[Q] HELP: "Device not found" - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I am using Hasoon2000's All-in-One Toolkit to root my HOX. It's worked every time but this time.
Here is my story...
I've been trying to flash the ViperX 2.6 ROM for a couple hours now.
Each time I have gotten stuck in a Bootloop.
Through TWRP, I've wiped the cache/delvik(still didn't fix the problem).
I decided to go ahead and run my device's RUU.(relocked the Bootloader, and ran)
Well now, I try and run his toolkit to root again and the cmd prompt say "device not found".
When I go into the fastboot folder and select the cmd prompt from there and type "fastboot devices", it's able to recognize my device...
Any ideas as to what's going on?
Maybe his toolkit is not working properly...?
BTW, this is my first Android phone. EVER.

ViperX 2.6 is an international ROM.. ViperXL for our phone is 2.1.2
You better be thankful you didn't flash ice cold jelly or you'd have s nice paper weight. Unlock your bootloader and flash twrp again

Well, first off, there is no version 2.6 of Viper ROM for the HTC One XL, which is our phone. It sounds to me that you have downloaded an international One X ROM. Which, could be bad for you. If the ROM flashed successfully, you've overwritten the boot partition, due in part to how the One X ROMs are flashed. If it wasn't flashed successfully, you may still be in luck.
Now. You say you are stuck in bootloop? If so, do these steps (Feel free to correct me anyone)
- Reboot your phone into bootloader
- Re-Unlock your bootloader
- Reflash TWRP (Custom recovery)
- Boot into recovery and wipe everything (Except phone storage)
- Flash a ROM for the ONE XL. NOT The International ROM
Hopefully you aren't bricked.

Oh right. Must have missed that not paying full enough attention. Good. Do what I said above. Try running one of the kits in the One XL forum. What bootloader are you on?

Clean Rom question for Rogers

Hey guys,
Just wondering if I install clean rom on my rogers phone if I will have all the AT&T branding? If so is there any way to remove it?
Also I have rooted and flashed my phone with cwm. How do I got about flashing roms? On my captivate I booted into recovery mode and selected install from sd card. Is there a way similar to that for this device or do I have to use the cmd promt?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
You can use clean ROM I'm pretty sure it's de branded, but I'm pretty sure you will need to get a superCID first. There's a one click method in development. As for flashing yes it is the same, but I would recommend you use TWRP in the place of CWM. You can find a flashable zip in the development section as well. Just flash TWRP through CWM and your all set. Would link the topics for you but I'm at work. Just head over to dev section it's all there. Also if you want a Rogers based ROM I'm using king cobra 1.2 and I like it. Happy hunting.

No reason to change a Rogers phone to superCID. Just flash the rom of your choice in recovery.

back in the early days of he HOX ( a whopping month ago) you had to flash a BASE before you could flash a rom. It has since been discovered we can flash kernels and boot.img in the ROM without a problem.

By chance does anyone know how to multitask on the cobra rom? I've hit the multitask button on the phone but apps don't display like they used to?
Wait just so I can get something cleared. I just bought a stock rogers phone I should...
1. Unlock bootloader via HTC Dev
2. Root
3.supercid?????
4. Relock my bootloader and flash 1.85
5. unlock boot loader and flash cwm?
6. Flash rom of choice and profit
I'd like some clarification too
I'm in the same boat. I have a Rogers 1X currently on 1.73
I have rooted the phone and supercid. But I'm curious as to how should I proceed.
What are my next steps?
1. Unlock bootloader via one-click method
2. flash cwm
3. Flash latest cleanroom?
Any help is appreciated
I have Rogers HTC One X on 1.73. I thought it was:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Root
3. Get CWM Recovery
4. Copy Cleanrom ZIP to SD Card
5. Follow instructions on the CleanROM thread.
What is this SuperCID and relocating boo loader stuff about?
Those of us lucky enough to be AT&T customers have to trick HTC into letting us unlock our bootloaders. Supercid lets us do that. If you have a Rogers phone you don't have to worry about Supercid.

supercid is a good safeguard for us since the rogers ruu is a POS. it allows us to be able to ruu an att ruu if something goes horribly wrong.

TWRP is an alternate recovery that is actually supported on our devices.
So you guys all recommend twrp? And I don't have to root first, I can just unlock the boot loader and proceed with the steps listed above? Also I plan on installing clean Rom 4.0 is there anything else I would have to do? Thanks for all the help.

i recommend TWRP because it's officially supported and it's easy to use.
After you unlock the bootloader you can flash a recovery. being rooted doesn't matter since your going to flash a pre rooted rom right away anyways.

[Q] HTC One X Not booting in to clockworkmod recovery

i had 5.8.2.7 and i flashed to 5.8.4.0 and now when i try to boot into recovery it just sits at the HTC screen for a while and then reboots
Use twrp instead. Clockwork isn't officially supported on our phone. Twrp is.
That or just fast boot into recovery. Is that way not working either?

The only way I've had any success getting into Recovery with CWM is to go into Rom Manager and boot into recovery from there.

I had exactly the same problem, the only thing that ended up working for me was installing Goomanager and doing it from there.
Menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript. This will install TWRP, and worked a treat for me.
I've noticed that when you first do the fastboot flash recovery that when you adb reboot into recovery, or even manually boot into recovery, it won't boot into it the first time. It will after you try again though. This has happened on 3 One X's so I know it's not a single phone specific thing.
Use TWRP, but don't be lazy and do it from the app, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as reliable as my trusty adb commands. If you need help on what commands, PM me. Only three I used, without a hitch.
I used goomanager to install TWRP and it worked just fine.

Flashing a recovery from fastboot is not being lazy. There's actually more work involved than installing from an app. I think you have it the other way around.

Are both recoveries able to install the same roms? or are some roms only able to be installed through CWM or TWRP?
i'm assuming they both install the same way, so all roms should work regardless. It's just that rom threads say "install using clockwork", but i guess that's just a common phrase now..

yeah install using clockwork is common language for use recovery, since cwm is the more well known one.
Just as an opinion, TWRP looks better to me, because its not all just clicks and such, TWRP you slide to confirm, you can flash multiple .zips one after the other (Useful for AOSP roms where you need GAPPS, and if you change the kernel like I do) etc.
Also, as stated before, its an official recovery on our devices, so we get full support should bugs arise.

The previous response asked a question that may help us determine what the problem is, but you didn't answer it.
I'm wondering the same. You said you tried to install "a few" recoveries. Where did you try to install them from?
In particular, some people are trying to install CWM for the wrong device (Tegra3 quad core) onto our version of the phone (Snapdragon S4 dual core) and messing up their phones.
I was on the onxroot web site and got it from there yeah I just checks I was flashing the qual core version of cwm and twrp I just flash twrp 2.18 or 17 I'm note sure and is working now but I'm not sure because I've see there is a beer version 2.20 I think but I try to flash it and it would not stay I would have to flash it every time I boot up
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Don't flash things from random websites. Stick to the development subforum for our device. Also sounds like you may need to slow down, and do more research, before flashing anything more. People have been warned so many times against flashing things meant for the quad core One X, using CWM on our device, etc.
Not sure how to fix flashing the wrong recovery. Maybe somebody has some a suggestion.
My only idea would be to relock the bootloader and run the RUU. But not sure if that can somehow do more harm than good.
Just flash a proper recovery from hboot, then fastboot boot "nameofrecovery".img
I flash the right one already but it's a old version but when I try to flash the update twrp recovery it won't stick I have not done no harm to my phone it still works ims still using it

You may have actually done harm to the phone, since the partitioning on the Tega3 and Snapdragon versions of the phone is different. You're lucky you can boot at all after flashing the wrong recovery.
I had done a back up with the twrp recovery and once I try to boot up it would not load but like I said I have the correct twrp but all o need to know is can I flash the update one or what is the latest twrp version for my att HTC one x

I can't quite follow what state your phone is in at this point, but if you have a bootable, rooted system try installing GooManager (linked at the site I posted) and run the Install OpenRecovery Script option. Otherwise, download the boot.img and install it through fastboot. Instructions are on the site I linked.

Help! Brick?

Just got the HTC One S( HTC branded S4 edition). I unlocked the boot loader, rooted , flash a recovery , and then installed CM10. Everything went well until the final install , when the Cyanogen Boot was stuck. I have no idea what I did afterwards, but now the SD is unmounted. It doesn't boot up to HTC stock , the HTC developer pages just open and stays on .. I could fastboot. I backed up everything, but somehow everything got deleted.
What to do? I need help!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Sounds to me like you forgot to flash the kernel, then did something else wrong afterwards in the attempt to fix. I have the S3 version, but I had a similar problem with the ROM getting stuck, then my recovery was unable to mount the SD. There are 2 options, one is to use fastboot to re-lock your device, and flash the latest RUU for your CID, or you can adb sideload a ROM if you are using TWRP. I would probably go for the RUU anyway because it is the easiest. Just go into the bootloader, choose 'fastboot', use the command to re-lock the bootloader (I just use the All-In-One Tool) and then run the RUU when the phone is in fastboot mode, the phone will then be good as new (except for the Tampered warning in bootloader, but that can be remedied with the S4 version)
This happened to me just flash TWRP wipe everything and get another ROM on there

Sounds to me like you forgot to flash the kernel, then did something else wrong afterwards in the attempt to fix. I have the S3 version, but I had a similar problem with the ROM getting stuck, then my recovery was unable to mount the SD. There are 2 options, one is to use fastboot to re-lock your device, and flash the latest RUU for your CID, or you can adb sideload a ROM if you are using TWRP. I would probably go for the RUU anyway because it is the easiest. Just go into the bootloader, choose 'fastboot', use the command to re-lock the bootloader (I just use the All-In-One Tool) and then run the RUU when the phone is in fastboot mode, the phone will then be good as new (except for the Tampered warning in bootloader, but that can be remedied with the S4 version)

Thanks to all, especially to member Ami007. Im back and running again. I relocked the bootloader using fastboot, downloaded the correct RUU file that corresponds to my phone, and run the program.. Kudos to all!!!

Root & Mod AT&T HTC One X

Can't find what I need to root and install custom mods on my HTC One X.
I have already unlocked the bootloader and have tryed to install a custom recovery but all that did was make my device say **Tampered**.
Any help would be great.

So when you go into your bootloader their is no recovery option? What recovery did you try to install? If your on PC you can use this tool, but before you do anything you should maybe read this big huge awesome helpful sticky.

There is a recovery option but when I go into it a HTC screen appears that says "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action." I think I used the wronf version of CWM.

That screen is supposed to appear once you've installed a custom recovery. But then it should go into recovery. If its hanging on that screen, then yes there is a problem.
You haven't provided nearly enough info. What firmware version were you on before you unlocked the bootloader (2.20, 3.18, etc.)? What method did you use to unlock the bootloader? How did you try to install recovery? Post links to what you used, so we can see if they were the right versions.

1. I'm on 2.20.
2. I used an All-In-One-Toolkit.To be honest I don't know if I used the right one.
3. Tryed to install it throught the toolkit. I don't know it it actually installed or not.
What is this **Tampered** thing on the bootloader as well? It didn't show until after I tryed to install a recovery.

If you're not even sure you used the right one, are you sure you really wanna be doing this? I mean, you're doing things to your phone that can really screw it up (brick it) if you don't know what you're doing. Do you know how to use fastboot?

Yea I want to do it. I know how to use fastboot but this is kinda new to me. All the other android phones didn't require so many steps.
TL;DR - I just want to root my HTC and install recovery/customs roms.
All phones are different. Just because you rooted others before doesnt mean they'll all be the same.
Download twrp 2.3.3.1 and flash it then wipe cache with fastboot then select recovery and flash a Rom.
Before rooting a new phone, you should always read the stickies or at least the faq to find out any quirks or steps that need to be taken to achieve what you want.
I've rooted a Sony Xperia, an evo 3d and this one xl. They were all different.

When I try to flash a recovery this is what I get.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
C:\One_X_ATT_All-In-One_Kit_v3.0\data>
Using the HTC One X Toolkit.
Edit: Flashed the TWRP 2.3.1.1 through fastboot in cmd. Now it's just hanging at the HTC splash. Should I keep waiting?
Have you tried to boot into an OS or into recovery?

Also remember with CM10 or other AOSP roms you will need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. And before you do that you have to supersu and s-off. To be honest I went through all this over the past two days, and when i got to the stage your at (rooted, unlocked, custom recovery) I went with RageXL (a sense rom) and got my phone to a stable state, crossed my fingers and did the super-su by hand, then s-off. It was much easier and less stressful once I had a stable and working phone again.

Agreed. OP shouldn't be doing anything to the phone they are not completely sure of. Failure to follow this bit of advice can turn your phone a very expensive paperweight.
Also, be aware that with S-on, you need to extract boot.img and flash from fastboot every time you flash a ROM. Failure to do this is a very common cause for being stuck on the boot (HTC logo) screen after flashing a ROM.
I was able to flash a rom through Recovery. I flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328822. Think I will stick with it for awhile. Any other ROMS compatible with 2.20?

all, but if you're s-on you need to fastboot flash boot boot.img whereby boot.img is extracted from the rom you're flashing.
Yes. I meant to say that I had used fastboot to flash this rom. Satisfied now. Think I this is all I will need for now.
Thanks for the help everyone. Much appreciated.
