STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP? PHONE WILL ONLY BOOT TO SPLASH SCREEN THEN NOTHING? I'll bet your one x has the newer 1.14 hboot and you didn't know you had to flash the boot.img of your rom in fastboot! This tool takes care of it for you.
Hello everyone the 2.20 firmware comes with a new hboot (1.14)as we all know. It will no longer allow you to flash the boot.img of your rom in recovery. I created this one click tool to ease that process. This is a simple tool to flash the boot.img of your choice. Currently windows only anyone on MAC feel free to make a port.
1/14/2013 There is now an app out that will do this for us. However new people here are failing to search and read so I have updated the tool to make it more user friendly and almost fullproof if directions are followed to a T.
Disclaimer: You are responsible for the actions you take with your phone. I cannot be held accountable if you mess something up.
To use:
1 Unlocked bootloader
2 Custom Recovery
3 Download boot.imgflasher.zip
4 make sure you have HTC One X Drivers installed
5 make sure HTC sync is not running in the background or system tray on pc
6 Have USB Debugging under developer options turned on
7 Have fastboot under power turned off
8 Extract the downloaded zip to the location of your choice
9 Download the rom you want to flash to your pc.
10 locate the boot.img file of your rom in its zip file
11 Place your boot.img you would like to flash in the folder you extracted above.
***DO NOT PLACE THE BOOT.IMG IN ANY SUBFOLDERS, ETC SIMPLY DROP IT INTO THE FOLDER***
10 Connect phone to the pc
11 Open the folder and click the bootimageflasher.bat file. Follow on screen directions.
12 finished
The way this is set up is to be flashed prior to flashing your custom ROM. Remember that you need to have all necessary items including ROM etc on sdcard before running this script. After you flash the boot.img you can then use recovery to flash your custom ROM of choice.
It will also work if you flash the boot.img after installing the rom. Simply flash the rom of your choice then run this tool before you reboot the phone.
Happy Flashing
Download boot.img one click flasher:

sorry this is a dumb question, i am coming from a galaxy nexus and was given this phone. this only works if you are in 2.20 and already have an unlocked bootloader correct? because mine is brand new and i love it but it would be much better with cm10. so for my case im basically screwed till 2.20 is somehow rooted correct?

Is this set up to strip the signature out of stock boot.img files that are extracted from RUU? If not, you should add a disclaimer as flashing those via DD with the headers in-tact with soft-brick your device.

You can flash a rooted stock rom. There are several in the development forum.
ive been doing more reading as well i see i can install a ruu from rogers as well if im reading correctly
after i get rid of the s/u files and after i lock the bootloader?
is that what you mean by rooted stock roms
thanks elvis
What he means is you don't have to ruu back to stock and relock bootloader. You can just flash a sense ROM. However if you have hboot 1.14 you'll have to flash the boot IMG in adb.
If your rooted with 2.20 firmware and 1.14 hboot? I can send you a link with some walkthrough if you'd like?
Sent from my One X using xda premium
my hboot is 1.11.0000 i believe its 2.20 build number is 2.20502.7cl79936 hope that makes sense

Hello,
I hope someone can advise me what to do to unbrick my phone. First of all i´ll post phone details,
HTC ONE X 16gb ATT
HBOOT 1.14 unlocked -ON
2.20 Stock ROM
Rooted
TRWP Recovery 2.3.1 wen it the bootloop happen, now it has 2.3.3
Ihad succesfully rooted my phone than I came accross an JB RUU from europe and tryed to run it whilebootloader was unlocked and got an error after a while after it tryedo to push the file, My worst mistake was that I thought I runned a backup and did not.
So when I go to recovery mode on TWRP I tryed to push a custom ROM thru the mounting usb feature and it asked me to format the drive, after a while trying it I said &%$· it and format it, I can now load smal files but not ROM because of the size I judge it, it gets stuck on the transfer bar at around 10%.
Since I thought I wasnt going to be able to fix it I just went and wipe everything even system.
Do I have a $300 dls. paperweight now, or is there still hop for it?
I appreciate your help.
Let's get you a fresh start than you can do some more reading.... Go into bootloader than click fastboot now on your comp navigate within a command prompt to where you have your fastboot files stored and type "fastboot OEM lock" that will lock your bootloader and than grab the 2.20 ruu and run it while in bootloader mode and you'll be back
Same thing I was gonna post, to slow lol
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Also, next time don't flash anything for the international One X unless you want a real brick.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Ok, I´ll try it again, after reading some posts here I capture that bootloader neeed to be locked went and tryed it and, they 2.20 RUU from ATT which is the original one, it just kept on pushing the file for more than an hour I just unpluged it and kept on playing with it.
Shoul I leave it runing all night long?
By the way is it normal that there isn't any progres bar on the phone.?
Don't push the RUU.. Download it to your computer and run it with your phone plugged in.

Can you still get to recovery? If so just download cleanrom 5.1, transfer that rom and flash the whole thing in twrp
To do this just "mount" in twrp. Go to my computer, and locate cleanrom.. Just drag and drop the zip file onto your phone. Now "unmount" and choose install in twrp. Choose cleanrom, slide to flash.

On the swipe to install screen in twrp, make sure you uncheck md5 sum option. Or of you've unzipped that ROM and made edits, make sure all options on that screen are unchecked

So I was going to switch roms on the fly and use flash image gui and found the rom, selected recovery img, and flashed. Success, so i rebooted to recovery. Weird part is, it took me to bootloader. Thinking I hit the wrong thing I moved to recovery and it sends me to fastboot. I assume I did something wrong and have to flash twrp again?

You should really do some reading on this phone. People have bricked them by not reading enough before attempting flashing ROMs. Flashing the wrong rom, become familiar with adb/ fastboot commands, and generally how the phone works and the proper steps to get it accomplished successfully. And after reading if u still aren't 100% then ask before attempting, its easier to find it something won't work right before you flash and then need help to recover the device.

You are boot looping because on hboot 1.14 you can't flash the boot image from recovery. Has to be pushed with fastboot.. So the boot image from your previous ROM is still there, resulting in a boot loop

Haha! I was gonna say something similar to this as hboot 1.14 + s-on + flashing boot.img is posted ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE and if not just from reading a sticky, a search surely would pull this info up... but then i figured, what's the point? OP won't care and people will continue to not read and have issues as a result. Best thing to do is just embrace the noobs with their nooblike behaviour!

Even your terminology is off. Don't do anything to your phone yet. Click the link in my signature, poor yourself a nice big cup of coffee and have a good read.

+1 best advice so far
OP, do yourself a huge favor and listen to this. I personally don't care how familiar you THINK you are with mobile devices, EVERY device is different. Sit down, relax and read. If you can't get the terms RUU, HBOOT or don't even know if you have the Evita, please read everything possible before you brick your phone. If you do brick, don't come crying here about how to unbrick either.

if i make root to the phone, the result - root access to the bootloader > so i could install another recovery for my phone > what gives to me access to install another ROM or *.zip file ..
another result can be Brick .. that i could use the phone for paper holder, or door stopper ...
can't see this working out well....

Ok Im wanting to install some 3.4 kernel roms but needing to update to to the latest hboot and fw I am S-off, Super CID and rooted can I just run the ruu as it is? with out fear of a hard brick? or will I have to revert anything back, Im running slimbean and on 1.14 hboot
If you are s-off you can just run the ruu, flash recovery through fastboot , and then flash a ROM.

SuperCID will stay. You'll just need to flash recovery again, and then either flash superuser to stay stock rooted, or flash a custom ROM.

If running a ruu and s-off no need to flash a recovery. Ruu does it for you and no need to lock bootloader if your s-off as well

hell no. TWRP is a custom recovery as opposed to stock recovery

Yea thats what I always thought, was just bein sarcastic.. So for the sake of the thread and the O.P. To retain root you would have to flash recovery after running the RUU correct? Because the gentleman that I was originally responding to stated that theres no need to flash recovery, that the RUU does this for us...
Yes you need to flash TWRP again after you run an RUU. The RUU only flashes the stock recovery.

Ya I used that one click tool for XL to get the recovery..now on to further questions instead of making a new thread i decided to reuse this one.. anyways after I got through all that i decided to go ahead and flash some custom roms and ended up with the same results when ever someone sends me pics or videos through text, they will download fine until i connect to a wifi, then i get an error saying "couldn't download now, please try again later. Even when I disconnect from the wifi i get the same error and sometimes will not even get data untill I wipe and re flash but everything works fine with the stock rom.. what could cause this i have tried messing with the data options in settings and nothing works. rom's I have used are
Root box
slim bean
xylon
all of them have acted that same and all use the 3.4 kernel. so I'm stuck on stock until i can figure out whats going on :crying: so any help is greatly appreciated :good:
I've never used WiFi with those ROMs so I'm not sure. But are you sure your apn settings are correct? Also, have you tried toggling airplane mode on and off after disconnecting from WiFi?
Sent from my Evita
Ya tried the apn settings and no go also airplane mode toggle will bring back 4g most of the time but still can't download any mms messages
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Faults like this are usually caused by incorrect apn settings but I could be wrong.
Sent from my Evita
Is this on AT&T or a different carrier?
Am I reading correctly, WiFi data works in general, mobile data works in general, just mms is not working?
Yes wifi data and mobile data work but mms won't download with either on custom roms only but will work fine on stock
