Before you fix your recovery you will need HTC Sync Software http://www.htc.com/www/help/htc-one-x/#download
And ADB installed from the SDK here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Once you load the SDK Manager download the Android SDK platform tools. Then download the proper recovery Image that has official support for the AT&T One X from here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/99
Go to the folder you installed the SDK tools to If your on Windows 7 x64 and installed it using the default paths it will be located here C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools when at that folder move the recovery image file in to that folder then hold shift and right click in the folder select open command window here.
Now get your phone back into the bootloader select fastboot and connect it to your pc when your phones bootloader says fastboot usb its connected and ready to fix.
type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8.1-evita.img
that will update your recovery to TWRP which is much better than CWM. From there you can select reboot into recovery from the bootloader TWRP will load up you can Wipe /system /cache then mount your phone to your PC and upload any ROM you want. I recommend AOKP or CleanROM and flash away.
People really need to start searching before they post this is somewhere around the 20th post I've seen like this in the last couple days. All want help unbricking and people have posted guides on how to unbrick. Also there are many posts about how CWM for the HOX is highly unstable.

I was able to update via ROM Manager successfully though (it will take quite awhile to switch from Google logo to boot animation on your first reboot).
i allready tryed that terminal thing .. last time it worked (3.0.0.5 to 3.0.2.4) but this time .. no chance ..
the update with rom manager dindnt work on my Nexus S anyways .. i dont know why ..
i tryed that with different roms ..
i had such a problem on my Desire like a year ago and than i had to delete a file .. i cant remember but is it possible that i have to delete the file here too?
thx

ok .. in this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039584&page=5
i found this:
"anyone having issues with recovery flashing open rom manager and press menu and go to settings. now check erase recovery. this will wipe the recovery partition prior to flashing. this makes the recovery img flash correctly 99% of the time. if not on the main page in rom manager press menu and clear your download cache. this will remove all the files and folders inside /sdcard/clockworkmod/ so you will los e any roms downloaded. then click to flash the recovery again. it will redownload the recovery and reflash. you should still keep the erase option in settings checked. if it still does not flash correctly try flashign twice in a row. if that doesnt work fastboot erase recovery . and fastboot flash recovery \path\to\recovery\here.img"
delete recovery BEFOR flashing a new is working here ...
Flash_image gui by Joeykrim will work great for you
I did an update to v5 and couldn't boot into recovery too, but that was because i did it by the usual hardware buttons Power + VolumeUp.
Then by accident, i was able to boot into recovery, and that is by the "Reboot into Recovery" menu in ROM Manager itself.
Have you tried this method of rebooting yet?
the new cwm flashed fine for me no issues.
I can no longer reboot into recovery after updating to CWM5.01. Tried using rom manager and terminal emulator with no luck. Also tried reverting back to my old recovery and still nothing. The above steps posted didn't work either. Someone please help. I can't restore any backups because I can't boot into recovery.
Edit: Working and fixed by pushing it through adb
Good day everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am in desperate need of your help. I recently purchased a HTC One S from an online store they told me it was new never used locked phone. Turns out phone was rooted, 4g does not work, and it could not recognize e drive, (internal sd card)
After reading the all in one i re-rooted it and install the teamwin version of recovery.
Now i never had any back ups or any factory files. as i got the phone rooted with software that did not work. My phone now has no rom and i cannot install from adb sideloader, or an other means. I am new to this and cannot seem to figure out how to get my phone back to even stock un-rooted etc. I tried multiple forums and download links but nothing.
i was able to install vipers rom at one point but despite several attempts to reinstall. recovery does not see files loaded. which i can see on my mac or pc.
the other strange thing i notice is that at the top in fastboot mode i sometimes see unlocked in pink only and other times i see both unlocked and tampered. when its unlock only none of my computers recognize connection.
I also tried boot.img for flash. The furthest my screen no goes is the htc logo, then goes black.
Please help, even to just point me in rite direction to have this resolved.
the boot.img, did you flash it via fastboot? (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
And, one question that comes to mind... they sold you a device as new, yet it wasnt.. Why didnt you return it?

Yes I tried several times loading the boot.img via fastboot.
As far as returning the device i trashed the mailing box but kept original packaging so no return address. I called the company which i made the purchase from "N1wireless" several times and sent several emails to them. They have yet to reply or answer any of my calls. Which is why I am so frustrated.

Boot into recovery, select mount > mount usb storage. From pc move the Rom.zip to your sd card which should now be showing on your pc. After it is moved to your phone select unmount then press home button in twrp recovery. Then install the Rom. After install open up adb and type adb reboot bootloader then press enter. Now fastboot flash the boot img from inside the Rom.zip on your computer. After that reboot your phone and report back

Hi, thanks for the reply, thats just the thing I cannot in recovery install any rom loaded to sd card. It fails. I tried reinstalling the recovery and it still not reading my sd card.
So my guess is i need a new twrc or how to do it from my mac, as now when i try on my pc it is failing as-well. Once I get the recovery to work I will try your other suggestions as I think it will work based on the steps you mentioned.
I am trying to figure out how to use terminal to reinstall recovery. any suggestions or links will be greatly appreciated.:good:
you install recoveries through fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I reinstalled recovery several times now and it wont recognize the sd card. is there another recovery i can download and use? Also is there any instructions for a newby to use terminal to re-boot, everything from scratch. Meaning if the phone is completely blank except the fast boot and a recovery manager no backups or stock kernel etc. what is the format to be used in order for the computer and recovery to recognize the sd card?
I think I need a good recovery rom like cmod if there is one for the htc one s or the stock one if someone has it.
hi i had that problem

I had that problem the sd card would not be seen by my laptop and the phone would not boot at all if you plug in the phone to your go to start and then computer right click on your c drive go to manage and see if you can see it there if so try to format it and then reboot the phone if it works you can then install cwm as a recovery system then you can put what rom you wont on it i am use in zenRom 1.05 and to me its the best coz it like the htc rom that the phone come with if that don`t work let me know coz i have more tricks to try i hope this helps you out.
Theres only TWRP and CWM for the S afaik, and CWM sucks. TWRP is the one to use.
I had a similar problem a few days ago, luckily there's not such a bad solution.
1) Pick a custom ROM you want to install from the HTC One S developer forums (I went with Trickdroid) and download the ROM/boot image.
2) Then download and flash the stock recovery here: http://www.4shared.com/file/1UuxTh0k/stock_recovery.html
3) Boot into bootloader, clear storage and then reset to factory defaults.
4) Flash TWRP
5) Reboot into recovery, sdcard should now be mounted/visible
Then push the ROM to your sdcard with adb or mount USB storage and flash it/flash the boot image and you should be sorted.

got it. will try it asap.
I could not get the stock recovery via that link you provided. If there is another link to the stock I would appreciate it. I had to flash it wit cwm twice then reflash with twrc to get it to identify the sd card. i had tried the viper rom but my 4g and wifi doesnt work. Will try trickmod hopefully that works with no more issues

Hey thanks allot for your suggestions. I made some progress. It kinda worked. However I my wifi and data connections no good. I tried the 9.1 update and then tried the tweaks.
Do you know if it is possible to get stock kernel and stock rome to undo changes on device?
I´am dificults in install this rom --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105863
Please help me , i´m afraid do anything wrong.
Its not difficult to do its as simple as:
Download rom and boot img script
Place Rom on phone storage
Boot into recovery
Back-up current in case something goes wrong
Factory reset in recovery
Then wipe system
Then wipe caches
Find the Rom on sdcard
Flash it install without wipe ( install with wipe will give you problems)
Reboot into bootloader put phone into fastboot mode, by now you should have phone connected to pc and it should display fastboot mode on bootloader screen
Run boot img flash script from your pc (don't place boot img script on the phone, it flashes the boot img for you from computer by running commands) then reboot back into recovery and wipe caches once more then reboot and enjoy... that's it.
Not hard just follow instructions and you should be good to go and if you run into any problems just let us know and we'll help you fix it

Yes you can use Hasoon's AIO kit to flash the boot img, The flash script does the same thing using cmd prompt windows
once you start to flash the rom in your recovery Aroma installer (built in) will start and guide you through the whole process
Good luck

have you flashed the boot img?
Don't use the new TWRP but use 2.3.3.3 or other "stable" releases to flash!
By chance do you have a s3 variant if so then there may be the problem, if not then try an older stable release of a recovery to flash it

When you double click that script, you have to be on your bootloader screen in fastboot USB mode.

Evita download isn't even on that page -_- Are you using an evita htc one xl? If not, wrong forum. If so:
download a rom from this Forum section, if you like AOSP, there's a bunch to choose from in Original android development.
download twrp 2.3.3.1 do not use any version above 2.3.3.1
Check MD5 of your downloads, make sure it matches.
Reboot to bootloadrer
fastboot flash recovery twrp2.3.3.1filename.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Select recovery from bootloader
Mount USB storage
Copy your rom over.
wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset
Flash your rom zip file
If you are S-OFF or your hboot < 1.14 reboot you're done.
If your hboot >= 1.14 and S-ON extract the boot.img from the rom you downloaded
reboot to bootloader/fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img (the one you just extracted from the rom)
I wasn't going to help you at first because this EXACT post is created at least once a day and is easily fixed by reading and understanding what you're doing. Hopefully this is a wakeup call that you should not be rooting your phone without knowing at least the basics.
Hello,
1st.: while starting this new thread, I looked through the automaticly generated similar threads and found non that was suiting my problem.
Last night I unlocked the bootloader of my wifes Xperia L (C2105) and got stuck into an boot loop. After this I had the need to flash an original rom (4.1.2). This results in an total wipe of the phone :crying:
Now the phone has an unlocked bootloader and an old Android Version. I want to install the pacman rom 4.4.4. I know i have to use cwm or twrp to do this, but do I need to root the device?
I'm a little bit confused. I thought installing the *.img-File from TWRP, with the folloing command, will get me the recovery option an with this option
Code:
c:\fastboot\Fastboot.exe flash boot C:\fastboot\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-taoshan.img
Can anyone help me out?
My wife is not upset, but with the boot loop from last night in my mind, I'm quit unsure what to do next.
many thanks in advanced
Felix
you need to root the device and use flashtool by androxyde(Easier and user friendly), first download the rom and put it in internal/external memory and then install thunderzap 4.12 by select bootkk.img and install it in fastboot mode in flashtool, now enter the recovery go into wipe and format options and choose clean to install a new ROM and then flash the pac rom and reboot
Root isn't necessary.
Download PAC ROM, Take boot.img inside the zip.
Flash boot.img via fastboot.
Boot into recovery, wipe data / factory reset.
Flash ROM and GApps.
That's it
NOP, you dont need to root to install a custom rom

you can download the rom, extract it and keep, boot.img file, in fastboot folder, and also keep the downloaded rom zip file in sd card for later use.
than you can use use fastboot commands to flash those boot.img which will install the recovery into your phone, than .
use reboot command in fastboot, it will reboot your phone, take out your cable, using volume up key go to recovery,
there clear all the cache and delvik cache file, then, install your custom rom by selecting from your sd card, it will take a bit of time for first time, so don't worry,
than you are done,
