What do you mean transfer big files when in recovery mode? You can only transfer files when the phone is operating normally. Are you s off?
im pretty sure i am cause i used Revolutionary to root it
Since you can access recovery:
1. Download a rom suitable for the firmware you flashed.
2. Download super wipe script from ARHD thread.
3. Place both on a freshly formatted SD card using a PC
4. Insert SD to phone and install super wipe followed by rom.

Take out sd card and use a card reader to load a rom. Which firmware did you flash? Through bootloader? If you flashed the ics firmware bundle, which one?

Since problem happened after you tried to s-off and you can't flash rom by recovery, i'm pretty sure that your phone is still s-on. You can try the method as following
1. Reboot into the bootloader and check whether phone is s-on. If it's not, or rather, it's s-off, congratulation to you because it's very easy now. You just need to install a third party recovery( i never try to flash a rom by stock recovery, but i recommend to use third party recovery to flash roms) and flash any rom you want except those which need firmware. If it's still s-on, what you need to do is login htcdev and unlock the bootloader
2.Download a rom which doesn't need firmware( Because i don't know how to cope with ICS stuff and i just know something about gingerbread rom. if you want to try ICS, then ignore my reply). Download a third party recovery. Extract the boot.img inside the rom to adb folder, and so do recovery.img.
3.Connect the phone to the computer, open command line and cd into adb folder, and go to fastboot mode. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to install third party recovery. Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to flash boot.img
4.Reboot into recovery mode. Double wipe the phone, or you can try superwipe provided by mike1986. Then install the rom you download. After installation, reboot the phone. Now your phone should be ok.
PS: adb command usually works when your phone has booted into system. Although type adb command in recovery mode and get some response from the phone, actually it doesn't make any sense.
All in all, all you need to do is :unlock the bootloader by htcdev, flash recovery and boot, wipe and flash the rom, then ok

That's great! Keep the ruu you used safe in case of more problems. Now, run revo again, install su & recovery and you are done.
But backup stock in recovery before anything

Hi Everyone,
So i followed all the steps to temp root 2.20 including successfully installing TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project). I then downloaded the CM10 rom and extracted the boot.img as per posts and rebooted into the bootloader and flashed the boot.img from CM10 via Fastboot. However after doing then rebooting to Recovery mode in order to flash the ROM, i get stuck in the red text where it gives you a warning about it being in development mode or something.
I am able to successfully boot into the bootloader via Power+down volume. Additionally I am able to boot into the TWRP recovery just fine, however I am lost and have no clue how to restore my phone to either the CM10 ROM or most importantly at least to stock working condition.
When i got to mount the SDCARD via twrp normally i would get a pop up on my screen and allow me to access my SD card, now i get a pop up just telling me that i need to format my SD card first. I'm afraid some how my SD card got wiped or something.
Can someone please walk me through the steps on how to restore my phone. Please if possible i would appreciate using LAME terms as i do not have any experience as you can tell i screwed up :/ Can you please listed step by step instructions including commands for Fastboot/adb etc etc if needed. Thank you very much for your help and support.
I've typed and retyped a response to help. I'm so tired and my brain is mush. (More so than normal) if you can't find any resolution by morning? Pm me and I'll try and help. Something about pluggin the USB in The back of your pc something something....... snore

I know you tried to help, but it appears now I have bricked the phone. Hopefully i can fix it as i still have access to Bootloader and TWRP recovery. I'll PM you in the morning, thank you.
dont factory reset in bootloader. only factory reset in twrp. sometimes evita has a hard time getting into recovery from bootloader. just keep trying to get into recovery from bootloader. also even if your phone doesn't boot all the way adb sometimes still works. so try "adb reboot recovery" while its trying to boot.
if you did corrupt your sdcard try this method to get it fixed without having to run ruu.
[How to] Fix corrupt/unmountable internal storage on the HTC One X/XL
when you get your sdcard fixed remember to wipe everything and then copy cm10 and gapps to your sdcard and flash. since boot.img is already flashed you shouldn't need to do it again.
you did flash boot.img as "fastboot flash boot boot.img"? i made the mistake of flashing boot.img to recovery instead of boot. i was freaking out. just to make sure flash recovery again "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img"

Yes i did fastboot flash boot boot.img from within the Bootlader. FYI that boot.img was from inside the CM10 zip file. I belive my SD card is corrupt i will check out that link. FYI I am able to get into Recovery mode form the Boatloader if i chooser recovery. However since the SD card seems messed up i can't access it currently. Also I tried to use the method to install the CM10.zip file using TWRP recovery. That recovery has a GUI and you can click on the INSTALL button and choose the zip file you want to install, however it errors out.
What is the proper way to flash a rom when i am in the TWRP recovery? Can you provide me with the commands/steps? Thanks for all your support guys.

install/install from zip/browse to your zip/slide to flash (they really should patent that)
now most of us, to do a clean flash, we'd go into the "wipe" menu in TWRP before flashing , factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system. then we flash our rom.
hope that cleared it up!

You won't be able to flash anything until you fixed your sdcard using the method in that link.
Ptesmoke where have you been? DvineLord is the only one been helping here. The Q&A thread is a mess. where is edditsync chongo, rohan and the other superhero's. I feel like Hawkeye trying to shoot sh#@ down with a bow and arrow. Waiting for ironman, hulk, Thor and the other avengers to get real sh#@ done. I'm tired going to sleep now.

I tried to fixed corrupted SD card as per video. however after flashing the recovery.img via fastboot when it wants me to do a factory reset instead of doing the factory reset it just goes back to the HTC brilliant screen with the red warning text and sits there. If i go to twpr recovery and click on install i can't access me zip currently due to sd card issues.
Is there a way to format via PC since it lets me as long as I am in twpr and just put stock files/folders onto the SD card? Or is it possible to install the 2.20 ruu again? I re-downloaded it form HTC's site while I am in twrp however I cannot install it won't detect my phone. Thanks for your help.
"fastboot oem lock" then run ruu. ruu gets run in fastboot.
after the ruu, reunlock bootloader and flash twrp, copy cm10 and gapps to your sdcard, flash boot.img in fastboot, wipe everything except for external storage in twrp, flash cm10 and gapps in twrp, then reboot.
If you can get into twrp and go to mount, mount usb storage and connect your phone windows should prompt you to format the SD card.
Once that's done you can drag and drop the rom you want to flash then boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img.
If you want to run the ruu you need to relock the bootloader first.
To do that you must go into fastboot usb and then type fastboot oem lock.

I'm sorry i'm not too tech savy. Can you clarify how to Fastboot OEM lock. Assuming i just need to be in fastboot mode and run a command in command prompt?
Also once that is done how can i run RUU via fastboot? Right now i have HTC RUU for 2.20 from august that i downloaded from their site and not sure how i can have it detect my phone. If you could clarify and explain those steps in Lame terms i would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.

That's the command you do and the ruu is an exe file so get into fastnoot on your phone from bl and run the ruu after you've locked the bootloader
Thank you both will try that now.
Hey guys thanks for all your help and your support it worked. I had the wrong CM10 file instead of Evita i had the other one :/ That was the issue all along ugh... but all resolved could of not have done it without your support. Thanks!! I can now finally go to bed.. been at it since 10pm, now 3:11am
Maybe you can help me . I'm having the same problem. The problem is, everytime I try to use any fastboot commands, it'll say "waiting for device". I'm stressing out.

Make sure you have the right drivers installed, download the latest htc sync from htc's website.
Install HTC sync connect phone and let the drivers install, then make sure you close htc sync from the system tray and try again.
Like DvineLord said below make sure you're in the bootloader then select Fastboot once selected it should say in red writing Fastboot USB.
fastboot only works in bootloader btw
Hit the thanks button for the people helping you fix your boo boos.
If you can type it, click it for them, least you can do in return.

Hello, all. I've spent the last four hours trying update my AT&T HTC One X running Android 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 and I failed hard!
First, I used the all-in-one toolkit to unlock my bootloader, flash clockwork recovery, and root the phone. The first guide I was following gave me error status 7 when I tried to flash the ROM so I wen to this guide:
update-htc-one-x-cm101-android-422-jelly-bean-custom-firmware/2/ (from team android website)
I got to the step below using the SDK I downloaded from dev.android.com and now my phone is dead! The HTC logo appears and then it goes to a black screen. Luckily, I can still reach my fastboot and clockwork recovery menu but nothing I try makes the phone boot.
Step 8 - Type the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Step 9 - Then, type the following command and press Enter.
fastboot reboot
I just want my phone back to normal please! I don't care about rooting anymore. Thank you.

4.2 with minor tweaks sounds great! Although right now I kinda just want to the stock "boot.img" to verify that my phone is still usable and not totally bricked.

Quick update...I flashed boot.img of the first link (CynogenMod) and my phone got passed the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen! But now it seems stuck on HTC One (Beats Audio at the bottom) screen. I'll give it a few minutes...
I'm really worried that I did major damage to my phone in the bootloader and clockwork recovery menus. I literally tried every single option there trying to get my phone to boot earlier.
Oh man...it seems stuck. Maybe I should just flash the completely stock boot.img file. If that works, I will factory reset my phone just to make sure everything is back to how it was before.
Dude it sounds like you're trying to flash a cm boot.img with a Sense ROM, that ain't gonna work. You can't just extract a boot.img and flash it with a different ROM.
You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM you're about to flash, then flash that ROM, then flash the boot.img you just extracted.

Thanks for your help man. If what you're saying is correct, does that mean my phone is hopeless? I deleted/wiped everything using the ClocworkMod Recovery menu. When I choose "install zip from sdcard" I get "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" and when I try to mount an sdcard I get "Error mounting /sdcard". I don't think I can flash any ROMs right now unless install zip from sideload is an option (I don't know how sideloading works).
Try using TWRP recovery instead, you'll find it here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
Download it, check md5 is correct, then:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
(Filename = exact TWRP recovery filename)
Then issue this command:
fastboot erase cache
Then:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should be able to select recovery on your phone screen and it should boot into TWRP. Next go to mount and mount usb storage. See if it comes up in Windows, it might need to be formatted from the sounds of it. If it doesn't show up as a usable drive, format it to fat32.
Once that's done you should be able to copy a ROM to your phone to flash. So copy it over, then extract the boot.img from the copy on your pc, then put the boot.img in your fastboot folder.
Do a full wipe in recovery (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system), then install the ROM, then reboot to bootloader, make sure phone is connected by usb, make sure fastboot usb comes up on your phone screen then issue the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Make sure it's the boot.img from the ROM you just flashed. Now once that's done you should be able to reboot into the ROM.

I think now I need to flash GApps, right? I have this ---> gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Any chance that's the wrong zip file? Do I need a special one for CM10.1?
That's the right gapps zip, it's the most recent one so yeah you're good to flash it.
And no problems, you're welcome

I am hoping that I can find help out there. My phone will not load past the splash screen.
Over the last few days I have been trying to install a custom rom on my phone. I thought I was on the right track and now I have flashed it but it will not go past the splash screen. I would be grateful for any advice on how to get my phone back functioning. I would even be happy to have it back stock.
So my movements over the last few days have been as follows:
1) HTC DEV unlocked the bootloader
2) Used Hasoon2000's HTC Sensation 4G all-in-one to flash CWM.
3) Then the same tool to copy Prem Root onto the SD card and installed it via CWM.
4) Then used this post here to install JB Miui - http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/
Then when I rebooted it is stuck on the Miui splash screen.
At every stage I felt like things worked well and now I have that sad feeling in my stomach because I have just realized how vital my phone is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did u flash boot.img after u flashed the rom? Did u full wipe before flashing the rom? Also with s-on users its recommended to use 4ext recovery and in recovery, enable smartflash.
Where can I find information about boot.img - so that is a no. I am installing 4ext now.

open rom.zip and search for the boot.img
probably it is located in the kernel folder
place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
now boot your device to the bootloader and connect it to pc via usb(in the hboot screen it should say fastboot usb)
in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files open a cmd window and do this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then
fastboot reboot
done

as suggested before it is better to have 4ext recovery
and before flashing any rom enable smartflash from it(for S-ON devices)
smartflash it does exactly what i said above
umm i got problem with my phone, my htc go into bootloop mode after i install Revelation rom jb 1.0.0 , it goes to htc logo sreen, then black screen, then back to htc logo screen again
i do format all partition except sdcard but no luck, then i tried to restore my previous rom, it went to bootloop too ,
what should i doo ?
everytime i went into 4ext recovery , there always appear a popup says that "there are pending update to your boot partition, do you want to remove smartflash ?" <-- i dont know what is smartflash, all i do know is my phone is in hboot 1.27 , rooted,s-off, and unlocked
and everytime after i installed any room, it says "backup of your boot partition has failed, please report this bug "
Try entering fastboot via terminal and flash boot.img manually type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and see how it goes...

Assuming you have a working adb setup installed on your pc (if not follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148)
1. connect your phone to pc
2. extract the boot.img of your roms .zip file and place it in your platform-tools folder (or where fastboot is located on your system)
3. type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" (on your phone it should read "fastboot usb")
4. type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
5. when finished type "fastboot reboot"
and you are ready to go.
Remember since you are s-off, there is no need to have smartflash enabled, so disable it in your recovery...

no
put it in your adb and fastboot folder in your pc as suggested above
it works like charm, i just have to flash the boot.img from pc, even though i have to borrow my friends pc since mine on win8, anyway thank you for the information, really really help ! !
i almost got frustated since i cant do restore from backup and the flashing always stuck at <waiting for devices> in my win8 pc,
oh, one more question, if i want to flash another rom, should i just do wipe-install ( normal method ) or i still have to flash its boot.img alone from pc ? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Just follow the normal procedure
But if you have again the same message about bending to the boot partition has failed then you will have to use the boot.img of the rom again

Wanna ask something again, everytime i went into recovery to install a rom and kernel, it went to boot twice until phone went into boot animation screen. Is it normal ?
All i know is that it would only happened if i i'm on s-on, i'm s-off, and everytime i try to disable smartflash on recovery, it went enabled again

smartflash from recovery always stays disabled
check from the 4ext updater if you have enabled permantly the smartflash
