[Q] 2.20 Unlocked, bootloop after unable to flash + attempt to restore - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Okay, so I used the xfactor bootloader unlock and flashed TWRP. I got into my stock, installed SuperSU and everything was dandy. I wiped system, flashed AOKP and then flashed the AOKP boot image through the fastboot boot.img. I rebooted and no luck, I got stuck on the 'initializing swagger' page. Bummer. I then went and wiped, and then tried to flash the recent CM10, perhaps not a good idea, anyway I got onto the cm10 boot screen but that stayed that way too. So I went back and restored, after wiping system and cache, from the nandroid backup I made. When I boot into it now it shows me the splash screen, then shuts down and starts back up again. Anyway, for the life of me I can't figure out what to do, I have even more problems because I'm on a mac. I have VMware on my computer though I don't have the android-sdk on there. So what do you folks suggest I do?
Okay, your help is very much appreciated.

Reading directions correctly is key.
first flashboot boot.img, THEN go into recovery and flash the rom.

Go to the android dev or general forum and look around, there are a few splash tuts. I'd look for you but I'm currently trying to look around for my problem.

Okay went back, flashed boot.img for cm10 and then installed cm10 and gapps, I'm stuck on the "quietly brilliant" splash screen.

Did you wipe your caches?

When? I did before flashing boot.img. I don't think I cleared dalvik though.
Regardless, did a system reset and then flashed boot and installed cm10 and gapps and I'm once again on the htc splash screen.

Honestly though, I just really need to figure out how to get back to something usable... since restore from nandroid is also giving me a splash, what should I do?

Go into recovery and wipe all caches, then reboot. You may end up having a corruption somewhere in which case you'll need to find your device specific RUU and run it.

Looks like it, I'm once again in a boot loop. Anyway to run an RUU through mac without virtualizing? Will I need drivers or anything if I do it with the virtual machine?

Once again... This is why I don't like anything apple... You might find a file converter that's able to convert .exe to .dmg. I haven't used or worked with VM so I wouldn't know how to work that.
Download.com
Search there and you should be able to find a converter.

Actually I have tried to run RUU through wine in the past with no success I was able to start the .exe but it did not flash I was able to extract radios, etc though. I haven't updated Wine a while so it might be worth a try ?
Another "free" option is to vm with virtual box http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html and install Windows.

What about extracting the zip from the RUU? if you get get that zip out, you can do all of it from fastboot.

I thought that was if you modify it? because all the RUU does is copy that zip to the phone
worth a try.. worst that can happen is it will reject the flash

I'm actually going todo this and then write up a guide how to RUU on linux/mac w/o virtualizing windows

Flashing the Rom.zip, or running the ruu.exe will always produce the same results, they go thru the exact same process. Flashing the Rom.zip just let's you see what's happening in a little more detail..........while flashing the Rom.zip, if you open a 2nd cmd prompt and send a random fastboot command, you can then see full detail, of EXACTLY what's happening.

Okay, I used VMware and ran the RUU, I got the HTC screen but it never gave the progress bar and ended up doing absolutely nothing, I still have the same recovery and everything. So I'm trying to extract the RUU installer, with WinRAR but it's saying there's no archive, how should I do this? I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of windows.

download htc sync on your virtual machine and do it again
or.. when you run the RUU..
go to start and type %temp% and then search for rom.zip
and drag that to your desktop
you gotta do it while the RUU is open, and before it closes

Bricked Htc One S, stuck in bootloader and Clockwork recovery

Hi everyone,
i am so very new to this. here it goes. I tried to root my HTC One S and install cm9. well the root worked. I installed the cm9 rom. that looked like it worked too. so i went to turn the phone on and it booted up ok, showed the cm9 boot up animation, then the screen went completly white and stayed like that. well i booted up into clockworkmod recovery, did a factory reset (i also did a factory reset/clear storage in bootloader), and accidentally erased everything, i think. stock rom, cm9 everything. now i can only get the phone to boot up into the bootloader or clockworkmod recovery. so i think its bricked. it tried to install the tmobile ruu and that failed. idk what to do, im really nervous i wont be able to get my phone back. cwmr also says it cant mount sd card..when i plugged the phone in to the computer, devices menu says android and sometimes it says ville. If someone is able to give me step by step instructions on how to fix this, i would greatly appreciate it because i am freaking out. I have seen the term flash around the forums idk what that means or how to do it. i also tried forcing a new rom thru adb and that didnt work. i really dont know what to do at this point. I would greatly appreciate it, if someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Frank
My guess would be: flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then get a RUU and install it. (and you probably just had the white screen because u didn´t flash boot.img).

try to relock your bootloader with the all in one toolkit and after that, while your phone is in fastboot usb mode with the bootloader reloked, install the offial ruu for your phone. Try to find the download of the original ruu, it is an exe file, when you run it the phone must be connected in fastboot usb, if everything goes fine the phone should be back to stock.
Ok I will try tonight. Hopefully it works.

help with ext4 recovery!

Hi all, I have an s-on unlocked htc sensation. Last night I went to bed and woke up to a phone that was dead (forgot to plug in) so I charged it a little bit and then turned it on..only to find that it just stays at the white HTC screen. I then went into recovery and tried to reinstall a clockwork mod recovery(which has worked plenty of times) but this time it said "the folder does not contain any zip files, so I thought, Oh well time to do a fresh install anyway, so I went into the 4ext recovery/wiped everything, then turned on the smart ext..ran super wipe, then installed the elegancia 4.0 2.7, everything went fine...until it finished, EXT4 recovery then says something like creating backup..blah blah blah..then says backup failedthere was an error processing the command (not the exact terminology)..so then i let it restart and again it is stuck at the white htc screen. I then reboot into recovery again, and it says smart 4ext has been disabled, go to tools etc to re-enable..report your error blah blah blah..I just dont get it, i have done this many times, but I am clueless on why it wont boot..i have the latest files etc too 1.27.00 bootloader as well, I am unable to do anything with adb right now..I am at work, but really need a phone today..can someone help possibly?..Thanks a million....Larry

Not possible as you would be using the kernel when you are booting the phone (just like how formatting c drive (where windows is normally installed) is not possible when using windows)

It'll be easier to help if you can provide exact errors you are getting and exactly what you did. Try installing an AOSP ROM and let us know the error you are getting. I've never used smart EXT so maybe let it be disabled and try.

[Q] I hope I didn't brick my phone

I'm new to android and really hope I didn't pooch my phone.
I tried installing Jelly Bean and now can't do much of anything. I can get into bootloader and load up team windows recovery (not sure what to do in there)
When I am in fastboot and try through a command prompt adb devices doesn't list the HTC One X (Rogers, Canada)
I really am not sure what to do. I have downloaded a ton of stuff nothing seems to make a difference (HTC drivers, img and zip files..) I think it boils down to getting some direction on what troubleshooting to do with the exact files I would need to use.
flash a rom in recovery ofcourse.
adb doesnt work in hboot only fastboot. your phone is fine. you need to copy the rom zips to your sdcard. then go to install inside recovery. you can mount your sdcard inside recovery also so you can copy stuff. you should still be able to reboot the system normal and have it boot fine. unlocking and flashing recovery doesnt wipe your phone.

[Q] Fresh Start

Hi all, I just wanted to start by saying that xda is the shizz and has helped me through thick n thin. Anywho, I have a custom Rom and am trying to go to a different Rom. ViperX to be specific. I've tried before, but with little success. Extracted boot.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img in the command, put the Rom on my sd and installed via TWRP. Problem is, is that it never boots, only the HTC boot screen with the red writing. Anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do? I'm still S-on, but from what I understand, that doesn't matter if you fastboot the boot.img via command prompt. I also have Hboot 1.14.
Thanks.

Because you are S-ON with hboot 1.14 you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS need to fastboot flash boot boot.img from the rom you are flashing.
That being said, Sounds like you are on TWRP 2.4.x please confirm.
If so, fastboot flash twrp 2.3.x.x
then fastboot erase cache
then wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset
Install rom and fastboot flash boot boot.img
Keep me posted.

Now apparently after I flashed the Rom I got (odex-JB-Sense4+.zip), It's saying my phone is an XL. Seems to me I have a whole new set of issues. Did I flash the wrong Rom? I though I did enough research to find a compatible Rom. How do I find out for sure what's going on with my phone and how to fix it properly?

No problem you have the correct ROM, if you had flashed wrong one it would have not worked correctly. Depending on the ROM sometimes it will show XL instead of X.
One xl is the proper model name, code named Evita, not to be confused with the real HTC One X international quad core version.
So in other words, nothing is wrong. This is normal. If you flashed the wrong rom you would know as you would now have a paperweight

ok cool, I was kinda confused there for a sec lol. Ok, now for the TWRP. I'm assuming you were referring to 2.3.0.0? just because there is a 2.3.0.0, 2.3.1.0, 2.3.3.0, and a 2.3.3.1. I just want to make sure I have the correct one for Hboot 1.14
Doesn't matter which one. I use 2.3.3.1 myself.

Because you are S-ON with hboot 1.14 you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS need to fastboot flash boot boot.img from the rom you are flashing.

Except for ViperXL (and old builds of CleanROM, which may also happen with future builds if/when scrosler gets AROMA back in there) which is intended to flash the boot.img in AROMA.
Although, it doesn't always work for some folks, so they have had to flash boot.img manually. So yes, if at all in doubt (and you have a boot loop) flash boot.img manually.

[Q] Fubar'd trying to load CM11

Trying to load CM11 M1 and now in a boot loop. Haven't been able to copy the new image over yet. Unable to get into recovery mode, just the stock 'four circles' spinning. Can anyone help? Thanks
Can you get to Fastboot?

Not fubar yet buddy. Get into fastboot and proceed from there. A quick search should provide ample answers. Give me 5 and I'll write you a step by step if need be.
On my phone. Limited with links and all.

Same things been happening to me all day trying to get it to load but it is always stuck on a loop on the load screen.
To get out from it ive been disconnecting from computer and holding power off, the cyanogenmod will auto start FOR SOME REASON but just keep powering off till its dead then start up recovery wipe cache/data etc and restore your backup.
There's another thread on this same issue
Edit, links all wonky

Much obliged. I can get into CWM recovery now, just not sure next steps since I don't have a image on the sdcard yet...

That link works, thanks. Don't know why I didn't see it in my search. Following steps....
argh, driver issue now. Installed the updated USB drivers from the SDK but when I'm in CWM recovery mode I had a banged out device. Had to install the naked drivers... Boy, this is fun. :silly:
Tried every build available aswell tried both manual root/Su and CF Auto root but no combination will it load, will also do a system restore on my main rig after messing around with all the random driver installations.
Try it on a spare laptop, you never know, might get lucky.
I did notice on the log file in CWM after installation there are 2 file that cannot be installed, I do not know if that has anything to do with it or not, looks like some sort of addon folder that cant be located. Only other thing I can think of is using a more stable version of CWM.
Try twrp and see if you have the same issues. http://d-h.st/YpG. Just flash it in cwm.
If all else fails, flash a factory system image and then format /data and the cache partitions.
This will get your device working while you learn more about how to flash it, and recover it if necessary.

You flash the stock image, try extract the files and execute the flash-all batch file.
