Bizarre tri-color screen problem. Can't flash new rom.

I've tried all the different ways of flashing a new rom to my phone however my upload process is always stuck at 0%.
I'm able to boot into my phone's stock ROM after leaving the phone for a few days with the battery disconnected. As soon as I wanna throw in my sim card or try to flash anything to the phone, I get the same problem of unsuccessful flashing.
I've tried flashing via micro sd card, didnt work.
Anybody?

good luck
edit: link

the first two links you've provided are useless.
the second one, i am fully aware of and have studied it and tried it.
what other options are out there other then MTTY and micro sd flashing?
I've tried both without any luck.
Like I said, I cannot flash anything to my phone through regular flashing procedure.

What HardSPL are you running? Hit me up on IM, I could try to help you.

the first is the most important because it states forum rules and you should have posted this question in the proper thread instead of starting a new thread. so you need to go ask this in a flashing thread such as the flashing for newbs.

Ha Ha must have been an early morning l8 night they where meant for me but the principle still stands.
There is a sticky @ the top and threads with relevant info, then post in the relevant thread and not make a new.

It may seem harsh, but this site has almost 1.8 million members, we simply cannot have people starting new threads every time they have got a problem. Especially in the rom development section, which is supposed to be dedicated to the development of new roms, not solving people's phone issues. And especially again, when in the sticky at the top of the page, there is a section dedicated to being stuck in bootloader ( tri-color screen )
It is ironic that the major complaint from new users is that it is too hard to search and find anything on the site. So they instead turn around and start a new thread for their problem, further compounding the problem and cluttering the site with more redundant problems and more redundant posts. And then take open offense when the more senior members who try to curtail this problem by suggesting a little research in lieu of another new thread on an old subject.

I have a similar problem
Hy. My HTC TYTN II is making me hard days. when i restart he blocks in the three colour screen and i have to pray and hope that he will start normaly. And when he finally does it runes as new...till i restart. Could anyone help me. Others said it's a software problem. Ok. what can i do?

Curious, your first post and it is right after two posts by Senior members who pointed out that if you go to the sticky in the Kaiser ROM Development and read the thread about Flashing for Noobs you will find out information that will help you with a problem.
Did you even read the two previous posts?

Spot on but we know that tommorow will be another day

flash custom rom due to Hboot 2.0 S-on

I wanted to write it down many times, but I don't have right time to do this.
The reason why I want to write it down, because I'm a newbie, and I know what a newbie would feel when he/she wants help but no one will help or they can't help.
Because of the stunning performance from few videoes of 4.0, I wanted to flash a 4.0 rom always, but I'm afraid to briket it, and finally I started to log in forums and check someone else how to do it.
I added many people, and only one answered me, and patiently helped me to do this, do that, but failed, though, I still thank him a lot.
My steps are simple, I won't define words, explain them, and I won't write down the exact process, because there are so many posters about it.
1. HTCdev, very important, everything is invisible without this step.
2. after this, you can use ADB to flash superuser and RE, or use a tool called pioneer, which is in Chinese, just need you to press anykey of your keyboard after you unzip it, and click (执行(means execut))boot.bat, and it's done
3. Flash recovery, I flash 4ext touch version, and it's quite good.
download PG881IMG.ZIP, and babababa....
My situation was like that: do not connect computer during flash 4ext, or it won't react.
4. flash rom, and after flash rom, return to bootloader, to flash boot.img(still many poster say this), and connect to computer, flash boot.img
And after that, everything's done.
May it help.

Hello, please don't take this personally...(you're input is appreciated)
If by adding people you mean, adding users as friends and then private messaging them, then I don't find it surprising that you didn't get many answers.
This is an open forum and it's power is that all users are able to put input into finding solutions and assisting each other as a group not as individuals.
Even though PM's have a use in efficient communication within the forum, they are not recommended for new starters with problems, that's what the Q/A section is for.
If you have an issue or a question simply post a new thread describing it, although hopefully use the search function first to see if it has been asked before, as 90% of questions have been!
Although a little reading of the available guides and Google'ing goes a long way!

@Nandylee
You were lost when you started and after a while it made sense to you, your guide will still just confuse people cause they won't understand it. To someone who understands they can see where its going but its flawed, to a noob its no help. Sorry.

[Q] About superoneclick-Please someone respond

Well guys..I am so afraid of bricking my brand new phone so i have been searching for alternatives(rather than using adb push stuff)to root it the last 3-4 days.I have a DS running 2.3.5,software version 2.10.163.5 and hboot 2.00.0002,branded.Can i use Superoneclick to root it and then flash a custom rom or i need to unlock my bootloader by using htcdev(its better to stay stock rather than using that) and then use the Superoneclick?I dont want to blow up my phone so i am asking for your help guys..

You can't be bothered reading, can you? It's so much easier to open 10 threads with questions that are answered 100000 times, than to sit and just read, is it?

First of all relax.You have no [email protected] idea how much reading have i done for this.I have like 23 bookmarks on my browser to try short things out.So give me a break.Most of the guides i found have comments below that say "Not working","Error,HELP" and stuff.All i wanted is a clear answer.YES or NO.I am so [email protected] confuced about the methods so i asked for a clear answer.If you got it i will push the "thanks" button and say i appreciate your help.If not,please do not even bother saying read because i have done MUCH reading.Believe me.

You're reading the wrong sources then.
Read the index thread.
Read the guides.
Read them and try to understand, what each part and each command is doing, and what it's needed for.
You're asking the most basic questions that just about anyone knows the answer to. Try asking Google: "what is S-OFF", "what is the difference between root and S-OFF". Read the answers.
And really, yet again, the same piece of advice: not all phones have to be rooted. Stay stock until you understand enough to mess with your phone. It's better for you, and it's better for your phone. Believe me, having 10 apps you don't use means nothing for your phone.

Jack_R1 is a super help when u need it.
What u need to know is those post are on sticky for a reason, if it is unsafe it would have been remove, and ppl have actually succeeded in unlocking and rooting based on those post. yes there will always be one or 2 error, but it was solve somewhere in those page. I did the instructions in page 1 and found solutions to my errors in between page 40-50 and another solution in another totally different post. Google will be your friend.
Everyone is afraid, who isn't. i flash my phone when it was just 3 months old, and it was my 1st touch screen android phone.
Based on what i read that u should try to avoid HTCdev(bet there is a post somewhere saying why).
Try to read the sticky, find which method is best that u can understand and is most suitable with ur device then go with it, when u encounter and error, try the search button, if u still are not able to find the solution then create a post.
Ppl here are genuinely willing to help when u done all that u could.
There is also a sticky explaining the meaning words if you do not understand any(which honestly i do not understand before flashing).
Take your time, there is no competition/time limit, Find a day when u have nothing to do. Read through, and make sure u follow each step accordingly. i miss one step which force me to pull out my battery, twice. But after the horror ordeal i am now flashing between roms every now and then and enjoying it.
Cheer and try to be polite.

Thanks man.I was waiting for that kind of answer and not like Jack's.Well the only reason i didnt want to follow the guide which in my case is Zergrush is because i am afraid that if i press something wrong the phone will get bricked and dont know how to fix it.Thats why i asked for an alternative.And sorry for not beeing so polite but i I Swear to God i have done so much reading that it only made me be more afraid than i was before.

quote by Jack_R1
[1]You can't be bothered reading, can you? It's so much easier to open 10 threads with questions that are answered 100000 times, than to sit and just read, is it?
-Actually he is right, there is no need to question the guides, it is research and proven by those OP(s) and also ppl like us who have successfully rooted it.
-So you found some ppl posted their issue, I believe most of their issue were solved and they posted about it.
-you can search for your error code in the forum with the search option either by thread or post.
[2]Read them and try to understand, what each part and each command is doing, and what it's needed for.
-He is actually guiding you, each step is a process, once u take ur time to read and understand and break down the process you will find that it isn't so complicated. And if u bum into an issue within any of those step u can simply find the solution(s) in a later post. (i actually wish some one told me that before i started, i have no idea what i was doing when i started)
-With that in note, read whether ur phone is branded, if it needs a goldcard, zergrush or some other, because some process are not necessary while others may be a must.

Rom Question.

Okay,
I'm hoping that I'm posting this in the right place, since I'm new here, but here it goes.
I was wondering how to tell if I am able to use a rom. I know the obvious that it has to be for my phone, but what other important things (such as firmware) should I look at to make sure a rom is right for my phone. If there's a thread on this already, or if this is the wrong section please just point me in the right direction.

If the ROM is made for your phone, then it will work completely. If it was made for a phone in the same family of devices as yours, it may work fully or partially. For example, I have the LG P505. I can use any ROM made for the P505. I can use any ROM made for the P500 (which opens the doors to dozens of choices, from only a handful), but the screen driver is wrong, so the colors are messed up, and once the screen goes black, it doesn't come back (lol). To solve it, I have to flash a kernel made specifically for my phone (P505) after flashing the ROM.
If you have a flashable kernel .zip for your phone, you can use any ROM made for the whole family of devices of which your phone is a part.

Just read the OP of the ROM thread (all of it; more than once). That's where you should find information on compatibility. If its in your device's section, its quite likely it will be compatible. But, you still need to read in case it requires a specific recovery, etc. to be flashed and work correctly.

Thanks for the replies! I've been having problems with boot loops and I was wondering if it was a compatibility issue. where would I get my hands on my phones kernel? I have an HTC sensation currently running sence-o-manic btw

I'm having trouble flashing ViperS. the op doesn't specify any procedures, but I get caught in a boot loop after going through the setup. not sure if I'm missing something or if i may have neglected to run a process that the op is assuming Ive completed. Needless to say, I'm completely lost lol.

If you go to sensation forum instead of posting in general there will be A LOT more people there to help you.
Once you get there, read stickied thread by malybru called something like "great starting point for new sensation users" in Sensation general, and if you still have questions after that, go to Sensation Q&A , find another stickied thread called "Help Thread" and ask there.

Be Careful........

I just wanted to share the big mistake I made because I didn't realize that there were more then one variants of my phone...
My wife bought me a new HTC One X for Christmas at full retail so we didn't have to extend our contract. I activated it December 26th.
I rooted it the same day and unlocked the bootloader the following day with no problems.... I didn't do anything else to it for 3 weeks.
Night before last I followed instructions I found online here: http://theunlockr.com/2012/04/28/how-to-install-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-on-htc-one-x/ to install Clockwork mod.
Everything seemed to install and everything seemed fine until I got to the end where I was to type in the command prompt to reboot. The phone shut down and will not reboot. No charge indicator anymore nothing! Won't even go into bootloader now with the Vol- and power button.
After all this I realized (thanks to members on here) that I had installed the wrong version of clockwork mod... I installed the version for the endeavoru when I appearently have something else.
So it probably is/was a stupid mistake on my part for not researching more....I just wanted to tell the other noobs doing this stuff to just please read read read!!!!
I have rooted and replaced the ROM's on all my previous phones and tablets with no problem but I do not do this everyday....Just when I get a new phone so I guess I got cocky and just assumed this one would be just as easy....
So I now have a 3 week old $599.99 paper weight.....
Please be careful and avoid the same mistake I made....

I find myself saying this over and over again on this forum: Don't Google around to random websites for phone mods.
This is a perfect example why. Those websites are not well organized, and therefore will easily mislead you into installing mods to your phone that are not meant for your version of the One X.
Plus, almost all of these "unlock" or "root" webites just steal content from XDA. Look at the webpage the OP linked. It just gives credit by giving a link that goes right back here to XDA. These random websites don't create their own content, they just steal from XDA, and add a few sentences of text that any moron can type, and call the work theirs.
Stick to XDA. As long as you are in the forum that says "AT&T", any ROMs, mods, etc. you find will be safe for the AT&T version of the One X, and its other dual core S4 variants.
There are a few other reputable websites with Android mods. But unless you know for a fact they are legit, its better to assume they are not, and stick to XDA.
Its really that simple.

I agree however I didn't just "Google" the recovery install instructions. I got to this page from a link in an XDA post I had read. Problem was I was apparently in the wrong HTC ONE X Forum. The instructions listed on the site are correct for the "Other" version of the phone.
It's an easy mistake to make with the way this site delivers a search. Example: Go up to the top of the page where it has a search box and says "Find your device"
Type in HTC ONE X. Look at which model the search returns. The International model, Not our AT&T version. Granted I should of read a little more closely, I didn't. The picture was my phone so I scrolled down and began reading threads.
If there are more then one variant of the same phone then both should appear when you search for a device so we can pick the correct version. I was unaware there were different versions of the HTC One X until today....
so it is what it is, I can't go back and do it all over and It's been a very expensive lesson learned so my post was to encourage other noobs to read read read so this doesn't happen to somebody else.
I'll eventually go buy another One X and might even go extend my contract and get one sooner.....either way, next time I'll know.
(Going back to my shattered screen Inspire has not been a pleasant experience, makes me really miss the One X)
Take care.

Man that sucks soooooo bad... Which rom did you pick? It sucks you used cwm.. If you would have used twrp there's a 94% chance it would have just failed instead of flashing.... Sorry for your luck bro.

i think he bricked by flashing wrong cwm, not rom.

Honestly, how ridiculous is it that AT&T called the One XL variant the One X. Poor name choice has lead to problems like OP experienced.

The problem isn't with cwm... You can run cwm all day everyday. Problem is its not supported, people been getting their sdcard wiped and what not. The problem with running cwm is that it doesn't restrict what's being flashed IF its not supported. He would have flashed an international rom, and cwm let it happen.
The international Devs worked in their ROMs to fail in twrp for our device..

Hmm I wonder if the jet tool could help unbrick it, or is after flashing a wring recovery it to late? I don't have experience unbricking phones, just throwing out there.

I find it odd that an XDA post links to the page you posted, since that page just links back to XDA, and doesn't seem to contain any unique or original content. That's why it seemed that you had "Googled" for that webpage, which seems to be what too many people are doing. My apologies since this is not the case, so maybe I should make my font smaller in the post above! ;-P

Yes, its still easy to confuse the variants on XDA, but at least XDA has the forums split apart at all, and makes the distinction between the dual and quad core versions (not the case on most other fly-by-night "root" or "unlock" websites).
Its too late for your current phone. But if you replace it with another AT&T One X, in the future just stick to this forum section and you will be safe from flashing the wrong mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Use the button "SEARCH THIS FORUM" button instead of the one at the top of the webpage, and you will always stay within the forum for the AT&T version.
And as I mentioned in my previous post, make sure the webpage you are looking at makes mention of "AT&T, Rogers etc." at the top of the page, and you are sure to be in the correct forum section.
You can also take a look at my Index thread, which has most any resource you will ever need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Everything listed on this Index is specific to the dual core AT&T version and its variants.

If there are more then one variant of the same phone then both should appear when you search for a device so we can pick the correct version. I was unaware there were different versions of the HTC One X until today....

I've had 5 different smartphones/tablets going back to old Windows Mobile days, and every one of them has had multiple variants, some even having CDMA and GSM variants in the same forum section (but with seperate subforums). In the past you often had to be very careful and verify that you weren't flashing a ROm for the wrong variant (such as flashing a CDMA ROM on a GSM phone). The way XDA is organized for the variants of the One X is actually less confusing than many other devices.
Its good to keep in mind on any smartphone device to research as much as possible, and make sure you are doing mods specific to your version, before doing anything.

The problem isn't with cwm... You can run cwm all day everyday.

Actually, if you flash CWM Touch Recovery from inside ROM Manager, you can get a brick. The version in ROM Manager is for endeavour, and it bricks largely for the same reason the endeavour roms do.

To help everyone (Put this in your OP) if you want
Just type : fastboot getvar all
into the Command Prompt before you DO ANYTHING!
This will tell you all your information you need to know about your phone. For ex if its Evita or endevou

Man that sucks soooooo bad... Which rom did you pick? It sucks you used cwm.. If you would have used twrp there's a 94% chance it would have just failed instead of flashing.... Sorry for your luck bro.

This is true. I hadn't made it to installing a rom yet.

Honestly, how ridiculous is it that AT&T called the One XL variant the One X. Poor name choice has lead to problems like OP experienced.

I find it odd that an XDA post links to the page you posted, since that page just links back to XDA, and doesn't seem to contain any unique or original content. That's why it seemed that you had "Googled" for that webpage, which seems to be what too many people are doing. My apologies since this is not the case, so maybe I should make my font smaller in the post above! ;-P

Thanks....I too have done something, root, unlock bootloaders, install roms, etc over and over going back to win mobile as well and I've never been this careless before. I was in a hurry to get all the AT&T bloatware off it and make it more user friendly so I let my guard down and now have to live with my actions.

THANK YOU!

I will let everyone know that when I got home from work today I found a box at my front door. I opened it up and found a replacement HTC One X. I call and spoke with AT&T questioning why and they said that they went ahead and did a warranty defect on the original phone due to it only being 3 weeks old. So I am excited to say I have a new one in my hand at this time.
Now I just need to start from scratch and figure this out without doing this again. If anyone wants to help walk me through it step by step, I will be forever grateful

Your new ATT one x probably came with 2.20 software and a new Hboot. I would start reading here:
TOOL KIT NOOB PROOF
Nice all in one tool kit!

Yes, 2.20...Old one was 1.85
That is what I have, that I used on the first phone.
Thank you

Im having issues with HTCdev.com loading.....keeps timing out. I'm not sure what is up with that.
Gonna try it again tomorrow. Seems like the server is either down or swamped right now.
I did the perm root command in the tool kit which pushed SU to the phone and it says to boot in recovery and run it. I can't seem to get the command line correct to unzip and install SU now. Can somebody post the correct command line to unzip and install SU.
Thanks

The HTCDev.com website is having some serious issues the last few days. Several different users have posted on various posts about the website not working. One user contacted HTC, and they said they are working on getting it back up and running.
You need to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP (custom recovery) before you can flash SU. Once you do those things, just go into recovery, select the install option, and select the SU zip. Its a flashable zip, not something you are supposed to unzip.

Yeah I keep submitting my token ID and I get the page that says it was successfully submitted and that I will receive an email with the unlock file attachment but I never get the email... I've submitted it like 4 times now...
I can't do anything else without that file attachment it says I need. I thought I may be able to use the Unlock_code.bin file from my previous phone that died but it says that they are specific to the token ID generated so I guess that is out.
Gonna have to wait until their site is fully functioning before I can proceed.
