Successful root and unlock, can't get past splash screen :( Help

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum.
Today I successfully perm rooted my Doubleshot...
Then I tried to flash CM9 Alpha 5 using CW recovery.. downloaded the .zip...
Flashed it.. hit reboot... and it wont get past the mytouch splash screen.
I've tried flashing other roms, and other alphas.. but they all don't reboot into the rom.
I can still boot into recovery and get into ClockWork..
Any ideas on what I can flash or do to at least get any rom running on here... I'm not even picky at this point... I just wanted something like CM7 or some AOSP.
Thanks in advance.

when you say perm root you mean s-off right?

im assuming he's s on....remember to take the boot.img out of the cm9 zip and flash it using fastboot. You can find out more info on how to do it here. Also apology accepted (this should be in general)

Yes, perm root using the root tool. I believe that's S-off... but I'm not certain.

1) This goes in General. I don't know why the mods can't just add a Q&A board to remove the n00b confusion.
2) Fastboot the ROM's boot.img before booting up.

Ok, I'm def S-ON but unlocked and nperm rooted.
Can someone walk me through what to do? How can I fastboot the rom's boot.img?
I'm sorry I'm new to this, that's why I'm using my secondary device to learn. I've been googling anything I can find and it got me to through the root process but now I'm stuck.

This something I have to do with a PC (as opposed to Mac)? No way to unbrick this thing without methods like this? Just asking, before I try and commandeer a pc.

Did you not read the stickies?

You have to take the bootimage from the rom that you are using and put in a folder and name it so you can reconize it. You follow the command prompt instructions they give in this thread. You have to have some knowlege of a PC in order to be successful. I had the same problems as you did. You can get it to work... Do you know how to use the command prompt for your PC?

You can just flash back to stock to fix it. Learn to fastboot, then run CM9.

Last question before I fastboot, is it necessary to have the SDK or ADB to fastboot? Can I fastboot/flash the kernel using Hasoon's all-in-one-kit (the app I used to attain root)? Or is it too late since now the device wont boot and Hasoon "can't find the device"?
I have the boot.img I want in a place where I can locate it. Can I use the command prompt without the SDK/ADB?

Interestingly enough I was able to mount using recovery, and boot a new kernal... phone won't boot but at least it's stuck at a different splash screen lol "mikroms"..
I'm calling this progress.
*UPDATE*
Ok, got it!
I mounted the phone to my computer using recovery and used the Hasoon kit to flash the CM boot image.. then I rebooted and got the mikroms splash screen. That was because the last zip i flashed wasn't CM.. it was the MikRom..
so I went back into recovery, flashed CM.. now I'm good!

Of course not. 'Fastboot' is an 'ADB' command. BUT if Hasoon's tool 'can't find device'....that's an ADB error message and you probably don't have all the drivers installed that you need but he has the necessary files included for what you need for 'Unlocked" & recovering from a mess-up. You may as well go ahead & install ADB tho....you'll eventually need it.

I believe what you did is 'Flash' a ROM from MikROMs but the kernel didn't go because you have S-On. Take that same '.zip' you just flashed, look inside it and put the file named 'boot.img' where you can find it in the windows 'path' and THEN
'fastboot flash boot boot.img' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556
You should boot up fine then.

Problems Unlocking Bootloader

I just recently rooted my HTC One X and and now attempting to unlock the bootloader using HTC Dev. I've gotten my folder set up with all of the correct files (ADB and such) as well as gotten Android SDK installed. So far I've gotten into my command prompt and navigated to my file called "fastboot" that contains all of my adb files. I'm stuck at the fastboot unlock token stage. Whenever I enter that I get this error-
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I've played around with it and tried different things, but still get this error. I am in bootloader/fastboot mode so that isn't the problem.
One thing I find interesting is that if I do "adb devices" I get
C:\fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached

So as you can see, it doesn't say there are any devices connected. Is this normal?
Please, if you see what I'm doing wrong it'd be great if you could help me out!

A couple different threads now I'm 99.9 percent sure you isn't have to flash the boot img. U can post in the q and a section if you really must you'll get a straight answer there

First you do have adb files installed? If you do make sure you install the drivers. Just install HTC Sync and make sure that it's not running in the task bar. Then try again. I'm almost sure that the drivers are missing in this case.

Sorry I'm just incredibly lazy and forget to read sometimes , well since you never took the 2.20 RUU/OTA you just have to run the zip unless the instructions for the rom specificly says to flash the boot.img.

At this point i just want to restore it back to normal , idc if i lose data , i just want my phone to WORK! I've flashed a clean recovery.img but whenever i try to access recovery , it brings me back to that screen with the red words. In addition , my phone is rogers so i can't even find a correct RUU to install. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my phone to work again ? Any help is greatly welcomed !
P.S Wow i think it got worse , now it doesnt even loop again , it goes start into that menu bootloader, reboot , power down.. Omg i spent 5 hours looking into this. I NEED HELP!

..... It says that on every One X, it's HTC telling whoever turns the phone on that you used HTCDev.com
Make Sure you have TWRP (recovery) flashed/installed ... then in the bootloader go into recovery and flash cm10 ... and since you probably have the newer hboot 1.14 that means that you HAVE to flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot
Which is simple,
flash cm10
then reboot into the bootloader > fastboot
extract the boot.img from the cm10.zip
and fastboot flash boot boot.img
then your done reboot and enjoy.... (anything else read threw the forum, all your answers have been asked by somebody else already)

On rogers he won't have the 1.14 hboot, which means all he has to do is install the rom.
Try flashing the recovery again (TWRP ONLY!)
And then reinstall CM10

That might be your problem. CWM isn't supported for this phone and has been known to corrupt data.
Links for all the files you need are in a sticky in the Development forum. Here's the link for TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
Once you've got that, you can wipe your phone inside TWRP (don't do it in bootloader--you'll have to reformat your sd card), and reflash CM10.

That link requires me to use that GOO manager? Confused lol i have TWRP on my computer but not sure the steps to use it ..

You can't use Goomanager if the phone doesn't boot. You need to push it over to your phone using adb, then you can flash it from recovery.

Read up, get adb working. Then you can install TWRP using adb.

So first i need to get adb working , then install TWRP to wipe my phone? To access that i flash TWRP and go into recovery right ?
EDIT: So .. i've downloaded that adb , and i got a bunch of files.. what do i do with this? I put them into my fastboot folder in my C drive.. Also i need to unlock my phone to do this right ? Cause i accidently relocked it .
EDIT: OKAY i rooted my phone , and got into TWRP , tried a factory rest under the wipe menu. http://i48.tinypic.com/13yklep.jpg It says fails.. what do i do ?

Go to mount usb storage (not sure which screen its on) while it's plugged into your computer
If windows says the card is corrupted, format it fat32, then copy over a rom onto your sd card

1. The boot.img should be taken from the zip of the rom you're installing.
2. The command is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img.
So, start again, extract the boot.img from the rom zip, format all partitions apart from sdcard in recovery, install the zip in recovery, reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img. Then reboot.

and also my phone is S-ON

Well, I'm a little stuck. Help?

Okay, so I decided to do something stupid and forget to backup my HTC One S while rooting. I installed CM10, and it got stuck in a bootloop, so stupid me decided to also do a factory reset and basically delete everything I needed to get out of it. I've tried numerous things, including ADB sideloading a ROM, but whenever I do that, it also gets stuck in a boot loop. I have no idea how to use RUU's, and if anybody could help me to fix my phone, that'd be really really helpful. I'm also kindof a n00b towards this stuff, so step-by-step instructions would be much appriciated Thanks.

Is your device S-off and do you have supercid?
Then I believe you can just use any RUU file for your phone to get it back to stock.
A Ruu is basically a file that installs the stock ROM onto your device.
Find the Ruu you need here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414
Just download it, connect your phone with a USB and run the Ruu file ( it's an .exe ) on your PC.
I hope this helps. Don't just listen to my advice. I'd wait till someone confirms my advice to be safe/correct. I'm still a bit of a noob after all who's trying to help and learn.

I think my device is s-off...i used the HTC One S all in one toolkit, and I have no idea what supercid is :s I've tried a couple RUU's before (don't know if i used them correctly, but i did relock the bootloader when i did it) but none of them helped. It just stayed at a black screen with "htc" in the middle. No error triangles or anything.

Did you run the RUU files like you would run an .exe file on your pc with your phone connected by USB?
I'm not sure how your PC will recognize your phone when you're not in fastboot (bootloader).. Or am I misunderstanding something.
Wait. Can you get into your recovery? Do you still have that installed?

Yeah, the RUU's were .exe's with my phone connected through USB. I can get into recovery, I have CWM installed.

I'm not sure if CWM has this option, but maybe you can mount your phone through recovery.
Then just place a new ROM on your SD card and flash it.

Well thats what I've been trying to do with the ADB sideloading, because it wont let me mount my sd card. It just says 'ERROR MOUNTING SD CARD" and when I've tryed flashing a new ROM from ADB sideloading, it just gets stuck in a bootloop again.

My best bet is to run the RUU file.
To know which one is the correct one is to see which RUU title fits your phone's Stock 'settings' the best (ie: provider, country, android version)

Oh and this thread should be moved to the Q&A forum I just realized

I've tried running multiple RUU files, and I have no idea what one to use. The phone when I got it was unlocked, and the android version was ICS I'm pretty sure.
I dunno how to find my stock settings because I cant get past the loading screen.

Did you try flashing the boot.IMG from adb. It sounds to me, that since every ROM you try results in a bootloop that you did not flash the boot.IMG

You failed to follow the instructions to install the rom. That is why you phone wouldn't boot.
Download or build from source
Download gapps
wipe unless you're upgrading from an earlier CM10 ROM
flash rom in recovery
flash gapps in recovery
unless you have s-off fastboot flash boot boot.img

Take your CM10 Rom and open it up. Inside you'll find a file called boot.img. Copy that file to the location where you installed the toolkit. Place it in the data folder there. Then open the toolkit and press the "flash a kernel" button. Just follow the instructions to flash the file.
You phone should now be fixed just reboot it.
Next time, make sure you read the instructions and if you aren't sure what's going don't move forward. Or use the search button. Finally, questions like this one go in the Q&A forum. :good:

Thanks, I'll try that and see how it goes. I totally forgot to do a backup, and I now know that I should do one...and sorry, I'm kinda new to the forum and went here as a last resort.

It not really a big deal. Your problem is the most common one we see in Q&A. Also, once you finish flashing the boot.img keep in mind that CM10 can take a few minutes to boot the first time.
Also, just a heads up while the toolkits are helpful learning the command yourself actually lets do you a lot more things a lot faster.

heres how to do it using fastboot:

Thanks for the quick responses guys, I'm going to try that once I get home. Do I absolutely need USB debugging enabled? Because mine Isn't :s

Nope, just gotta do it one of the three ways mentioned. If debugging isn't enabled use option 1.
This can either be done via
1 powering off and keeping volume up & the power-button pressed
2 the extended power-menu (If your ROM has it, just select "reboot" & then "bootloader")
3 via adb, connect your phone with the pc, make sure it says "USB debugging connected", go to Android/platform-tools/ & then press shift while you perform a right click with the mouse, then choose "open prompt here", type
