i need help!! - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I accidentally flashed the boot.img onto the phone without transferring CM10 and G-apps over. Now I can't mount in USB mode (CWM issue) and I'm in a bootloop while trying to get back and put them over in USB mode on the normal ROM. Anyone know what to do?

Flash the boot img of your old rom

i didnt back it up, although i have another htc one x phone working identical, is there some way i could just clone one phone to the other to get it up and running.

So you went to recovery and did a wipe after flashing the boot img?

Re flash a recovery in boot loader or ruu I suppose

[Q] Possibly Bricked NXS4G...Help!?!

So, I'm in a bad spot with my Nexus S 4g. I had CWR installed on it and flashed a new rom yesterday to try it out, I had been running Deck's rom. I don't remember what the name of the rom was I flashed yesterday, but I didn't care for it so I was going to flash MIUI this morning. When i went to boot into recovery it brought me to the fastboot screen and said no boot or recovery img. From there I rebooted back to the rom I have loaded and tried to search around on the interwebs a little. I went into ROM Manager and tried to reflash the recovery, but that didn't work as upon reboot it did the same thing in returning to fastboot everytime. I did some more searching and I found info on an app called flash image that's in the app store that will flash kernels and recovery's. So I dl'd it and tried to reflash clockwork recovery from there. It gave me an error about not enough free space on the device. I went back to ROM Manager and set it to erase the current recovery before it flashed the new one in hopes that it would resolve the issue. So I reflashed the recovery again and went to boot to recovery. Now I can't get past the bootloader/fastboot screen at all. It won't boot to android, it won't boot to recovery. My pc won't recognize the phone to allow me to install the drivers for adb...I'm at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea what to do next.
Thanks in advance...
Did you try to flash recovery through the computer from the cmd window, Because ROM manager doesn't flash recovery properly sometimes.

[Q] Phone won't boot to system or recovery

So I tried to flash Magnolia X 1.0 coming from MIUI. After I wiped from MIUI and tried to install Magnolia I got an error. No big deal right? So I figured I would reboot recovery ( clockwork mod ) and try again, if it didn't work I could restore MIUI. When I hit reboot recovery I got stuck in a bootloop, from white htc screen to off. It just looks like it is trying to get to recovery but it is not loading it for some reason. So I decided to boot it into hboot and reflash the recovery, or possibly flash twrp. Now my problem is that the computer is not recognizing the phone, so none of my fastboot or adb commands do anything I just get <waiting for device>. Any ideas?
So right after I made the post I was able to get the drivers to reinstall and was able to re flash the recovery. Tried both CWM and TWRP and neither will boot. With TWRP I can get to the recovery splash screen but then it just goes black. Downloading the RUU now and I am going to try to flash that through the bootloader. Other than that I have no othe ideas...anyone else have any?
Got it...had to relock bootloader and run ruu then extract the stock recovery and flash it. Rebooted into recovery let it sit, then it rebooted back to the bootloader. Re-unlocked bootloader then flashed TWRP and it worked fine. Back up and running again.

is it possible to flash a recovery from on my verizon S3 with odin

I need to flash clockworkmod recovery or even stock recovery from my rooted verizon galaxy s3 but im stuck in a bootloop. My current recovery is bootlooping too. It just gets to the verizon screen and keeps looping. Is there any way to use Odin to flash a recovery or that impossible due to the locked bootloader? Would it reset the recovery to stock if I flash the stock rom without root using odin?
A little help out there would be much much appreciated. Im stumped.
try ROM manager premium it gives u the possibilety to flash that recovery
srr for bad english
cant get passed bootloop to do that
i cant get into my phone to get rom manager. its stuck at a bootloop. I need to get passed the boot sequence. My recovery is InvisibleK's overclocked stock rom and its trying to boot into that when i reboot recovery... and i flashed a rom to get off cyanogen mod but i need to get to recovery mode to do a factory reset. My recovery just boots up like normal though. So i need to somehow flash a recovery via odin or something like that. I need to get rid of the recovery image i have and get a different one that will actually take me into recovery mode.

[Q] Flashed new kernel, won't boot

I used Hasoon2000's HTC All-In-One Kit to root my phone. That all worked.
The issue came when i flashed a new kernel. I placed the boot.img from King Kang's new ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959099)
Anyway, When i boot I get the HTC, quietly brilliant logo, and this in red letters "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distrubute... "
i can boot into recovery (pwr+ vol down)
And i get the ***TAMPERED*** AND ***unlocked*** tags at the top
I don't know where to go from here...
Thanks for the help.
Also, whenever i boot into recovery or factory reset, neither succeed.
This was probably known info, just wanted to add it.

You mentioned in your original post that you could boot into recovery, so is that not working now? Factory reset might've fubared the recovery piece, so you could do one of two things:
1) download the original RUU version for your phone, relock your phone, and flash the RUU and start over.
2) try reinstalling TWRP.
This whole thing sounds like trying to install a kernel or fastboot flash a boot.img without SuperSU correctly installed. This is what happened to me when I first unlocked my phone and tried to fastboot flash the CM10 boot.img after failing the flash from recovery twice. Without that super-user permission, bad things tend to happen. If you decide to continue on with reinstalling TWRP, make sure SuperSU.zip is flashed successfully from
TWRP, then try your rom/kernel combination again (or even a different combination if you're apprehensive).
BEWARE: sometimes partially flashing these things can corrupt your sd card. I had to reflash the original RUU to fix my phone BEFORE I rerooted and flashed a rom/kernel.
Have you fastbooted a SU to your phone after you rooted and unlocked? I'd imagine you did if you followed the toolkit.. So your on 2.20... Just download cleanrom 5.1 on your computer. Mount sdcard via recovery and drag cleanrom onto phone. Flash entire rom in recovery. I bet it works
Once your on a stable rom, download king kang from your phone. Download flashgui. Open flashgui app, navigate to king kang and let it find the boot img and flash it for you.. Once successful, immediately boot into recovery and flash entire rom through twrp.

[Q] Red Triangle, Dead Android

After months of flashing everything in sight on my NS4g, the device appears to have rolled over and died! It started a few days ago, when it rebooted and asked me for a password to decrypt from storage (no password has ever been set). I couldn't get past that screen, so I decided to boot into recovery (TWRP), reinstall ROM (CM10) and gapps and restore data from backup.
No go. It just kept rebooting into recovery. But I was able to connect the phone to the PC and copy files from the phone but could not copy or delete files on the phone from the PC.
I used fastboot, Odin, and one-click-stock to wipe the device and install factory images, but the phone would boot no further than the red triangle-dead android.
Is my phone dead? I searched the forums and couldn't find any solutions other than to do what I have already done.

When you flashed to stock you erased your recovery.. Reconnect to your computer and push a recovery onto your phone and you're good to go..
Unfortunately, when I flashed TWRP and boot.img to the phone using fastboot and attempted to boot into recovery, bootloader reports "No Boot or Recovery Img."

Try the Nexus tool kit and from the bootloader (power and vol. up) select flash to stock (bricked) then in advanced boot temporary recovery to flash the recovery of your choice.. or push a boot image.

Wish I had better news but ... using the Nexus tool kit I was able to boot into TWRP but when trying to flash CM10 and gapps for this phone the flash failed; likewise, I could not flash CM10 and gapps by pushing the files from the PC to the phone. I first did flash to stock (bricked) but that brought me back to the red triangle, dead android.
I am beginning to suspect that the phone internal sdcard is corrupted ... is there a way to test for that?

When you got it to flash to stock did it boot up fully?
Remember that flashing to stock removes custom recoveries and you will need to flash one

No, the phone never did boot up fully. It got to the Google screen with the unlock icon and then to the red triangle, dead Android.

This happened when you tried stock or custom?..
Did it fully boot on stock image?..
The dead android usually shows up when you attempt to boot into recovery and you don't have one... If you try to boot and you loop back to the dead android it usually means you don't have a rom...
Try again to flash to stock, use the toolkit to boot a temporary recovery and flash a custom recovery.. Then make sure you are flashing the correct rom and correct gapps for that rom and for your phone.

I know have a recovery because the tool kit booted into TWRP; furthermore, the tool kit installed a TWRP 2.3 image (prior to installing the tool kit I was on 2.5 so the tool kit did something). From there, I tried to flash CM10 and gapps in the sdcard/download folder, but that failed, with TWRP returning message similar to "error opening ZIP".
I have used Odin to flash the stock image and it did not fully boot, ending at the dead android. Same results for flashing the stock image using fastboot with the phone connected to the PC. Same results with using the Nexus tool kit to flash a stock image (first JB and then, when that didn't boot, ICS). And, after the toolkit booted into temporary recovery (TWRP), I tried to flash (in this order) CM10 plus gapps, JB stock, and ICS, each time with the same results (no full boot, dead android).
I am with you when you say that the dead android means there is no rom, because my efforts to flash any rom, whether stock or custom, don't do anything. To all appearance, the phone contains a bootloader and a recovery and nothing else.
Thanks for your persistence ... any ideas for something else to try?

I'm at a loss.. Try again, maybe there's something missing.. And flash only one at a time and see if it worked (just ROM then reboot) then wipe d+c and flash gapps reboot then wipe flash... Ect... Ect...

I am too. Every method known to me (Odin, fastboot, adb) to flash a ROM, whether custom or stock, has failed to boot. Thanks for hanging with me on this; if you can think of solution I'll be glad to have it. Or if I solve it, I'll post here.
