[Q] I hope I didn't brick my phone

I'm new to android and really hope I didn't pooch my phone.
I tried installing Jelly Bean and now can't do much of anything. I can get into bootloader and load up team windows recovery (not sure what to do in there)
When I am in fastboot and try through a command prompt adb devices doesn't list the HTC One X (Rogers, Canada)
I really am not sure what to do. I have downloaded a ton of stuff nothing seems to make a difference (HTC drivers, img and zip files..) I think it boils down to getting some direction on what troubleshooting to do with the exact files I would need to use.

flash a rom in recovery ofcourse.
adb doesnt work in hboot only fastboot. your phone is fine. you need to copy the rom zips to your sdcard. then go to install inside recovery. you can mount your sdcard inside recovery also so you can copy stuff. you should still be able to reboot the system normal and have it boot fine. unlocking and flashing recovery doesnt wipe your phone.

One_X_2.17.401.2_deodexed.zip
ROM-017.zip
cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-017.zip
None of these worked.. they all failed.

Those are old(1st one) which you can't flash in recovery anyways since its an RUU or not for your phone(Other 2).

So you flashed a .zip file, not knowing what it would do or what would happen? Nevertheless, a .zip file not for your device?

No, if you can get into fastboot your fine.... I would just download the correct "Evita" ruu, not endeavor. Run it, do some thorough research and try again......... ruus can be found in the compilation roll up stickied thread

Which seems to be the only Rogers RUU however its also the only one i've seen so far that isn't an exe but a zip file.
Is there an RUU application?

Forget ruu. Flash twrp recovery if you haven't already, download viperXL in our dev section, fire up twrp, mount usb, copy viperXL over, unmount usb, install from zip, select viperXL. Zip, follow prompts, reboot, victory.
Oh then hit my thanks button...
Pm me if you need assistance cuz I am just that nice.

Weird problem

So I'm having a problem installing any AOSP ROMS on my one x. I can install any sense 4+ plus ROMS but cyanogenmod, jellybam , etc won't install they just bootloop constantly . I'm on the latest version of viper jellybean . It's a weird case unless i'm missing something which I think. Please help if you can

Even if you've taken the 4.1 ota it will boot just no working touchscreen. Op is doing something wrong. Verify that you have a onexl and are flashing a ROM for the one xl then make sure to wipe cache, dalvik, system and do a factory reset in twrp. If you wipe system and are flashing a ROM for the wrong phone you will brick so make sure you have the right ROM and phone combo. After flashing the ROM boot to fastboot and fastboot flash your boot.IMG. if you do all that your ROM will boot.

Doesnt matter if you flash it before or after ...are you full wiping? Data system caches. .. and you're flashing thorugh Fastboot right Sith Fastboot flash boot boot.img ?

Yes. Well mostly to flash the flash boot img . I was using the flash image gui app , or the flash boot .img batchfile created here on xda. They both have worked in the past .

Any ideas anyone? I just tried flashing nocturnal and my phone's just sitting at the boot logo. I've flashed the boot.img and yes my phone is a oneXL.

Similar problem
I've been having a similar problem but maybe even worse. After rooting my phone via onexroot.com tutorial I havent been able to install any custom roms. It says that the MD5 file is not found and "completes" the installation very quickly. I have tried the viper rom but i have tried the CM10 and AOKP JB. I have flashed boot.img via fastboot every time to no avail. Help please.I have ATT One X 2.20 hboot 1.14 twrp 2.4.1.0. Thanks.

I know this may sound silly but are you leaving the boot image in the zip file that you are placing in recovery? Extract the boot image from the zip but leave it in the zip file you are placing in twrp.

Yep, I just extract and copy the boot image over to user/downloads/onexrootattnew folder. Im starting to think that I did something wrong when rootin. I followed a tutorial online step by step and have twrp working and have superuser access. I'm not sure what else I'm doing wrong.

Place boot image on phone but not in any folder so that GUI can see it not in one x root. Place full zip file in downloads folder on phone storage. Use GUI to flash image. After flashing it will go into recovery. Use TWRP to install zip. Make sure you wipe system, cache and davlik cache before installing zip.
Hope this helps.

Sorry I'm still learning: what do u mean by use GUI to flash image. I've been fastbooting it via cmd on windows.

It's an application you can install on your phone that does the flashboot part for you. Search for " fash image gui apk " on here .

So I downloaded the flash GUI program and followed the steps via the video (thanks for that, very helpful) but after flashing the kernel (boot IMG) and hitting the recovery reboot option it didn't reboot, it didn't do anything. So I did a manual reboot into recovery and installed the zips and rebooted. I got to the Rom initiating page (this one had a unicorn) and it didn't go any further. The only other info I could offer is that I went the lazy way and emailed the boot image to myself on my comp and downloaded to my phone via the email. Not sure if that makes a difference. Any more ideas, I'm gonna try the ice cold jelly Rom and the viper xl later today.

So I just tried the viper 3.2 Rom and although it seemed to get a little further in the process, result is the same: stuck on viper logo. Only ice cold jelly left. When transferring zip files over to phone do o have to mount via twrp or can I just mount as disk drive via stock rom? At this point, unrooting and waiting for att's official JB update may be my only option. Thanks in advance for any help.

[Dump/Backup] 4.3 Google Edition for both TWRP/CWM + Radio + Firmware

This is a stock non rooted nandroid for Android 4.3 from the Google Edition. I will not be supplying a flashable zip as I don't have the time so either wait for someone to release a flashable zip. I'm posting this so other devs can start working on their custom stuff
TWRP Back up (system & boot): https://mega.co.nz/#!aAIgULQK!IJxicTh5qWC8csn3uwY2GmjgAelXttxn5cJNrd2sFpg

Radio (Flashable Zip): https://mega.co.nz/#!HdwxkQqC!TgSeIFmErtLL8iJkpzdR5ThAPn8S0U5BmoEZKrJ_87w
Firmware: This contains radio, Recovery, Hboot and all the other firmware for 4.3 This is not flashable and must be flashed in fastboot RUU mode https://mega.co.nz/#!6M5nCRLD!fAUWUAXWv1Sl-7HAcycrR3oxBQ0_5co3s2N5OCUt-n8
It doesn't matter what CID you're on, If you are running sense, CM, or any other rom. If you are running any other rom besides the Google Edition 4.2.2 rom you will have to perform a factory reset (aka wipe data).
There is going to be nothing maintained in this thread. it's simply for development purposes
4.3 full conversion RUUs now available in both pre rooted and stock non-rooted versions.

Thanks for the zip. Just a quick question though, how exactly is a nandroid different from a cwm zip? From what I've read you flash it just like you would a regular zip, except it deletes all user data and restores it to whatever was there during the nandroid creation?

You don't need to be rooted really. Just flash TWRP and do a back up (just your boot image so it's a quick back up) just so it creates the backup directory structure on your sd card. Boot into android and just put the folder that you unzip from the file in the OP in the same folder /sdcard/0/twrp/backup/HT?????/ folder (you'll see a similar time stamped one that you just made) plop the unzipped folder into there and then reboot back into twrp and restore.
Or you can just flash CWM and then flash that zip like any other zip

Does anyone have the radio.img from the 4.3 dump? Would love to give that a whirl over here in the states, see if anything improves.

Is there a stock rom flashable in recovery?

I loaded CM without a stock rom backed up and now I am having some service issues. I was wondering if there is a flashable stock rom we can flash in open recovery, etc that i can use to get a lock on all my carrier features. As an alternative to flashing an FZX and restoring my CM over it. Is there any kind of homescreen saver for CM so i can save all my widgets and icon locations?
Thanks in advance.

In the general section stickies there is an image you can use fastboot to install.
Don't know I if it cdma or gsm!!!

Hey welcome to xda and the ONEPlus forum. Just so you know this is a place where you should do as much troubleshooting prior to posting. Now questions:
1. have you checked the md5 to make sure it matches the zip file (Google it)
2. are you sure the file you downloaded is not corrupted
3. have you tried to open up the zip file on a pc to see if there are any issues
4. have you tried to download the file again and make another attempt
5. have you tried to download other files and flash it to pinpoint issue.
Android is great but dont play around with a phone that you will have to wait for another invite if you are unsure of what you are doing. I am saying this as someone trying to help you and not flame you....
Try the above any issues let me know

after wiping all,click on mount,uncheck system & then flash & you are good to go

google md5 checker and then go back to where you got the file and check what the md5 number is. Got to google this stuff my friend. but why dont you just download the file again. All the info you need is out there but you got to get your hands dirty and search and learn about them. Its only going to help you in the long run :good:

go to advanced wipe and simply check system, dalvik cache and cache. Nice clean wipe of system folder will always help. Remember you will have to flash gapps again as well(if necessary)
Full stock CM11S rom no need to worry about gapps

I had same issue I fixed it like this: after I pushed the cm11 zip from PC to phone using cmd, I didn't just go ahead and installed it. Instead i disconnect the phone did a reboot back into the twrp recovery, AND THEN installed the cm11 zip. That worked for me and no errors.

is there some other issue with your phone that is making you need to flash this? I ask only because you should be able to get an OTA update to that build directly from "System updates" in Settings under About...
