I am running stock Froyo 2.2 with an unlocked bootloader and have flashed roms to my phone before. I wanted to flash the new cyanogenmod rom onto my phone, but when I try to install clockwork mod it says I need to be root. I tried to use Modaco's superboot method but my phone won't be detected in adb (it is detected in fastboot). Have tried everything I've read. USB tethering is off, unplugged multiple times, reinstalled sdk, ran adb as root. Any help?

So I flashed a new recovery, TWRP 2.6.0. When I try flashing a new ROM now, I'm getting the following error "Could not create file for updater extract in /tmp/updater." And for some reason, the ROM I had installed previously, TrickDroid 10, is no longer there, so there is no longer a bootable OS on my phone. I tried reinstalling the recovery I had before, TWRP 2.3.3, but I can't get my phone to connect to adb or fastboot. I installed the drivers, but neither command is recognizing my phone, even when in the bootloader.
I would really appreciate some help as I am completely stuck right now. No OS, not able to flash any ROM.
EDIT: I am not using S-OFF, and my hboot is 1.09.0000. I understand I have an outdated hboot, and newer ROMS such as the latest CM nightlies won't flash, but not even older roms, like CM 10.0 are flashing.
Also, to clarify my fastboot issues, Whenever I am in fastboot mode in recovery, it will only change to "FASTBOOT USB" if I scroll up or down - this happens regardless of if it is plugged in to the USB port or not. This used to work on my old comp, so I don't know why it isn't right now.
i think im having the same problem, can you access your sd card through your pc ?
If the "Fastboot USB" come red and you do not have plug in, then the bootloader could be mess up or you charge port "stuck". Does you phone charge, when plug in?. I would try to run RUU and see what happen.
Best bet would probably be to factory reset the whole phone. I had this happen once and I used a recovery I found on here, that puts it back to the stock recovery and let's you reset. From there you can do everything again
Hello,
I got this HTC One X from AT&T (->evita) and tried to get CM 10.2.1 running on that.
The steps I made:
Boot into bootloader, go to fastboot, then get the identifier, get unlock token via htcdev and unlocked it with fastboot.
I then flashed CWM 6.0.4.6 for evita via "fastboot flash recovery *filename*". Now I booted into CWM (recovery) and wiped everything instead of first trying to copy the cm.zip onto the sdcard. (I also didnt do this when the stock ROM was still running...)
Now I can access the phone via fastboot in the bootloader but I can not use adb or the USB mount when in CWM. Whenever I plug the phone into my computer (or laptop, doesn't matter. Also tried switching between USB 2 and 3 ports!) Windows keeps making the "unplugged" sound every second.
Reinstalling the latest HTC drivers did not change anything.
Anyone here knows a way how I can stop that or get the zip file on the memory? I also tried flashing the boot.img on boot and tested if I can copy the file then through CWM but that did not work.
Hoping,
NyphoX
Not sure if it'll work but try using TWRP recovery instead:

Installed the most recent version.
I get into the recovry and when I plug it into a computer Windows will keep making the "unplugged"-noise.
I can see the sdcard-directory perfectly when I hit install in both, TWRP and CWM but when I want to mount it via USB it will not change anything and I cannot access it on my PC.
adb doesn't list any device either.
Also, TWRP and CWM keep telling me that my phone is not rooted, when I try to power off or restart. Is that normal?
My other HTC One X (non AT&T) just works fine with cwm 5.*.*.*
It's normal for the recovery to inform you that you're not rooted, it'll suggest that you install superuser but there's no point doing that in your case because you have no working OS installed. Did you at any point perform a factory reset from the bootloader? If so, you've corrupted the internal storage (known bug on modified Evitas) and will need to wipe it with TWRP.

Saw that in your Q&A.
I wiped the internal_sd and tested it after but it still did not work. I also tried a factory reset through TWRP but that did not help either.
Both recovery programs keep telling me "E:Unable to mount '/cache'.
Still not working. Q_Q
Update: I got like the oldest laptop I ever owned and installed the most recent HTC drivers there and tried to mount it. It told me in device manager that the "evita" is not recognized. When I let Windows search automatically it installed the drivers and I am now able to access the memory.
I can only assume what the problem was but it seems like the HTC One X (endeavoru) driver and the evita don't like each other...
TL;DR trying to install now. Will edit.
//EDIT: Windows still screws when I plug the phone to the other computer/laptop, so I just have to use the old machine now. Still thanks for your help, timmaaa!
//EDIT: It does work when I booted CM and enable the USB storage at the other two machines.
Hi, I could use a little help. I've flashed a few roms before, but I really got myself into a tough spot this time. I downloaded Slimrom because the one I flashed before that would slow my device down and generally just didn't run as good as I had hoped. I went into TWRP recovery, wiped the caches, flashed the rom and gapps, but it said that the archive/s were corrupt. I have a few backups, but they are all on an external hard drive. I knew I had to get the Android SDK, Java JDK, New ROM, and use adb if I wanted to fix it, but this is where I've been running into a few problems.
I made sure that the drivers for the phone were installed, I kept getting errors though. I looked at the device manager and it shows the yellow triangle and if I try to troubleshoot it says that there are no compatible drivers for my phone. I looked back at the device manager and noticed it connected with the Media Transfer. I can see the device in adb at the bootloader, but not at the recovery. When I push the rom to the phone from the bootloader using adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip. This fails to copy and says there is no directory. Using adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ it fails and says it is a directory. I've tried more than this, but I can't seem to get it pushed/sideloaded onto my d800 G2.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice. I apologize if I have been doing it wrong the whole time, it's my first time having to use adb.
UPDATE: I got it into download mode and flashed the stock KK update. Thanks anyways
Quick note: I'm very new to all this so I don't really know entirely what's going on.
Alright, basically I'm trying to install the Paranoid Android ROM and I've run into a bit of an issue. I've unlocked the bootloader and flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery. The problem I've ran into is that when I go into the CWM recovery and attempt to do anything with ADB it comes up with "error: device not found"
What am I doing wrong?
Sidenote: ADB can find my phone if it's booted up normally, it's only when I boot to the CWM custom recovery that it can't find it...
I think you are doing it wrong way buddy..
Boot in to Bootloader mode not in CWM Recovery, then try with fastboot and check again..
I did boot into bootloader, then went to CWM and tried to push the ROM using ADB but it wasn't recognising my phone.
Doesn't matter now anyway. I got around it by literally just drag and dropping the zip files onto my phone's internal memory when it was booted up normally and connected to my PC. Then I rebooted into the bootloader, flashed CWM and installed from ZIP. That method was far easier than messing around with ADB etc.
Okay, happy post Vday. :good:
So, Im trying to root an unlocked Blu J1, running Marsh. 6.0.
I recently reset it, due to perf. issues & now trying to root.
My setup is Win7, w/ the latest Usb drivers through Sdk & UniversalAdb. I have Usb debugging active on the phone & the device shows at command level with Adb devices & in Fastboot mode**Ive unlocked the bootloader on the phone itself, & then xferred the Twrp.img files different times.
The twrp files were the latest 2 off the site Twrp.me as of 02/15. Its a successful transfer on fastboot, which is good. but when I go to restart, it shows as stock recovery studio_j1_6.0/user/release-keys but not the touch responsive Twrp. ..
I eventually want to use Su or Magisk zip to gain root. The phone remains bootloader unlocked which is good. I've tried the Adb command, adb root, and then went through these steps, -still nothing. Im on the hunt for recent clockwork mod, to try that way, only ones are like '11 or'12.
So, is the stock recovery hard coded. -it doesnt have 2 separate partit-I ran a partit check just in case. I also went to grab the omnirom androidrecovery 6.0 off Github at github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/tree/android-6.0, but its .zip. And when I apply updates through Sd card update in stock recovery, I get install aborted across the board on any .zips.. Im on the waiting list for Kingroot to add my device. so thats good.
Either way Android SU shows as not rooted once fully on.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
