Attempting to Flash to CM10 jbean

I have no attempted to root a phone since the OG droid...
Anyways, I went ahead and went thru Hasoon2000's HTC Sensation 4G all-In-One Kit.
Loaded the CM10 zip file and the GAPPS to the root of my SD Card.
Loaded into Team Win Recovery v2.2.0
Wiped all
Installed the cm-10-20120818-bruce2728-pyramid.zip
rebooted and im stuck at the splash screen for CM10.
I have attempted to reinstal and reboot multiple times with no luck, i am at a loss.
Thank you.

more info:
My phone is not S-off (i understand that you can still root this way)
I have also tried with 4EXT....
Getting same result.
I have a feeling its the lack of S-off that i am missing a step of some sort.

Many people who have tried with out being s off have had problems try doing it and see if it works I am s off and have not had an issue flashing also make sure your on 3.33 or 3.32 fw

I think you are S-ON so kindly read the guide about flashing ROM's with S-ON

You need to extract the boot.IMG from the rom and copy it to the same folder that has your fastboot driver and close it then you need boot your device into bootloader and connect the USB cable and then hit the power button you should now be in fast boot next on your pc open cmd and type your commands for example cd c:\rootevo3dnew press enter and I would type fastboot flash boot boot.IMG now press enter this will flash your boot.IMG and last but Knott least you will type fastboot reboot press enter and watch the magic enjoy oh buy the way your s on so this is why it want boot so this is how its done when your s on and also once you get it booted you should really think about flashing 4ext custom recovery and enable smart flash its designed for those that are s on good luck

{HELP} - This build is for development purposes only - loop

Dear All
I need some help
Got a new HTC One XL today (UK, Everything Everywhere)
Unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev

I can sometimes get to the bootloader but the PC does not recognise the phone when it goes into bootloader
When i choose recovery it boots back to the splash screen with "This build is for development purposes only ...." again
I am lost for things to do now and desperately some help

Ok, I've also tried to flash the twrp .img file using the command
fastboot flash recovery ****.img
this did nothing as well
when I choose the recovery option from the bootloader menu it goes immediately to the white htc screen with the "this build is for ...." stuff
Any ideas ?

Is the phone an evita or endevour? (quad core or dual core). If it is an evita, you may have a little bigger problem due to that endeavor cwm flash.

Any ideas as to how I would get past this ? it seems to be in some sort of bootloop or bootcrash

You flashed the cwm recovery for the endeavor quad-core...........
Download this twrp recovery,

Stick it in your adb/fastboot folder
Boot phone into your bootloader, make sure it says fastboot USB
From cmd prompt type
fastboot devices
Make sure it device serial# shows up
Now type-
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Should get-
Sending
Writing

Thank you so much for that - I now have TWRP working and its great
I still have a problem that the phone will not boot past the HTC screen that has the "this build is for development purposes..."
It reboots and reboots but never goes past this screen
Do I need a ROM as well ?

Yes.. You need a rom.
Dl it on your pc, boot into twrp and mount the sd to transfer it.

qwertyaas
Very much appreciate your responses
ok, I have moved the cm10 evita jellybean ROM over and flashed it - all seemed to go successfully
Used TWRP to factory reset beforehand
Used TWRP to turn the phone off
Pressed the phone button to turn the phone on
Phones boots immediately to white HTC splash screen with the "this build is for development purposes..." and reboots after about 10 seconds, and reboots and reboots
Never gets past this point
Any ideas ?

Your probably on hboot 1.14, so....the cm10 Rom.zip, on your pc, unzip it and you will see a boot.img, put the boot.img in your adb fastboot folder, boot phone into bootloader....cmd prompt type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Do it a second time for good measure, then type
fastboot reboot
Should be good

[Q] Soft Brick. Unable to load via USB (unable to open umslunfile)

I'm unable to connect via USB to my AT&T HTC One S.
It loops through CWM Bootloader.
I can get the HBOOT to come up but I can't factory reset. It does nothing.
How am I supposed to reset CWM or copy any files to flash the device?
Even the RUU flash doesn't work because it can't connect via USB.
When I try to mount the USB it gives me the unable to open ums lunfile error.
also I can't seem to mount the SD card either. This is awesome.
I've read around and tried other solutions but all of them seem to fail at the point where I need to be able to connect the device via USB.
What can I do?

Hah, knew u were using cwm. Never use cwm for this phone, flash twrp and you should be ok flash twrp 2.3.3.1 http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/evita/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-evita.img
You also mean att htc one x?

This is a problem as I don't know how I'm supposed to flash to twrp?
I use the All in One kit but if it's in CWM it doesn't do anything asnd if it's in the white screen Hboot (bootloader?) it doesn't see the device and nothing happens.

1 - reboot into fastboot mode (when it is powering on, you'll need to hold volume down until the bootloader screen pops up)
2 - connect it to your pc (you'll need the latest drivers and if you have windows 8 - there is some chicanery involved, search xda for help)
3 - if it says "fastboot usb" on the device you are ready to rumble
4 - in the adb/fastboot folder run the following command (replace twrp.img with whatever the name of the recovery is) -> fastboot flash recovery
twrp.img
5 - you should be able to boot into recovery now (navigate with the volume up/down and select with the power button

Is it a one s or a one x because you typed one s

Can't get into TWRP recovery from bootloader

so after following the instrucions down below, I can't access TWRP recovery. Everytime I go to the recovery from bootloader, it will restart the phone automatically. I made a backup before doing this, but now i can't even get into recovery mode from boot loader
Installing recovery using fastboot
You can use fastboot to install your recovery image to the device.
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the One (Sprint)
Download koush's ClockworkMod Recovery.
koush's ClockworkMod Recovery: download
md5: 8e1001f45ad07d4cda03b813739f85c1
Connect the One (Sprint) to the computer via USB.
Make sure the fastboot binary is in your PATH or that you place the downloaded image in the same directory as fastboot.
Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing adb reboot bootloader or by using the hardware key combination.
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery onto your device by entering the following command: fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img where the latter part is the name of the file you downloaded.
Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation.
Note: Some ROMs overwrite recovery at boot time so if you do not plan to immediately boot into recovery to install CyanogenMod, please be aware that this may overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one.

why are you follwing a guide for the one if you have a onexl evita?

Bootloop (S-ON/No Recovery) :(

Hello,
I have a big problem with my old HTC Sensation.
I tried nearly everything out of other topics, but nothing worked....
The story: Suddenly my Sensation rebooted and from then on it is stuck in an endless bootloop.
The bad thing is, that it was stock/S-ON at this moment.
Informations about the phone:
***UNLOCKED***
Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT: 1.27.0000
Radio: 11.24A.3504.31_M
-> I am able to install RUUs (3.33), but after installation i am still in the bootloop
-> I am able to unlock/relock the bootloader
-> I can install a recovery via fastboot, but can't boot into it => bootloop
Maybe you have got a hint to bring the Sensation back to life.
Thank you!

Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can use fastboot to do stuff. Most of the HTC Sensations have a HBOOT version that causes bootloops when flashing roms because their kernel doesn't seem to install properly when flashing roms. The ROM should consist of a file inside the zip, usualy in the kernel folder or in the root of the zip that is called boot.img. That is the kernel. First of all, you need to download the tools that have the fastboot and drivers included. Then unzip all of the contents into a folder. Run and install the drivers that that have come in the folder. Then go into the fastboot and adb folder. Shift rightclick onto the empty space of the folder and click open command window here. Then boot your phone into bootloader mode. You can do this using power button and volume down while your phone is off. Once youre in fastboot mode, navigate to fastboot using up and down volume keys. Then press the power button. Plug in your phone to your computer using your HTC sync cable. Then in the adb and fastboot folder, copy your roms boot.img into the folder. Then in the command window, type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' without the quotation marks. It should say sending and then writing. The process should take no longer than 20 seconds. Once done, restart your phone. Wolla, your rom should now be working properly!

actually he can't even boot to the recovery in order to flash any rom
so what's the point of flashing the boot.img manually?

You can use Sensation all in one kit v3 to unlock boot loader, read this thread for more detail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404
after unlocking boot loader, then go to this thread to download 4EXT recovery then use kit to flash recovery, remember to download image file, not zip file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
boot to recovery, then enable smart flash and flash any cook ROM you want. Remenber to wipe everything after having enable smart flash then flash cook ROM
good luck

actually first has to wipe and then enable smartflash

Thank you for your ideas!
But unfortunattly i tried most of the things.
@ kevinspl2000
I think normaly the RUU would also install the Boot Image.
But I also tried to manualy flash the boot.img out of the RUU via fastboot, but no success.
I am not able to flash a Custom ROM, because of no Recovery...
@stripeqn
The point is that I am not able to boot to Recovery...
I can flash the Recovery via fastboot, but I am not able to boot into it.
I tried different versions of CWMR and 4EXT but no success...
When I click on recovery, it just shows the HTC Logo and bootloop again

I think I have a solution. When I installed my custom recovery at first, I also got bootloops when trying to go into the recovery. What I did, is I refalshed the recovery, and then did fastboot erase cache. It wipes all of the cache, and fixed my bootloop before. Try that and see how we get on...
