[Q] CWM isn't working - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I've recently unlocked bootloader, rooted my one x, but i CWM does not work. I've tried to reflash different recoveries many times via fastboot, and everytime i got the message that image was flashed succesfully, but once i reboot and select recovery, my phone freezes everytime on HTC logo time. What else can be done to install and run recovery sucesfully ? thanks in advance

You can download the app goo manager and from there hit menu and then flash recover via the app. Then reboot into recover

Have you tried using the 1-click solutions in the dev forum?
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671873
Or alternatively, you can download GooManager Beta (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zMHVwLmdvb21hbmFnZXIiXQ..) from the Play Store and use it to install TWRP

This is just me being cautious, but are you on the AT&T/Rogers/Telstra One X? I know quite a few international One X users stumbled onto this forum thinking it was theirs.

Ah, you belong over here then: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1533
This explains why the recoveries weren't working. Our devices can actually be considered completely different even though they share the same name. Just for reference, your device is called the Endeavor while ours is the Evita
Edit: Here's the sticky in their dev forum that has links to recoveries and such http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603905

thank you, I thought its the same device

[Q] Trouble flashing CWM

I would not post unless i was absolutely stuck so here goes:
I have the AT&T One X and managed to unlock the bootloader with no problem. I want to flash CWM, root, and ultimately install the latest cyanmod.
Im stuck trying to get a functional recovery mod working. I have tried a few different methods of flashing the recovery and a few different versions as well, mostly newer ones ie recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru and 5.8.4.0. I tried the automatic flash and i have done the commands myself. In the end my phone will not boot recovery, i just get the HTC screen that says something about development purposes only.
I could really use some help as i believe i just bricked my phone as well.
Thank you much
Endeavour is the tegra version of the One X and that's the cwm version you flashed. I have no idea what the consequences of doing that are but you may have bricked your phone. I also suggest using TWRP instead of CWM if you do get your phone working again.

The fact that you are seeing the HTC screen is promising. You definitely want to be using TWRP instead of CWM if you have the North American HTC One XL (ie. "evita", NOT "endeavor" ). I think you need to download an evita version of TWRP, boot into the bootloader (by holding volume down during boot) and then flash it using fastboot.

As he said your lucky u Can still get the white screen with a phone as fragile with flashing as this I would of done a bibit more research if I were you...but ultimately your going to hhave to use fastboot commands to get your thing back running I believe go check out many of ththe million " I bricked my phone by flashing a tegra thing " you'll see many trust me best of luck to you and once u get everything settled out don't flash cwm. Its unofficial and bad go with twrp. Great recovery but do your research with a device like this
I managed to unbrick my phone by reinstalling the stock RUU but im still stuck trying to instal CWM. What is the correct version i should be using with my AT&T One x?

Do not use CWM. Install TWRP by downloading GooManager from the market, opening it, hitting menu and choosing "install openrecovery". That will install TWRP for you.

[Q] Rooting on a Mac

Hey,
I just did the 2.20 root method posted about a week ago, and I got to the white screen without a problem. I did the htc-dev stuff, and that worked too. I pressed Yes and unlocked my bootloader (or so I thought). I flashed TWRP recovery. However, I couldn't do anything else. My phone runs normally, but I checked and it is not rooted. I realize that the new 2.20 method is a temporary root, and I checked in its thread, and was pointed to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426. That isn't for Mac, and I wasn't able to find any way to root a 2.20 HOX, install SU, install a ROM, etc.
I installed a rom and all that on my old phone, a Motorola Atrix, without too many problems, so I'm not completely illiterate. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

no, because i don't know how to do it. should i flash it using fastboot (while the phone is in white screen)? if so, what file do I flash? I got a SU zip, but I'm not sure what to do with it. But I can confirm that I've installed twrp correctly, because I can go to twrp from the white screen by using the volume up/volume down buttons and the power button and going to Recovery.

reboot in recovery/twrp. install your su.zip (don't know where you got your su.zip and what it contains whether it has both the su binaries and Superuser apk ). Reboot. if you don't have Superuser apk download it from the market (chainfire version). Voila.

Okay, a couple more questions. Where should I get the su zip? I googled it and found a directory of a bunch of different versions of SU, but it hadnt been updated since like July. Also, what command do I use to install the su.zip?
./fastboot.OSX flash recovery su.zip doesn't work. I'm just now realizing that I should download it to phone memory and install in recovery from there.

1. you told me you had an su.zip !! anyway: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
2. I said reboot in twrp/recovery (do not flash su.zip in fastboot) and hit the install menu, select the su.zip and swipe to flash
3. go back to main menu and hit reboot and then system
4. download SuperSu.apk from chainfire in the Market
5. open it, it'll probably ask you if you want to update the binaries, go ahead and do so.
You should be good to go.

Yeah, I had it, but I wasn't sure if I had the right one. I did and its all straight now. I was able to install su via twrp and everything worked. I now have root access. One last question (and I realize I've asked a lot of you guys, and I do really appreciate all your help), do I need to take any special steps or precautions when installing custom roms? On my atrix I just saved them to memory and then installed via cwm

Fail to flash ROM, now bootloop

I have HTC One X. unlocked bootloader, rooted. Stock version 2.20. Tried to flash CM10 nightly build 01042013 through TWRP. First copied the roms into internal storage. Then used fastboot flash boot boot.img, then entered TWRP to wipe everything, factory reset, then try to flash rom, says error and failed. Tried several times, didn't work. I tried to reboot, the phone enters endless bootloop. Tried to use power+vol to enter fastboot again. Select recovery, phone bootloop, never enters recovery. Then I tried to flash CWM touch to phone. Still cannot enter recovery.
What's worse is that when the phone is on, it cannot charge. When usb is not connected, I can turn the phone off by keep holding power. But once the usb is connected the phone will turn on by itself, and the charging stops -- this way the remaining battery is kept being drained.
Please help! Thanks!!!
Try installing TWRP again via adb.
There is no CWM Touch for our version of the One X (only the non-touch version of CWM, and its not recommended). So you may have flashed a recovery for the wrong device. It doesn't sound like that was the initial cause of your woes, but it may have made the issue worse.
You can also try to relock the bootloader, RUU and start over again (re-unlock, install TWRP and flash).
You sure you downloaded CM10 for our (Snapdragon S4) version, and not the Tegra3 version of the One X? There is no reason that flashing a ROM would mess with recovery, unless you flashed the wrong version.

I downloaded the ROM through this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696
which brought me to the download site:
http://get.cm/?device=endeavoru
I guess my battery is well below 30% now. I saw people said if I relock it with such low battery, I may end up not able to do anything after. Will that happen? I'll try to flash TWRP first. Thanks
Also, I cannot do adb at this time since I cannot enter system and if I use adb command in cmd on my PC, it says cannot find device.

Well if it says AT&T on the top of the phone it's most definitely a dual-core version, instead of the quad-core. But you downloaded a CM-endeavoru ROM which is the international. We here have the device codenamed "evita". It sounds to me that you've bricked your phone, unfortunately. However if it's still booting to the white HTC Screen there might be some hope.
I don't have the link handy, but if you wanna find the unbricking thread, it may help if you have knowledge of Linux

I can still enter fastboot and can flash things into it using cmd from PC usb connection. It's just nothing worked: not able to boot pass htc white screen, keeps rebooting, turns on when usb connected, not able to charge, cannot enter recovery. Tried to re-flash TWRP, didn't work, still cannot enter recovery.
If you can get to fastboot, you're not bricked. Be sure you're pushing the right (Evita) version of TWRP; so far you've loaded your phone up with endeavour stuff.
Does adb devices show your phone? What are you seeing in Device Manager when it's plugged in? Are you sure you have all the HTC drivers installed? You might try switching USB ports and using a different cable.

What??? Incorrect, and how can an AT&T user be saying this? The dual core S4 version is called the One X in US (AT&T) and Canada (Rogers), and called the One XL elsewhere.
Outside Canada and US, its true that One X refers to the quad core Tegra3 version. But the term "international" is a bit obsolete at this point, now that the S4 version has been released in some 6 or 7 countries.
The OP said he was on stock 2.20 firmware, which is AT&T. So I knew he had the AT&T version from the start.
To the OP, stick with ROMs and mods from this forum section to avoid the same mistake in the future: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538

I know in the past, at least one nightly build of CM10 had a faulty kernel that caused the phone to be stuck on the boot splash. Flashing an older kernel made the ROM boot right up. Maybe that is the case with the one you tried. Or maybe just a bad download.

I had the same issue today, was trying to flash jellybam. I fastboot flash boot boot.img then entered TWRP and wiped then flashed the ROM and when I tried booting up I was in a boot loop.

Glad to hear you got it working. Too many damn bricks around these parts for my taste.

Really really need help.

So I bought a HTC One Mini recently (maybe a month back or so). I loved it, and I decided to root it, (I'm S-ON btw) but I didn't know what custom ROMs were. So I decided to try getting one,(the onedroid one) and failed many times because it said failed. I had TWRP, so when I tried to flash the zip, and when it failed, it said clear cache/davlik or whatever, and I clicked it. Ever since, I've been stuck in a boot loop, and whenever I tried to press recovery, or factory reset, it would say Entering Recovery... at the top, and then the teamwin logo part would flash for a split second and keep flashing for like 3 seconds, and the bootloop would start all over again.
I tried to fastboot erase cache, I even fastboot oem lock 'd, but now it's relocked and whenever I try to enter recovery or factory reset, it just puts me back into the bootloop/bootloader. I really need help on this please.
I've also flashed a new recovery when my bootloader was unlocked, and that didn't work either. Please help, thanks!
alright so update: I fixed that problem, my internal s torage was 0 MB so I formatted my data, and I have storage now as well. I don't know what to do from this point on, I tried factory resetting but theres no OS on the SDCard or anywhere, so... yeah. I'm downloading a stock android 4.2.2/sense 5 (which was what was on my HTC one before **** went down) to see if I can flash it on there and just install it on. Will give feedback when I'm done.
Okay, so now I am completely stuck. I can get into recovery, but I don't know what to do at all now. Help me please.

- Never flash any Rom that's not found in its own device forum. So since your in the mini forum flash only the roms that are available or you'll have a paper weight ( brick ) ... So that's your whole issue with device bootlooping ...

alright so update: I fixed that problem, my internal s torage was 0 MB so I formatted my data, and I have storage now as well. I don't know what to do from this point on, I tried factory resetting but theres no OS on the SDCard or anywhere, so... yeah. I'm downloading a stock android 4.2.2/sense 5 (which was what was on my HTC one before **** went down) to see if I can flash it on there and just install it on. Will give feedback when I'm done.

Again only flash HTC One Mini roms. Not HTC One roms. Your going to nuke your device by not knowing the basics of flashing. So grab a HTC One Mini rom. And if all is still boot looping unlock your bootloader and obtain a stock recovery for this device and flash it then factory reset from bootloader, it will fix corrupt partitions.. Then flash philz latest recovery from our One Mini forums..
Also need to know your hboot version. Is it 2.21 or 2.22??

Like I said download a Rom from our development forums found in the One Mini forums.. but like I said I need your hboot version to decide what rims you may flash.

Would sideloading that (the purestock version) work? My HBOOT is 2.21, S-ON.

Yes, but since your s-on you'll have to flash boot.img manually

Wait so do I just adb sideload it or do I just "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ?

Haha, sorry! Recently got the HTC One Mini so I'm not really used to all this (I just made the switch from iOS to Android a month ago). Anyways, thanks! I'll update if it worked or not.

Haha. That fixed it! Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it. I thought it would never get fixed .

Custom Recovery's won't install

Other than CM Recovery I cannot get anything to install, not even the stock or TWRP. They all install fine and say that it is all flashed fine regardless of how I flash the recovery, but then when booting into recover I get the boot screen for around 5-10 seconds a brief flash of a plain black screen with some text (though sometimes not even this shows up) and then nothing, the phone is still on however as I have to turn it off before turning it back on again, there is just nothing displayed on the screen.
Also my boot image still shows as FreedomOS however since freedom I have had Paranoid and CM installed so not sure (the boot animation is CM but the image shown with the one plus logo has FreedomOS at the bottom)
Any help would be wonderful
Thank you

Wrong forum bro. Search for OnePlus 3 in search bar. You may get some help on freedom os is there.
It seems like you had a Firmware flash. You can try flashing recovery using a "PC with adb".
Secondly Google and download Firmware for one plus 3 . And flash it using recovery.
Again. Try booting into recovery, if you can't , you have lost recovery while flashing Firmware. Flash the recovery again using "PC with adb".
Hope it helps. Thanks.
