HTC One X : The Disaster Fix

Hye XDAs members..I want to share my experience with you..
I have been through with a lot of trouble since I made something, kinda stupid with my phone..
The 'disaster', than I mention on the title is, when:
1. I have made full wipe
2. No ROM on sdcard (forgot to place it!)
3. I can't restore my nandroid backup due to md5 mismatch error!
4. Bootloop
So with that problem, means that I can't open my sdcard to place any ROM in it. Bootloop is not a big issue here, but the real deal was I can't have the access to my sdcard. Then the trouble begin when I can't boot, and stuck on HTC boot screen.
This was what I have done, to recover my phone. Hope I can help someone out there that having the same problem as I am. I have access to fastboot, so:
1. I flash a custom recovery, in my case I chose ClockwordMod Touch Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
2. After that, I put in these command to made my sdcard opened:
adb devices
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sys/devices/platform/fsl-tegra-udc/gadget/lun0/file
3. The sdcard was opened successfully! I copied my choice of custom ROM, which was Charmeleon v5.0.0, to the sdcard. I also copied Super Wipe script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
4. After that I go to fastboot, flash the kernel, and went back straight to the recovery. I flashed the Super Wipe script, and then I flashed the ROM, reboot.
5. Finally I have my phone fully functioning again!
This tutorial was done in Windows 7. I have tried this on Windows 8 but unfortunately Windows 8 failed to recognize the commands due to lack of HTC drivers support. I haven't tried it on Ubuntu, yet.
Before you make everything, make sure you have charge you battery fully!
So I hope this thread here will be able to help somebody. Finally thanks to everybody here. Have a good day mates!

Why would anybody use the adb commands to copy anything to the SD card, it is already included/enabled (mount -->mount USB memory-->done) in the new recovery

I will definitely DO THAT, if I can..in my case, I CAN'T..
That is why I wrote this, for those who can't..I don't know what is wrong with cwm, but because of that error, I have to do all of that command..

What can cause that:
1. You didnt instal the latest CWM
2. You didnt mount the right thing ...
3. You have bad drivers ...
But it is most probably the first one...

I have install the latest CWM..I think it was caused by the Windows 8, that didn't support HTC drivers..I tried this on my wife laptop which is powered by Windows 7, and wal-lah, the drivers installed successfully..Windows 8 Release Preview still need some final touch before it goes to the market..I love Windows 8, but have to stick with Windows 7 after this case happened to me..
I don't really care if I haven't flash the latest CMW, what I do care is about people out there who have the same problem as I am..I just wanted to help them, and myself..

My thoughts exactly.
That supports the theory above that the incorrect CWM was installed.
The previous versions couldn't mount the USB Storage, but as of the latest CWM, you can.
While that was a cool trick, I think installing the lastest CWM recovery image would have solved a lot of these issues from the get-go

Recovery
Hello,
After the fastboot command did you then reboot into recovery?
Once in recovery, my windows XP does not see any device attached. Should I see a device attached while in recovery?
If I should, where can I get this driver? I tried installing PDA.net to get this, but still there is no device found, and so no way to use ADB.
I'm stuck because I have to send system modules after sending a boot.img, but there is no way.
Edit: Ahh I fixed this by updating my CWM from 5.8.3.1 to 5.8.4.0!

md5 mismatch error
greetings...
first off i m very new (noob) in these rooting, ROMing etc of the HOX

You need to push the correct boot.IMG via fastboot before you flash the Rom that's usually cause of bootloop plus not clearing cache

You have to flash the kernel of your ROM from bootloader..
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Then try to restore your backup..

[Q] [HELP] Trying to flash TWRP on V50020b

Im trying to flash TWRP on my v50020b but cannot seem to do it. Its currently on the stock 4.4.2 GB rom. Please can someone advise me how to do this.
Thank You.

You can use dd to write the aboot.img of 4.2.2 back. This will allow the old Loki flash method.

I had the same problem until I ran across this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267 {Acually the same you quoted}
If you'll go down to the download Step #3 and copy that zip file to your computer and unzip it and run the bat file it will install TWRP v2.7. Of course you'll have to install the LG USB drivers and install from your computer. (Won't work otherwise) Also be sure and use the second down connection for USB on your tablet - M-something, but not the charging one.
Also - get a good reboot app so you won't have to hold the buttons.

You're quoting an old post (way back in April 2014).
1st - Do you have a recovery installed?
2nd - If so, you should update to at least TWRP 2.800
I may be confused about exactly what you are doing...now if you're only booting with the buttons (power-sound down, sound up) that is the message you get and you have to push 'power' 2 times to enter recovery. Are you doing that when you see the display of android recovery after using the cold boot, then the volume and power buttons?? And you are expecting to see TWRP opening, but instead of going straight to TWRP recovery - you're getting what you say 'Android Recovery', or Factory Reset?
Post back so we will understand please. Hope I'm not being confusing in my answers...

I know that is an old post. I was trying to flash the TWRP recovery without any downgrade of the software, since this method was suposed to work with the software version V50020b.
I simply want to flash TWRP recovery, the tablet is all stock with root (TowelRoot), but I just realised that I have to downgrade the software (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58198471&postcount=44), and wanted to avoid this! I already softbricked the tablet with only 3h of usage, and now I'm a little afraid! lol
Do you now any method that works without the downgrade trick?
Thanks.

Flash TWRP with flashify (root) - (from Play Store).
This *should* work & if not I think no harm will come ... Flashify.app just won't 'work' if things are not correct.
Good luck!

I would shut the tablet completely down.
You should be able to use the 'buttons' to get to 'Factory Reset'. Do what you know: Power/+down then all 3. If you can't get to TWRP, it must not be installed.
Check with a command window. Be sure & use 'su'. Ask a guru 'how'...I may not be 'expert' enough!

if u dun mind, can u upload these to dropbox? (in my area, mediafire is blocked )
http://www.mediafire.com/download/q0..._Stock.1.4.zip
http://www.mediafire.)com/download/z...g_Version).zip
I can't revert to stock recovery .. it stuck in waiting device (cuz i think usb debugging is not on)
My room is already on B510.
I think the problem (stuck on huawei logo and there is no os) occurs bcoz I accidentally wipe all data (Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Custom Storage, Data, Internal Storage) via TWRP.
What can I do to install OS?

download this stock recovery first
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973625
^ after you download extract and rename it's file to recovery.img
then
If you can still access your twrp try rebooting in bootloader mode then>
use your adb /fastboot on pc
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then follow the instructions above for how to reinstall your android os
also to download those mediafire files try using http://onlineproxyfree.com/
also in the future when using twrp never format internal or external memory..

Hello,
Thanks again bro. but i still have problems.
in CMD, when i typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", it's still in waiting for device.
For "onlineproxyfree(dot)com", it's also blocked by FortiGuard Web Filtering.
Yeah.. I won't format internal / ext again
I already installed adb drivers to my laptop.

hmm try rebooting your phone directly into fastboot> hold vol- and power continuously till it boots in fastboot>plug phone back in> then try flashing the recovery again
also make sure to replace your drivers with the ones in the software i provided the link for, also remove any huawei pc sync or whatever the name of the pc software was, it sometimes clashes with adb
maybe try using tor for downloading from mediafire.

Please Help! Accidentally fastbooted CF-Auto-Root-Bundle (for xperia z1) !

Hello People,
yesterday I spent the whole day trying to figure out how to root my phone. In the end I found a tutorial on chip.de but overread it was for the non compact version.
So I used fastboot to flash these files Z_DooMLoRD_CF-Auto-Root-ported_FW-350.img” and “Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img
Well, as you might guess it didn't work.
Now it doesn' boot anymore.
Does anyone have a suggestion what I could do now. Phone is still recognized in fastboot or sonyflashtool and can enter download mode.
Thanks for your time

Assuming you have some ROM zip or backup on your phone somewhere that you can flash, this will get you into recovery:
Download boot IMG here - https://mega.nz/#!QsEUTY6K!MCc5GZMGgFu66C8ECtdrtQ64jOQ_1MDPWglyxAP5Gu4
Download recovery IMG here - https://mega.nz/#!E4UQwIoZ!UFpur2wY3tIAU7SdjuEg5fUA6N4BAVwX_TeK_CFpTyo
Copy both to /adb directory on computer, then:
fastboot flash boot boot.img, then:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
Then start phone, and press volume up or down when you see the led.

Thank you very much ! This got me into recovery! Now the problem is that I have no backup and no rom.zip on my phone. Is there a way to put a fitting file on the phone?
Edit: Ok now I found out I can put a rom.zip on my sd card and then mount sd card in twrp and install rom fron there, right? Could somebody point me towards a stock rom preferably with root access?

@levone1 Well, unfortunately this didnt work. Got stuck while flashing... By the way the first two files were twrp and the second was cyanogen recover. Now I fastbooted twrp again.
Do I have to root first?

Second link was a zip with CM boot img and twrp3 img. The boot img probably includes CM recovery, but if you flash the twrp3 img, you should be able to get into twrp 3, which will flash the rom.
Make sure your fastboot command matches the filename.

Alternately you could flash CM11 - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...T3Zoa6K8nDjMW3OlQ&sig2=-5eFhWzJFl7zHnNgDnrUXQ - with the first boot/recovery, then download a different rom, and use Rashr app to flash boot img from that rom.
Or, use Flashtool to flash stock, then root, etc

[Rom][Android 10][T830/T835] [Rooted/Debloated][TF5][Weta Kernel][July 26]

Hey Guys,
I present you the Custom Rom for T830 :good: Clean, Fast, Smooth and will be updated in regular basis.
And as we say always "VOTE" and if you Vote Not working please take the time to explain. Thank you
Now V2.3
Credits:
Thank you to @sevsman that create this beautiful ROM, Incredible job making it so fast. I am only the tester and I am glad to be able to share with you all.
Thank you to @Mentalmuso for his great kernel Weta latest TF5
Thank you to @topjohnwu for Magisk
Thank you to the creator of the Encryption Disabler @ianmacd
As usual I am not responsible for any damage cause to your tablet flashing this ROM:angel:
Some advice for newbies:
DRIVERS
There is no way to use PC with USB cable and flash with ODIN if you have not intaled the Samsung Drivers, search for these with your PC browser
OEM UNLOCKING
Go to settings/ About tablet/ Software information/ press build number 7 times to activate DEV mod
Go bac to setting down Developer Options that now apear
Tick Unlock OEM Your tablet will reboot and wipe everything so backup
Redo all setup Finish it even update if needed
FORCE REBOOT
Press and hold 3 keys Power/ Vol+/ Vol-
RECOVERY MODE
Power off tablet
Press and hold Power/ Vol+
DOWNLOAD MODE
For me the only thing that works is is at the same time force reboot when tablet off and connect usb cable to computer.
FLASHING ANYTHING WITH ODIN
ROM:
Place AP in AP
CSC_CSC_xxxxx in CSC
Place BL in BL
TWRP
Untick reboot in second tab
Place TWRP in AP
CHECK IF YOU NEED TO FORMAT DATA IN RECOVERY MODE
Boot in recovery mode
Select install
Select Storage on the bottom
If internal is 0mb you need to format data before doing anything that will allow you to wipe or zip anything but will cleann all you have on the tablet so Backup before
ROM FEATURES
Stock TF5
Rooted with Magisk latest and Weta Kernel latest
Heavy Debloat, most of the stuff you can install with Playstore is gone + some unneeded Samsung and Google stuff. No Knox, No Bixby, no Kids stuff, No digital wellbeing, No Microsoft stuff. It could definitely be cleaner; well that's for next version with maybe some more tweaking on Google and Samsung to reinforce privacy and improve battery life. Give us your ideas.
For now you still get Samsung Account, Samsung Store, Samsung DEX, Samsung Notes, Google Account, Google Playstore and Google
If you want to debloat more install Debloater module in Magisk and run it from Termius (Playstore) Example I got rid of Samsung Video Player, My Files, and hide Phone and Message as I don't use these and my App screen has no more than 11 apps before installing what I need.
Also for some interesting tweaking follow this thread and get rid of all: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/how-to/tweak-tab-s4-debloat-root-plugins-t4088699 still work pretty good except XPosed (Too bad!), Proca and few others but to disable big brothers It works fine. This is a great thread by @doggydog2
How To Flash this Rom:
OEM SHOULD BE UNLOCKED. THERE IS NO WAY TO TO THE FOLLOWING WITHOUT THIS STEP.
You need TWRP Installed. You can use flashify if you are already rooted to flash the new TWRP. If you don't know how refer to this thread from Mentalmuso: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-0-sm-t83x-t3928278
Reboot in Recovery
Factory reset, Wipe all but SD, Format Data (Very Important) (YOU WILL BE LOSING ALL YOUR DATAS SO BACKUP WHAT YOU NEED)
Flash the Zip file
Flash Encryption Disabler for now https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-0-sm-t83x-t3928278 Thread from Metalmuso, look in Android 10 forlder
Reboot
Finish setup
Update Google Apps
Update Samsung Apps
Launch Magisk and press OK , device will reboot
Enjoy!
If you need to pass ctsProfile to true, flash "[MODULE] MagiskHide Props Config - SafetyNet, prop edits" from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228/post83146179 Downlaod magisk module,open termiux SU, Launch props select "2 Basic Autentification"
That doesnt fix Netflix in L1 even hidding Magisk. We wiill not implement that in the next update.
If you have issues with Bluetooth pairing not sticking after reboot go to Magisk, download module Bluetooth Library patcher 1.9 and install itin magisk, that will solve the issue.
Changes v2.3:
Fix /data not mounted
Fix Bluetooth not keeping devices BT after reboot

Thanks looks interesting. Will this be available for the SM-T835? if so i will definitely like to try it out

A huge thanks to @ianmacd for the disabler because without it we'd all be in the can :good:
Here's v1 for the T835 and @enotar will update the first post later today.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A8YHmPy7zSEY8sOz8qE3Achl1qTmu3hA/view?usp=drivesdk

Sweet! Nice to see our Tabs have not been forgotten about. Look forward to giving this a try!

Google Drive folder T830 and link to T830 rom shared to all.

@enotar This is extremely exciting as I didn't think there'd be support like this for the Tab S4! I just have a question before I attempt this: Do I need to already be on Android 10 before flashing this rom or am I able to flash it from Android 9? I'm asking because I have the WETA Kernal + TWRP + Magisk installed, but on Android 9 (T830). Because of this, I'm not able to use system update to update to Android 10. If not, is there another way to flash this rom?

ive used same combination, and upgrade method looks like this: flash frresh twrp 3406 img right from twrp, wipe everything from recovery, and flash this rom.

Can you explain more detailed as I have no issue here with Iris
And yes Android 10 is not needed just TWRP and BTW you need to come with something, 8, 9 or 10 to install TWRP
I will repeat myself do not wipe SD dont cross the box, you'll be very sad.

May I ask what BTW is?

This is how it looks for me(see attached file)
Moreover, i can't use intelligent scan, cause it says "can't open camera"
I thought this is because backup i used(who knows), but with second clean install everything is still the same

Installation went so smoothly. Thank you for this excellent rendition of a debloated Stock ROM. I had a debloated version on my old Tab S2 tablet. So far so good. :good::good::good::good::good:

BTW means "by the way", it's not a file, lol. (Also I didn't see that someone mentioned this before me, sorry)

I keep getting "Failed to mount '/data' when I go to install... hmm... does anyone have any idea?
Currently running TWRP 3.4.0.4 and Android 9.0.1
Do I need to use a lower version of twrp?
I reboot, and I just get the bootloop now.

You need to use TWRP 3.4.0-6 not -4 and this thread Post 2 step by step: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-0-sm-t83x-t3928278

Hmm ok, I upgraded to 3.4.0-6 and still the same error and bootloop. I flashed the image and not through ODIN to install it to recovery.
I will go through and install the WETA kernel and encryption disabler.

Followed exactly, but every operation I try to do be it wipe or install, I get "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
I'm assuming there is a corruption in my /data and I need to reformat. I'll report back after.
