deleted htc framework file and phone doesnot start.
After rooted my htc One X. In the process of removing at&t crap ware I accidentally deleted something that said htc frame work.
From then on my phone would not start. I unlocked my phone as well. How ever I didnot have any custom ROM installed or didnot have any back up done.
When I tried to reboot my phone after deleting the htc frame work file, it would not start. HTC icon would show up and it would not go further.
These are the things I did.
1. I flashed CWM.
2.I flashed TWRP.
3.I finally flashed CWM. 5.8.3
Then I went to fastboot mode and
removed Dalvik Cache, Erased the sd card
and tried to 'mount usb storage' but it would say
"unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)SD card space free:10169MB"
My phone though shows as a removable disk , when i click on the icon it would say " Please insert disk into removable disk." I tried to save a custom ROM on my memory card and flash it but my system doesnot detect my phone.
Can some one please help me?
Thank you.
HTC Framework is part of the OS. You deleted part of the OS.
Install TWRP and mount USB, then load a custom ROM or one of the rooted stock ROMs in the Development forum.
Alternately, relock the bootloader and run the RUU.
Lock bootloader run ruu start over. Next time the very first thing you do is make a nandroid back up.

When I tried to mount my phone as usb it would not. I mentioned that as well.

Adding a note to it. my phone is s-on and did not have android sdk installed on my machine. i tried all this using fastboot files and twrp img.
Thank You

You mentioned you tried to mount USB using fastboot (I've never mounted USB using fastboot, so I can't comment on that). Try mounting USB within TWRP, and see if that works. FYI, the USB mount feature in CWM does not work, and CWM does not really support our device, and has major issues. That's why its strongly recommended you use TWRP and not CWM.

Website seems to be too busy now. As long as its not 2.20, it should be okay. Normally, I would caution against randomly searching around the internet for things and flashing them, and instead getting them here instead. But briefmobile is Kenneth Penn's website, and he is a known developer on XDA.

You deleted part of the OS, so I'd say no. It doesn't boot does it? Then it doesn't work.
Also, please click "Thanks" to the post that help you.
the link you sent really helps. i flashed twrp then cwm then twrp. does it matter somehow flashing these things multiple times?

No, you can only have one recovery. Flash one, you overwrite whatever you had before.

I'd stay away from CWM. I know it used to cause problems, but I don't know if it does anymore.
Most everybody here (in the One XL forums) prefer TWRP anyways.
Thanks for you time everybody.
This is what I did last night.
Downloaded a RUU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
and put my phone in the fastboot usb mode and ran RUU.
After a while my phone would have a blank screen with glowing "htc" logo on it, as shown in the RUU utility.
Nothing happens and my phone is still in the state of brick.
Thank You

You must relock your bootloader temporarily or the RUU will fail. As long as you have your unlock token you can re-unlock once you RUU.
When you are in fastboot, type "fastboot oem lock"
Once it's locked, run the RUU.
Once that is done, re-unlock by flashing the token.

Go in to bootloader. You already said you were able to do that. Hold down the volume key when you boot your phone, go into bootloader, run the fastboot command.
Gunny stated that BL had to be locked at the start of the thread. Does anyone ever read anymore? I mean, seriously....

This is like the 3rd or 4th thread in the past couple weeks that Gunny or redpoint has told the OP to relock and RUU but they said it wasn't working still. And then I've come in and said they have to relock and the OP hadn't done it yet. So no, apparently people don't read lol.
But in almost every thread things have to be said 2-3 times which is ridiculous

I posted in the Q&A of the general One X forum and they told me to post my problem here.
I tried flashing CM10 mod on my One X and because I am a noob I omitted to do a backup of my phone when I wiped everything. I then proceeded as usual, flashed the boot.img then opened the zip to install CM10, then flashed boot.img again but it didnt work.
I don't know how but after that I successfully messed up my phone. I have no ROM, Lost TWRP, have no backup and the only thing I can use is Fastboot and Bootloader.
My phone lo longer appears on my computer so I cannot move files onto it.
I relocked my phone and flashed all the RUU's that I could find. Used the ARUwizard to try the PJ83IMG to no avail.
Every answer I found on the internet did not work so far and I'm getting desperate. Nothing seems to work. Is there a solution?
PS: Is it just me or is the rogers HTC One X harder and more complicated to mod than other versions of the phone? If I were to buy a new phone which one should I buy?
PPS: Buying a new phone is my last option. I do not want to resort to that. I will if I have to.
This is why 1 click unlocks are so bad for the community. People mindlessly unlock their phones and screw it up.
As for your situation, if you run a RUU successfully but your phone still won't boot then you're probably SOL. Go ask Niceppl and see if he can help you.
And no, Rogers is the easiest to mod. HTCDev supports Rogers HOX bootloader unlock. After that, the rest is the same.

Everytime I try an RUU it says I have the wrong RUU for the device... I tried all of them that I could download. Do I need to do anything else before flashing the RUU maybe?
You didn't SuperCID which is essential for ATT RUU. Right now you basically have a phone with Rogers ID trying to install ATT RUU so it fails.
If you can't get 1.73 rogers RUU working then I have no clue what you can do.
Can you unlock the phone still from fastboot?
If you can have tried to reflash twrp from fastboot?
If it works you may be able to mount the sd card from twrp and move rom to your sd card and flash it.
Just throwing out some ideas since nothing you have tried has worked so far.

Hmm. That sounds like it got corrupted, which may be why your phone cant access anything. Your comp should only be able see the partition that acts like the external sd, so formatting it SHOULD be ok, but get a few more opinions on that before you do it. If so then you can copy a rom on and flash it in twrp.
Could it be -?
I've been trying and trying.
I've been told by someone that maybe I could plug in an SD card reader into my phone. It wasn't recognized.
Could it be my firmware update?
My phone in RUU or ARUwizard or "getvar version-main" says my phone rom version is 1.94.631.3
The rogers RUU out there is 1.73.631.1
Could that be why I cannot install anything on this brick?

I believe that is the new Rogers OTA. I believe it may have the hboot update which is not rootable. If you have already relocked your boot loader and have the updated hboot, you may have a bookend I am afraid.
All you can do is unlock your bootloader again, push twrp recovery via fastboot, then mount the SD from recovery and copy a rooted custom ROM to your SD and flash it.
Hopefully someone will chime in and tell me I am wrong for your sake....

If only my VSD worked... I gave you a thanks anyways. I'll wait for something to come up I guess. I'm kinda fed up with trying and nothing working over and over again.
If you have fastboot why not go through htcdev bootloader unlock? Every in here has suggested it.
Once unlocked flash new recovery and install a rom?
Ps force reboot the phone also by holding the power button for 10seconds.
Thank you for your imput. But my problem lies in the fact I cannot access my phone storage to install a custom rom nor can I flash a working RUU.

Update on the situation
So I just tried TWO different methods and both did not work .
1.) I tried pushing a custom rom (Nocturna) to my SD card.
I cannot access ADB unless I am in TWRP, and pushing a file that big to my SD just crashes my phone. My SD also still cannot mount, I still cannot partition it, I still cannot do anything regarding my sd.
So I tried pushing the zip to other folders on my phone and I got a Process error like before on cmd promt as well as a crash TWRP.
So then I tried a second method.
2.) Downgrading software.
Since my firmware version was 1.94.xxx.x I tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671135
Everything went fine. Bootloader shows 1.11.0000 even though I wrote 1.00.000.0 and in the RUUs it shows 1.00.000.0.
But now that my phone is relocked, suprise! NONE of the RUUs work. I thought this would certainly fix the problem but aparently not.
Any suggestions?

Yes if there was a 1.94 ruu it might work but I don't think I've seen one but I could be wrong.

I recently had this issue cause i was messing around and I hit wipe in TWRP by accented. So it wipped everything on my phone to include the Hboot so no version showed up when i tried to flash the RUU. I grabbed the OTA 2.20 update with the kernal and now everything works minus the battery its drains crazy fast.
Hey all, sorry if this seems like other questions being posted, but I can not get my phone to work even after attempting the other fixes posted on the forums. I rooted my phone and was running the stock rom that came preloaded with it. I attempted to install CM10 through Rom Manager to no success, so I then tried to manually flash it as well as Gapps. My phone initially got stuck at the CM10 bootloader, but i could still go into CWM Recovery 5.8.3.1. After trying to get the rom to work more, it seems as if all I can access is CWM Recovery and nothing else. My phone wont even boot into the bootloader anymore and all i have access to is CWM Recovery.
I am not the most tech savvy individual when it comes to this since it has been ages since i tinkered with roms, but I would really like to fix this. So heres the facts since my post is so long (sorry!):
-Phone WILL NOT go into bootloader
-Can ONLY ACCESS ClockworkMod Recovery (5.8.3.1)
-SD Card wont mount (I get error "E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)")
I really just want to go back to stock and root again from scratch to reduce any errors like this from occurring in the future and ANY help would be appreciated because I am totally lost and without a phone now. To make things even more difficult, I only have access to a Mac running Lion....although i do have Windows 8 through the use of a bootcamp program, so I CAN run windows programs. Thank you all for any information you may have!

Are you using TWRP or CWM as your recovery?
twrp
You will not be able to flash any custom roms as long as your bootloader is locked. The most you can do with the locked bootloader is use an RUU to get back to stock. Which bootloader are you on now? 1.14?
my bootloader is unlocked at this moment. um would my bootloader be where it says.. hboot? if so its 2.13.0000?
Correct, the bootloader is an all white screen, with the radio, hboot and other such info at the top of it. Well you are good then. Just so we are clear you have a HTC One S S4 right, you dont have a HTC One S C2? Thats very important that we get that info correct, we don't want to brick your device.
im almost certain its a s4.. i got it from t mobile here in the uk any check i can do from the bootloader to confirm?
If you're not S-off, did you make sure to fastboot flash the kernel after flashing rom in recovery?
From my Evo LTE, yup.
im s-on, and no i dont believe i did no
how would i go about fixing that?

You should have read and followed the instructions in the OP of the rom you downloaded so.
Try flashing boot.img in fastboot mode with typing 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in terminal window. Hope you're familiar with the platform-tools in android development kit...
Else download here and
follow the step by step instructions.
reboot into bootloader with your phone connected to you pc. make sure you are in Fasboot USB mode, it should say that in the bootloader screen. Move the boot.img from whatever rom you flashed and put it in the same directory as ADB and Fastboot. make sure its named boot.img. open a command prompt that points at that same directory as ADB and Fastboot, type
fasboot flash boot boot.img

Is it still locked? And you're on custom recovery (twrp)?
You need to reflash the ROM you want. Then reboot into the boot loader from TWRP. Once there, follow my previous instructions.

Looking at few forums, downloaded the OTA version on XDA (631 Mb)
Saw people writing, that just rename the file to update.zip and then go to recovery and choose install from internal memory.
That dint work for me.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then few people wrote to choose install from external mem.
That dint work either.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then saw few people saying that I need to root my device and unlock bootloader.
I dint that, and tried from bootlaoder to install from zip.
That also dint work.
Now saw, I few wrote that i need to be S - OFF.
Which I tried doing it, but i m not able to do s-off for myself.
Pls pls pls.... can any of you EXPERTs out here help me.
Waited like for AT&T to release the update, now when it is out, i m not able to make it through.
Your step by step instruction would be highly appreciable.
Be aware, that if you have the AT&T version, and you are rooted, then you probably have SuperCID (in fact, you must have SuperCID, unless it was already changed back). If you have SuperCID you must S-off (or return to the AT&T CID) before applying the OTA, or you will brick your phone!
I am not all that familiar with the process to install using OTA.zip (and haven't done it myself), but it was discussed in these threads:

No, that is a very small question. Or at least a very easy one to answer.
Take 5 minutes to look around before asking "big" questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172
If you would read my first post, I have already posted that I tried doing that was not able to do.
On the third comment that we need push in , where it given an error 92 or something like that, I dint got that.
Tried many times and then it became a "big" for me.
We all are born not experts in every field.
So before comenting pls try to know what's behind it

Lol it doesn't take an expert to read and take five mins..this is probably one if the easiest s off methods you'll see for awhile... You probably didn't set up your adb fastboot environment up right

I tried this method couple of time before : unlocking, rooting and S-off ing
In this case , do i need to relock my bootloader and stock recovery?
If yes, where can i find stock recovery, i have deleted it.
By "i deleted it" do you mean you installed a custom recovery? If so, yes you need to get stock recovery back on.
Only way I know of to reinstall stock recovery is to run the 2.20 ruu. Since you're s-off, you don't need to relock; just run it.

I am not a techie but as far as i know, i have not installed a custom recovery.
I did TWRP tool kit, rooting and unlocking bootloader.
How can see if i am custom recovery or stock

You probably have a custom recovery. Reboot to bootloader and select recovery and see what you get. If it's TWRP, you'll get a teamwin splash screen and then some options. Stock recovery will just show a screen with a green circle.

Could you gimme a link for stock recovery image
I do not know if one is available. I have never seen one posted. Running a ruu will put it back on.

I have already done that.
And now in case anyone needs help, i can help those people out.
Coz the method is simple, but it is not at all explained clearly in any of the threads.
It has come in bit and pieces.
I have noticed one thing.
That after installing the update and again unlockin the bootloader and rooting, I am not able to see "TAMPERED" being written in the boatloader.
Also, now when I am rooted and also have SU permission, I m not able to switch on my WiFi tether with the files mentioned in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677261
The "TAMPERED" flag goes away when you're s-off and flash a new hboot.
I believe wifi tether is blocked on the new AT&T base. You can flash a custom rom on the 3.17 base and it should work.
Hi guys, a few day ago my One SV had some problems, rebooting itself and runs very slowly; so i tryed to do something like root it, but not knowing what i'm doing 'cause i don't have much time.
Probably installing a wrong rom, now I'm stuck in the bootloader with S-ON Tampered, Locked, and Security Warning flags.
The phone stuck with htc logo, i only manage to go into bootloader, pdanet gives me sync error, twrp recovery doesn't work anymore.
Is there something I can do now?

As long as your device is Locked, you can't flash a custom recovery.
So unlock your device at htcdev.com, flash Twrp recovery and flash back a working rom.
Use a Android 4.1.2 rom, otherwise you will have problems with noisy sound.

How do you mount the sd?
At least pull it out of your device and put it into your PC and copy needed files in this way.
One thing i could not solve earlier (because of bad internet connection): did you already install the Android 4.2.2 update or what was your software running on your device before? Thats important to give you the right rom for your firmware!
I'll give you the links anyway:
4.1.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2254384
4.2.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512742
Rumrunner & moonshine are confirmed working for your hboot, but which you should use at least also depends on your previous software.

Im sorry That error is from the twrp recovery when i try to install superuser.. It says unable to mount int sd.. I think internal memory
Ignore it. Only use the files, recommended in my index thread (use SuperSu, not Superuser), link in my signature.
And answer the other question.

Ok, so you can use the second link for the stock rom. And rumrunner for S-off.

I installed the 4.2.2 versions, seems completed but phone remains with black screen showing only the top bar with the clock, then reboot itself; sometimes after reboot it shows the bottom clock and lock, you can also unlock it, but then it reboots;
One time it shows me the backgroud.
Maybe it's a motherboard problem, what do you think?
Thanks

Have you flashed the boot.img with fastboot? Did you wipe everything before?
May give the 4.1.2 rom a try.

Stop. Did you only wipe data/cache/dalvik.
No system?
You need to wipe all, except internal & external sd!

Also system yes. And if i wiped the internal sd?
anyway after installing the rom, from twrp internal storage is 0 MB
Then i'm running out of ideas
As the roms worked for other people, i also start thinking thats something bugged with your device.
You checked md5sum of the roms? Using latest TWRP recovery?

Yes, used the latest TWRP recovery.
the recovery say to me no md5 file, is this the problem?
How can I check the md5 now?
I don't know the name of the tool (i'm at work), but you will find it with google search, i think.
In recovery this is not a problem, its only to check on your pc, if the downloaded file is the same as the upload.
