I've got an HTC One X that unfortunately has not survived several attempts to tinker with it (screen replacement didn't go as planned). I'd like to attempt to repurpose it. It boots, I can access it via adb. I was hoping that I'd be able to use something like my hdmi out dongle to get some kind of output, but for some reason, it's not working (can't remember if I need to enable it in the software or not). Wondering if there's a way I can either flash some software to the phone, access it via abd to get hdmi working, or some other solution that I haven't thought of. It's currently running some version of CleanRom (can't remember which at the moment) and I can get a screen cast (albeit laggy) from a java app I found floating around the internet.
Any suggestions from the smart folks here?

This is a pretty good solution. At this point I think I'm just looking to figure out a way to flash a rom that would give me HDMI out by default. I used to be able to flash things via Odin, but that was with my samsung phones. Not sure if there's a similar process for the HTC guys. And also not sure if there's a way to get whatever ROM to output to HDMI without having to mess with settings. Ideas?

Then it might be the fact that my ROM doesn't support it? I'd have no problem flashing back to stock, I just need a way to flash either via adb, or another non-recovery based method.

You can flash roms via adb on some phones via fastboot update if you are HTCDev unlocked. I have not done this nor I have I heard of anyone doing it with a One X. But since your phone is already on life support, what's the harm?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android#ROM_Flashing_2
I would try to use a stock rooted rom rather than anything custom.

Excellent. I wasn't sure if you could do this with any ol' zipped ROM or if there was a special file format that needed it. I'll give this a go tonight and see if it pans out. Thanks again for the suggestion!
Fastboot won't let you flash any unsigned zips. Ur best bet is to pull the system.img and boot.img from a ruu, then with adb, dd the system.img to dev/block/mmcblk0p33 and boot.img to dev/block/mmcblk0p21, reboot and your back to stock

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.

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?

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.
I am currently running Jelly Bean AOKP, but it's a bit crashy. I have a couple favorite apps that I wish would work again. Am I correct in understanding that the RUU is the factory ROM?
Yup, factory Rom. It's actually a program that runs on your pc that flashes the factory Rom. Make sure you dont use a newer one since it also flashes hboot.

2.20 contains the new hboot. If you run it, you can no longer flash radios to your phone and you have to flash boot.img manually (which means no flashing phone back ups on the go to switch ROMs). Just go with the 1.85 RUU. Doesn't matter if you are going to root/rom anyway. Side Note, if your phone already has the 2.20 hboot, do not run the 1.85 RUU!
Btw, why are you running an RUU anyway if I may ask?
If away from a pc, I'm guessing you could actually use terminal emulator and dd the boot.IMG corresponding to the Rom or backup you want to flash, reboot recovery, flash Rom/backup then reboot...I'm unrooted so I can't confirm, but would be a fun test confirm if it works or not

Don't you have to use clockwork to flash image from terminal emulator?
Edit: I guess that's only if I want the easy way with "flash_image"
RUU will not run when bootloader is unlocked. So remember to relock the bootloader before running the RUU.
Also RUU = ROM update utility

Terminal emulator is ran from android as an app. It's a linux terminal to use a shell command to dd the .img to the proper partition.......I would actually love to see somebody test to ser if it sticks or not. If it did we could write a simple script that people could use so they could easily flash on the go without needing a pc to fastboot flash the image
You could always just flash a stock rom, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872842. It is way easier than ruu-ing and you don't risk losing root
Thank you everyone for the replies. I ended up flashing CleanRom 4.5 and all is well. The RUU stuff looks like perhaps a bit more than I'm prepared for.

you need to extract the boot.img from the ROM and place it in the same folder as fastboot.exe
boot your phone into fastboot, by holding power and volume down until the phone turns off, release power but not volume down. You are now in hboot.
Make sure it says FASTBOOT USB.
Open command prompt
Navigate to where fastboot.exe is, for example cd C:\fastboot
then type fastboot flash boot boot.img

flashing boot.img is one of the easiest things in the world to do on ones phone. now that flashimagegui supports our phone its even easier and less of a hassle just make sure you do it before you flash the rom =) you dont even have to extract the boot.img if you use flashimagegui just load up the zip and it will find boot.img. then reboot into recovery, wipe and flash rom.

This is the problem. It doesn't specify where fast boot is or how you get it. So when it says to put it in the same folder people get confused. Is it on the phone, desktop or somewhere else? I'm past that hurdle and currently running CM10 but I think this is where people are getting stuck. I did however buy FlashImageGUI since it was only $.99.

The first line of that post is:
"you need to extract the boot.img from the ROM and place it in the same folder as fastboot.exe"
just use flashimagegui like i said above
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!

Sorry. Best would be the All-In-One Toolkit, TWRP is a recovery to replace CWM because its that what's messing you up and also TWRP is better. Toolkit will also flash the boot.img too.

Okay, will do! Also, where would I find the Boot.img?
And on a side note; my phone says S-ON...I thought when rooted it was supposed to be S-OFF. Could that be causing problems as well?

Boot.img is in the rom zip. S-On is not the reason its CWM thats messing you up with getting into the bootloader but also not flashing boot.img is not helping too.

Yes it says fastboot USB, but i can not access it on my computer. Also, every time I try to run the toolkit you mentioned earlier... it says something along the line on "command not recognized" in CMD Prompt.

I see that you got the toolkit and bootloader working but did you end up using the RUU?
Success!

Yes, i ran the RUU and my phone reverted to its stock factory state, no problems at all! Im going to unlock the bootloader again as well as root and install CM10. Thank you for all your help!

Np but this time use TWRP as your recovery and once you up and running with CM10 you can use Flash Image GUI to flash the boot.img if you ever update the rom.
Hi, ok, so i'm on CM11 currently and was thinking of flashing a stock rom, but keeping my root and recovery intact; whats the best away of doing this, any ideas?
From what i've gathered i have the following options;
DL and flash stock rom direct from google, reroot and re install recovery (i used wugs toolkit first time round; but i'd rather avoid having to reroot and re-install the recovery if i can)
Flash one of the currently rooted roms in Android Development (this is likely going to be the 'root' i go down; why would i need to flash the radio and or bootloader update???)
I'm just making sure i'm not making this more complicated than it needs to be; that is to say, make sure there isn't an easier method.
p.s. The reason behind using stock rooted rom is simple, i was using Xposed Frameworks and came across Gravity Box, the number of options on it are mind boggling, and i feel it gives me greater control over my phone.
Either way will work. Personally I'd flash the factory image and then re-root, but that's just me. If you go that route use this instead of wugs

Flash factory image
start android....enable USB debugging
Fastboot flash custom recovery
xfer and flash SU zip
reboot

Even easier is that you do not need to enable debugging in order to fastboot flash recovery or push via adb in recovery...

Even more easy is to buy a rooted phone, now top that
I'm in a rush to go somewhere, I very well know 2 ways to go: 1st avenue which takes 20 minutes and 2nd avenue that takes 25 minutes. Both ways are safe to go. Why should I spend 30 minutes analyzing the map to see which is faster and/or looking for a 3rd way if the time will be spent anyways
why not just factory reset and flash a deodexed stock ROM with SuperSU included, there are plenty hanging around development.

Is their literally a step by step to flash back to stock ? Mistah seems like your way is fairly simple ? Is there a guide to that anywhere ?
I have a GS3 (SGH i747) on CM11 and just want to be able to use MHL / HDMI.. Which the CM currently does not support.. Dont really want to go back to stock but I need MHL to work and I'm not sure any other way ?
Is there another ROM I can flash that supports it MHL that is decent ? If not, I dont know exactly how to get it back to stock if someone can help ..
Thanks.

There are return to stock guides in all the s3 forums here. Essentially you'll be flashing the official .tar via odin.
If you cant find the guides, ask there not here. This phone is completely different. Your method is not the same.
