom recovery.
And then try this guide to install a new ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34236649#post34236649
you can find custom ROM list which are supported on htc one v here.
http://alchemistar.blogspot.in/2012/10/htc-one-v-rom-list.html
Just go through each and every guide step by step. And read it properly and then try it.
And you will now have a problem to connect your phone to pc to copy ROM.zip for that u can remove your sdcard and use a card reader to connect it to your desktop.
And just be calm. You can make your HOV alive. :good:

Sense your unlocked you can flash a custom recovery using fastboot as i would use twrp. An then download supersu.zip an flash it in your newly installed twrp recovery. An now you are rooted.

Maybe I didn't explain properly my bootloader is not unlocked yet, just wanted to know since the update is there a new root method....? Thanks for replying

You should be able to use htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader Or you can go the s-off way(which I recommend) use the sunshine app for s-off(if your device is capable of s-off now) an if it is sunshine will s-off an unlock for you an then do what I said above post. Those r really your only 2 choices.

FYI you will need to be on either of the latest two twrp versions to install su binaries properly if you have issues. Sunshine wouldn't work for me but its really easy to unlock bootloader and install twrp and su

If i'm s-off already I should be able to run the latest RUU to get me up to date with the firmware and then flash TWRP and then a rom correct?

You could do that yes. Or just flash the firmware zip an then flash twrp an flash updated ROM an you r up to date....if you run ruu it will wipe your device so backup your stuff to a PC or external an then proceed with ruu an flashing twrp then ROM. After you flash twrp I recommend strongly to make a backup of stock before you wipe to flash new ROM.

Cool. The firmware zip would not be Tmo-M8-4.20.531.4-recovery.img or would it?

Sounds like the recovery IMG. I have Vzw but I help all over. I think I have a T-Mobile 4.4.4 firmware. Let me check my file host

I guess i'm confused because of my Hboot being on 3.19. I've been wondering if there is a need to run a higher Hboot that probably came out with the new OTA, but the VenonRom 4.2 has been running with no problems. So i guess what I am really trying to achieve is upgrading HBoot and Radio.

One other question in the zip am I seeing correctly that there is no boot.img and recovery.img or are they renamed to something other?

Those r removed. Why you wonder because if boot.IMG is included an your on a custom ROM that don't use stock boot.IMG an modules you will be in a boot loop till you fastboot your ROM boot.img an recovery is removed because who wants a stock recovery to replace twrp then you have to flash your twrp back. Make sense to you?

Yes it does. Guess was just double checking that they were removed from the zip that was downloaded. Great so then at this point i should be good to fastboot flash this zip. Thanks again.

Yes you should be able to fastboot flash in ruu mode the firmware zip. If it ask to reflush immediately just re flash rt then an it will start the process. You know how to flash in ruu mode or ?
