Installing Rom ?

Is there anyway to install a rom on to the phone other than from a sd card. My phone won't recognize the sd card when I go to the boot screen ..

Not that I know of. The only ROMs that can be installed without the SD card are stock Motorola sbf. OpenRecovery on XT720 requires a working SD card.
We may be able to help debug your card problem, though. But I'm not sure what problem you're describing. Which boot screen?

The issue I'm having with my phone is when I power it up the the Moto symbol shows and that's it. So I wanted to reinstall another Rom.. When I try to get into the boot mode, I get an error that it can't read my sd card..

I don't understand what you mean by "boot mode"? Are you talking about Open Recovery or bootloader mode or normal boot or something else?
If you're talking about Open Recovery, have you tried taking the card out of the phone and mounting it on a computer to make sure that you have both of the OpenRecovery.zip and OpenRecovery directories?

Sorry, I don't know too much about the terminology when it comes to these things.. I'm trying to get to the bootloader screen .When installing the rom onto the phone what files do I need to have on the sd card ?

The bootloader is used to flash Motorola sbf files from your PC.
OpenRecovery is used to flash custom ROMs (Dexter's, khalpowers, MIUI, etc).
For OpenRecovery to work you have to have an OpenRecovery.zip and an OpenRecovery directory on your SD card (the zip and the directory have different files in them and they're both required). To boot into OpenRecovery hold volume up while powering on. OpenRecovery also has to be installed in the ROM, but since you've already flashed one it should be there.

-SOLVED- [Q] Trying to root, but can't boot into CWM...can anyone help?

I was using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078019 to unlock, install CWM, and then root. Unlocking was fine, installing that version of CWM seemed okay, but when I enter command "fastboot reboot", then hold down the volume - button after 3 seconds of the Moto logo showing, then pressing the volume + key, I get only 1 option....-->Android Recovery. I press the Volume + key, get "Entering Android Recovery Mode", and below that "Reading ODM Fuse 1", then the screen switches to an android with a yellow hazard sign in his tummy.
From that screen, if I press Volume + and power, I see:
Android system recovery <3e>
Use volume keys to highlight; power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from USB drive
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I don't get a choice to apply something from the microSD card I have installed with the WiFi_RootTool_3.1.zip I put on the card.
Has anyone had this happen? I can't ask in the development forum. I also just got the Xoom back from a repair, and it was wiped to stock, then I did the 3.1 update when I got it back this morning. Is the fuse thing something they may have done to block rooting?

Have you tried reformat your sd card?

I'll try that. But would that stop it from going into recovery?

I reformatted my sd card, but I still can't get CWM to work and boot into recovery. Same message-
-->Android Recovery
Entering Android Recovery Mode
Reading ODM fuse: 1
And that's it....no options to load the root zip from an SD card or anything. Is there a way to push root without using the SD card? Or is that ODM fuse thing making it impossible?

Nothing at all to do with CWM.
OP: Try flashing the recovery again. To get into recovery, type adb reboot recovery, or use an app such as Quick Boot.
Edit: You can't use CWM to root, you need to do that first.

I have to root first? I'm not sure how to do it....can't find any other methods of rooting 3.1....everything on Google just points me to the same method, using the SD card that won't work cuz I can't boot into recovery. Ugh.

Hey jump hour PM me.

Hey guys,
I called JumpHour and we tried to troubleshoot this over the phone. We aren't able to get into the recovery because of error "reading odm fuse: 1". The OP is using Windows 7 64 BIT and has the SDK installed properly. He updated the sources and installed them so those are up to date. We also verified that USB debugging was enabled and that the correct files were in the tools section in the SDK folder.
We ran the commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot-recovery ........ (we typed it in correctly accoriding the thread)
fastboot reboot
and we get that error message.
This was all initiated while the Xoom was powered on. JumpHour stated that he had to send his Xoom back to Moto because his Xoom got messed up during the re-locking process when he unrooted a one click root and re-locked.
We then went ahead and downloaded the recovery image again and replace the one in the tools folder. We ran the commands again and we were getting the same error.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this process? Are we missing something? Is something broken?

Get the official images. I am assuming you have a USA 3g or wifi model.
Follow the steps to return the device to stock. But do not issue the reclock bootloader command. There is no need to relock.
From there power up the device and turn on USB debugging.
Then adb reboot into recovery. That should bring you to the stock recovery.
If all goes well from here just do what ever else you where intending to do in the first place.
You most likely can just flash the stock recovery but I would just do a full flash back to official images minus relocking bootloader.

Then let the ota update it to 3.1 and so on.

What's the status JumpHour? Did you get it to work. I told you it may have been due to the images. Hopefully that fixes your issue. Take care dude.

Hi, thanks for the response. I'm gonna try it now. I was up REALLY late last night, and just got up a little while ago. I'll definately respond after I try it out.

Finally, I did it!
Okay, I fixed it finally. Reloaded the stock images, and it's now rooted with SD support. Yay! Only took 2 days!
Thanks for all your help guys.

Can reflashing with original images fix recovery mode mount problem?
Does any window is flashing to the original images can restore access to the sdcard IF the recovery mode in the official recovery mode (not CWM) says that you cannot mount the sdcard?

Help with brick

I flashed the wrong version of the synergy rom on my evo and now cant get anything to work. shows s-on now and recovery is not working. it wont flash a new pc image or recognize the sd card. I cant find a download for unrevoked. any ideas?

OK. Fixed my own problem. For those of you who brick this way; or any other. Grab PC36IMG file from this link androidcentral.com/evo-4g-root-instructions.
Place on root of SD card. Volume down/power button at same time to boot into bootloader. It will ask if you want to install the update. Say yes. When done it will ask to reboot. You will now have a re-rooted phone.
You may have to flash a recovery image. Go to Amon Ra and grab from there. You will need to name it PC36IMG and again place on root of sd card. Update as above. Should be good to go.

ROM won't boot, can't get to recovery, only bootloader

I was running the Hypernonsense ROM and wanted to try a diff kernel. I flashed the newest faux kernel and now it's stuck at the first boot screen.
I do a battery pull and can voldown + power and get to the bootloader, but the problem there is that it sees the latest 3.32 P58IMG update on my SD card every time and won't let me select any other options. I can flash that over and over, but it's still sticking at the first boot screen, doesn't make it to the ROM's bootup screen.

Delete PG58IMG.zip.
Hang on, isn't Hyper-non-Sense ROM based on ICS? Faux's kernel's are only for Gingerbread based ROMs. Reflash the ROM to restore the 'stock' kernel.

help please

How do I get to a point where I can delete the IMG file or reflash...it's just "stuck".

take the sd card out,
boot the phone into the boot loader
go to recovery
it will start counting down or whatever looking for the sd card
put the card back in
it will see the sd card
it will continue on into recovery
connect to pc
mount usb in recovery
delete img file
reboot now if you like everything will be back to normal
* i believe this will also work if you put the sd card in after the bootloader is loaded before you go to recovery, the card just needs to be not present while the bootloader is loading. i believe it checks the card when it loads the bootloader, but after the bootloader comes up you can put the card back in then proceed to recovery

Ok, I was able to have it plugged into my laptop, voldown+power until I heard windows "bing" like a new device connected.
Then I went to a command prompt where I have adb installed and ran
adb devices
To make sure it was connected and it was. Then I ran
adb reboot recovery
And now I'm back to 4EXT recovery...phew, was getting worried. Gonna super wipe and install a new ROM.

Sounds like international rom? You on one XL or one x.
Place phone into fastboot and Try running a stock ruu. Should get you to stock.

You don't put the RUU on the phone's memory. You download it (must use windows) plug the phone in and run it...make sure you relock the bootloader first.
And you DID flash an international ROM....we don't have a leedroid ROM for our phone...everybody really ought to research hard before doing ANYTHING to their phones.

Like mikelebz mentioned above, you best run the RUU of your PC and get back to STOCK, then redo all the mods you want to add.
There no better solution, that is that simple!

We've been trying to help you....if you can't get into recovery, those are useless

If you have cwm installed, there is an option to mount sdcard.
Once it's mounted you should be able to transfer your files.
If you had the ability to load the rom you should have the ability to get back into cwm recovery.
I got stuck in a boot loop myself and did this to get myself out. But I also save at least 1 working backup on my sdcard.

Like others have pointed out you tried to flash a International ROM for the Nvidia based chipset ONE X. That's why your stuck.
Now if you can get into the bootloader by holding down the vol down button and the power button from the phone being turned OFF here is what you do.
Step 1 Plug phone into your PC while turned off
Step 2 Boot into bootloader
Step 3 Select Fastboot
Step 4 Go to your ADB folder
Step 5 hold shift down and right click in the ADB folder and select open command window here (only works in windows 7)
Step 6 type fastboot oem lock in the command window.
Your phone is now relocked and will automatically reboot but will still lock up at the htc screen because your still using the wrong ROM. SO now force your phone off again and reload back into the bootloader select fastboot then run the RUU from your PC. This will restore your phone.
From this point you can re unlock your bootloader then fastboot flash a recovery I recommend TWRP as its guaranteed to have working sdcard mount. Then you can flash custom ROMs again but please this time pay attention to your phones model Stay away from the One X forum and only go to the AT&T ONE X forum and please please READ before blindly jumping in and flashing.

I got my problem solved guys.....I was having CWM-TOUCH-5.8.3.1 which was not able to mount my ph as USB storage ( its a bug in CWM )......I flashed the phone with TWRP recovery ROM and was able to mount my phone as USB storage and copied the ROM backup folder and restored my stock ROM.........

when I reject and incomming call I get two icons saying REMINDME and SEND TEXT.......How do I disable this option.....like reject the call and dont get this reminder and send text icons.

To answer your question. Yes there is a custom recovery that allows you to mount your storage as a USB Mass Storage device.
Its here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8.1-evita.img.
If you don't already have ADB and all the Android software utilities download and install them here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Only install "Tools" which includes the SDK Tools and SDK Platform Tools. They're located in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, also by the way put the .img you downloaded into that folder as well.
Now go to Run... and type in CMD to get into command prompt. then type in
"cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
or "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" for 64 bit
then
Go into your phones bootloader (I assume you know how to do this since you can get into CWM and then go into the fastboot. Then connect it to your PC. If you've done this correctly it should have a red status of "FASTBOOT USB" if it didn't work make sure you have the right HTC Drivers installed for your phone.
Here: http://binary100100.googlecode.com/files/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
After you have your phone in FASTBOOT USB mode then go back to command prompt and type in this command
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8.1-evita.img
It should then push the recovery img to the phone and over-write CWM.
If it said it couldn't read or find the img make sure you have it in the same folder as ADB and fastboot etc.
Let me know if it works.

when I reject and incomming call I get two icons saying REMINDME and SEND TEXT.......How do I disable this option.....like reject the call and dont get this reminder and send text icons.

That's 2 big mistakes that could have been easily avoided with the proper research. CWM Touch is not meant for our device, and has some major issues with our phone, as you found out the hard way. Two things that were never meant to be flashed to our device (CWM TOuch and LeeDroid). You're lucky you don't have a hard brick.
You need to slow down on the flashing of things without proper research. Take a breath, and do some reading before you do some irreparable damage. Specifically, only flash things in the Development forum for the AT&T version of the phone.
