Hey all,
I have my AT&T One X(L), and I'm unable to flash any custom ROMs with TWRP.
The phone is rooted, and unlocked, and on hboot 1.14.0002 if that helps.
I'm [trying] to run TWRP version 2.3.3.1 for Evita phones.
Here's the process I'm using:
I've placed the ROM zip file in the downloads section on my SD card.
Extract and flash the boot.img from the ROM zip file using command prompt.
Wipe cache/delvik/factory reset from TWRP
Press "install", and find the zip file (in this case it's ViperXL)
It never gets past this point. No error messages, all it says is that it failed to flash the zip file. I made sure that the check MD5 box is UNchecked.
ANY help is greatly appreciated!
Make sure signature verify is unchecked too.
Make sure the md5 of the zip file is okay
Go to mounts, see if sdcard is mounted. Uncheck it, go flash. It will work

Thanks, how do I check the MD5 file to make sure it's ok?

Download MD5 checker from Play store if you care to ensure. Before you swipe to flash the Rom, make sure you DON'T check MD5 check.

So the SD card should not be mounted when I try to flash?
In mounts- box should have an X in it and say unmount sdcard

Thanks! I'm not 100% sure how to use this though; sorry. I uploaded the rom .zip, and the text appeared red. I'm guessing that's a bad thing?

Oh, yeah. It always has. Still a no-go.
Went back to the basics, and downloaded Rootchecker. It says my phone does not appear to be rooted, but I'm not sure how that's possible? I used the X-Factor exploit for 2.20 firmware, and on the bootloader screen it does say unlocked at the top. Could it actually not be rooted, or is it possible the app is wrong?

I couldn't flash with TWRP one day and couldn't find a solution so I just had to return to a RUU, re-unlock the bootloader, re-root and re-flash TWRP and problems were solved.
Give this a shot, sometimes the phone just plays up

Hey Im trying to flash Android Revolution for htc one m7 to get 4.4 kit kat and sense 6. The installation keeps failing. I've done the md5 checker and the file is green. Says 'Updating partition details...' then fails. I've wiped cache, dalvik, and factory reset it. Still no luck.

I couldn't flash nearly anything with TWRP, it kept saying "error executing updater binary in zip"... The problem was solved when I finally got pissed off and installed ClockworkMod, it never ever refuses to flash a file...

I know that this thread is a bit stale; but I just got to it. I've had to reinstall my CM OS due to my own foolish error and am now going through that process. I've got what I thought was a correct full installation of CM2I3. However, somewhere along that line; I did not get a keyguard_wallpaper file installed. So now I have no way to set a lock screen. SO, Should I understand from these comments that:
- If i have a correctly check summed zip file. <cm-12.0-YNG1TAS2I3-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip> in my "Download" folder and TWRP installed with SU installed,
- Then, I can go to Recovery mode in TWRP and run Install on that file,
- I will get a clean install right over my existing CM2I3 OS installation that will include the proper keyguard_wallpaper file installed?
Is that correct?

your in the wrong forum.
ive never had a problem of just one file having an issue unless that build has a problem or the zip was corrupt. other then that you should consult your own device forum. your steps should be correct though if it's not a build or checksum issue.

Good evening/morning all
Just grabbed this new OTA from my One S so i thought i would make an appearance... And before anyone asks, yes - I am working on a ROM
OTA_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2-1.53.401.2
Please note: This OTA takes you from 1.53.401.2 to 1.78.401.2
Change log from the updater service (rather vague):
System enhancment
Enjoy
P.S > Had no time to analyse the actual content but the OTA contains full firmware updates including HBoot & Radio.
Edit: Just noticed paul has done a repack of the base already.. may still come in handy for you devs out there
I knew you would come just like I asked for and others.
Thanks Lee.
If you can work on a T-Mobile ROM/EU ROM.

woohoo !! about time you made an appearance !! I knew you was hanging around here somewhere
missed you since i left the sensation forums
I know this is probably a really stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway...
Can you actually install an OTA package on the phone somehow or is it just useful to take files out of it?
And the other question, my phone doesn't find any OTA updates anymore since I've 'tampered' with it so is there a way to make it find and install the OTA updates again?
Thanks
As long as you are using the correct stock ruu you can apply it via cwm recovery(unlock needed )... to restore full functionality its best to flash the stock RUU

The other thing is that when I try installing the stock RUU it's telling me it's for the wrong device or something like that, although it's definitelly the correct RUU.
Also, my phone is HTCDev unlocked but is still S-ON so if I install the OTA package usign CWM is it going to update the radio and the hboot (I thought it can't do that if you're S-ON)?
Thanks
you dont install it via CWM, you install it via the stock recovery.. of which you will first need to flash..
Did'nt work for me, wrong CID...

Ok, maybe I'm not getting this right but I'm talking about two separate things:
Issue 1. My understanding is that I can install the OTA zip package using ClockworkMod, is that correct?
Issue 2. The RUU package won't install on my phone:
i) I have restored via ClockworkMod the nandroid image of the stock ROM (image that I've taken straight after I unlocked the boot loader and flashed a custom recovery, but before I rooted the phone). Then, I flashed the stock recovery image using fastboot. So now my phone should be back to stock.
ii) I then tried to install RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.53.401.2_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L_release_251412_signed.exe
When I do this, the RUU goes through right up to the step where it says 'Updating signatures' and then it stops saying 'unknown error' and it leaves my phone on that screen with black background and white HTC logo. Then, I have to hard boot and the phone starts up fine but in the state it was before the RUU - not even the user data is missing. To me this means that for some reason it doesn't even try to flash the RUU onto the phone but it stops when checking the signatures - I just can't understand why this is happening...
Can you help?
Thanks
1. No you cannot flash anything official from HTC using CWM, you MUST use stock recovery. You can find stock recovery in the OTA zip file, It will be named recovery.img OR recovery_signed.img
2. Unknown error is hard to diagnose, Normally we get error codes which we can identify as to what the problem is.. Are you running the RUU in fastboot ?

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I initiate the installation of the OTA zip package using the stock recovery? As I said, I can't actually get it 'over the air' but I've just downloaded the zip package from this thread...
ok put the package on your sd card.
boot into fastboot, flash the stock recovery using the command ''fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'' (or recovery_signed.img) (also no quotes)
when thats done, select recovery from fastboot using volume button..
When you get a red ! press volume UP and power button, That will take you into stock recovery
Then look for the option, install from sd card or something like that
select your OTA package and BOOM !!! job done
Reflash CWM and away you go
Damn... I had no idea that you can actually get into the menu of the stock recovery... It all makes sense now...
me neither till about 3 days ago
I might not seem like a noob,,,,,but deep down i am

I've tried that again and it actually breaks down when it gets to 'Checking Header...' and it exits with 'ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR". Maybe this is a bit more specific...
this is what i found for error 155
ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.
Alternatively (in some cases) right click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator".
Or use the rom.zip -> PGXXIMG.zip flashing method.

I dont know if it will fail when flashing the rom.zip in CWM - usually you have to rename it to the model number and flash in fastboot, however you cant do this with S-ON
My HTC one X came stock with 4.0.4 and all that whatnot, and has the new Hboot 1.(14 i think?) I'd assume. Well i successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp, however now I am stuck. Whenever I try to install a rom.zip it tells me that the MD5 is not found and any processes after that fail as well. I'm really lost. I'm fairly new to Android, been an iOS user but after rooting and flashing CyanogenMod7 on my Nook color it was an easy conversion. So I'm not entirely new to the process, theres just got to be something really easy that I'm missing.

When you flash in TWRP, there should be an option called "force md5 check" or something along those lines. Deselect that, and then try flashing. Also, needless to say, make sure your ROM .zip file is intact and authentic.
I believe that option should arise after you select the file you want to flash, but I don't remember exactly off the top of my head.
Further tip: if you get past that stage, remember that you have to separately flash the boot.img via fastboot, since your bootloader is greater than 1.09.
I saw that, but wasn't sure when to do that. Is that before or after I install the rom?

Before. Once you're set up with fastboot, enter "fastboot flash boot boot.img". The boot.img is found by extracting the ROM's .zip file and pasting it into the folder where fastboot etc. are located. After that's flashed, boot into recovery and flash your ROM like you normally would. This is required for any rom you flash with your bootloader, not just CM10.
Also, if installing a new ROM, you have to wipe everything, not just dalvik and cache.

And how would you ensure its intact except for an MD5 check?

Fair point. My understanding is that there can be other issues with md5 checking unrelated to the integrity of the ROM, but my mistake if that's wrong
Try this on?

Watch the video, if your flashing cm just turn the md5 check off in twrp.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
I was able to install CM9 and Paranoid Android even with it not passing the MD5 check. So my next question is is it really necessary? Is there a way to turn off the check? Or do I still need it for maybe other ROMs?
Did you ready post? Yes you need to turn md5 check "off" in twrp.

Hi all,
Apology if this questions may already been ask millions of time but I am really stucked at the moment and hoping that someone may guide me to the correct direction.
I have got HTC One X-LTE (Evita)
I managed to get S-OFF and also CID - 111111
It has TWRP 2.6
The last time I got it working was on the STOCK 4.2.2 I downloaded from the XDA - then I got into the issues of rebooting and loosing signal from time to time. so I went into my TWRP backup I had and reflashed it using my old backup made from my TWRP.
the reflashed failed and now I can only boot up to the HTC logo and then black screen.
I can get to the TWRP recovery and I have got fastboot and ADB on my PC.
When I run the fastboot devices command --> it shows device connected BUT when i try ADB command ---> no device is found.
It will be much appreciated if someone can guide me to the right direction as I am really stucked at the moment not sure where to start.
I tried searching in the forum but I don't think I went to the correct area/tutorial.
Please help
Thank you
When you made your twrp backup did you select system,data, and boot? If it's hanging at the HTC screen it seems there is not boot.img installed or one that is incompatible with your backup. Open whatever Rom your backup is made from and copy the boot.img to your fastboot directory. Then reboot the phone into fastboot mode and flash the boot.img using this command.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot the phone and see what happens

I finally got my phone at least booting again.
What i did was I went to the fastboot and then correct to the PC and when it was asking for format the drive, I did format it (fingers crossed) and luckily it let me see the ROm I downloaded from the Stock 4.2.2 Turge version.
Now my problem is that the phone keeps rebooting.
I don;t know how to flash the kernel as suggested on the front page of the thread.
What is the most stable ROM at the moment?
I want to learn how to flash and fix this - I have kept reading post after post but I still can not get myself to where I want it to be which is fixing the reboot issue from the STOCK 4.2.2 Turge version.
I am a real newbie so I am not too familar with some of the fancy terms people use.

You can either flash the kernel, which can be found in the Android Development section, flashing the kernel is just like flashing a ROM, just install in Beastmode. Or you can upgrade your firmware to 2.15, the instructions are I'm the first post of the ROM thread.
Asking which ROM is best/favorite/most stable is against the rules so we can't answer that question.
When you say the phone keeps rebooting, does it ever make it into the OS or is it boot looping (showing the boot animation then starting over)?

When you said that flashing kernel is the same as flashing ROM, I did it By going to TWRP and the press install and locate the zip file. Is this what should be done?
What is beast mode?

Yeah that's how you install the kernel. It must be done after you install the ROM. I kinda worded my reply a bit weird, sorry about that. Beastmode is the name of the kernel, you can find it here:

When I flash the zip, it is still saying "failed due to md5 does not exists".
I am not sure which should be address first but I now noticed that there is an error : "unable to locate storage device"

When I plug my phone to PC I can see the storage but why it is saying "storage device not found" in TWRP?

Good day Friends of the Forum
I have a problem and do not know how to fix it , I have navigate a lot in the network and I could not get my phone to work . I have HTC One X from AT&T. By playing around with the phone, accidentaly I delete the O.S. so right now my phone is locked . I can't load Origanal or Custom ROMS . The only thing I can do is enter the bootloader and install recovery ( TWRP ) I installed several versions of TWRP to install a custom rom or I locked the bootloader to install the original RUU and everything has been WITHOUT SUCCESS .
Right now I have S -ON , my HBOOT is 2.14 and I can install TWRP Recovery 2.6.0.0 or 2.6.3.0 .
I have read in many places that I have to make an S -OFF to install a Custom ROM , but all I get Tips that I need an OS runing to finish the installation (or modified to do the S -OFF) . What can I do if my S.O. is actuall blocked (brick). Only screen I got when I turned on or reboot my is the white screen " HTC quietly brillant" .
My friends , I request help from the wise in this range. Since I ran out of ideas . I attached pictures with my phone information
regards
You are not bricked (or "blocked", whatever that means). A brick means the device cannot be recovered without opening the device (replacing mainboard, JTAG, etc.). If the screen comes on, its not bricked.
Just use your unlock token to unlock the bootloader again. TWRP and custom ROMs won't install if the bootloader is relocked. The unlock token will sometimes take several (or even many) tries to work. So if you tried already, and it didn't work, just keep trying.
Also, if you are SuperCID (which was required to get bootloader unlock on the AT&T version) and S-on (which you are) DO NOT RUN the 3.18 RUU. If you do so, you will brick the device for real (only recoverable by JTAG).
My advice would be re-unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, install the custom ROM of your choice, and then achieve S-off.
Also, I find this situation comes up far too often ("I wiped the OS and I don't know what to do"). Don't wipe things (like the OS) if you don't know what the result is going to be. And if you had made a nandroid before messing with things, you could have just restored. Seems there are just far too many n00bs getting into this hobby without exercising any basic common sense.
Thank you so much for your advice.
I just re-Unlock my phone.
Would you please help me with one issue? When I try to install a custom rom via TWRP 2.6.0.0 it says checking for MD5 file. No MD5 file found.
and the phone start restarting and restarting...
How MD5 file works or whats the the function of this file?

and the phone start restarting and restarting...
How MD5 file works or whats the the function of this file?

MD5 is a checksum file (verifies the integrity of the download). But this shouldn't be happening in TWRP. Try the default wipe option in TWRP (factory reset, cache and Dalvik) and try again.
Uncheck the verify md5 box

That's what I was thinking. But I'm on TWRP 2.6.0, and don't see that option.

I have a problem when I try to install custom rom ViperXL_4.2.0.zip
When I try to install, the rom send me to a wizard, I follow the steps of the wizard and the star installing the rom, when the installation percent reach 7 % the phone restarts and send me the HTC quitly brillant screen.
Do you think that I need re-lock the bootloader and then re-unlock the bootloader??
thanks
No, do not relock the bootloader, that isn't the problem. I'm not trying to sound harsh, but why are you attempting to install custom ROMs? You lack a basic understanding of what you're doing, this is very dangerous. I seriously suggest that once you get the phone up and running again you stop modifying it and take the time to do some research and learn about what you're doing. You should always know what you're doing before you do it. Not knowing what you're doing leads to situations like this where you have idea how to recover, or even to a bricked device.
Did you manually check the md5 of the ROM zip after downloading it? The file might be corrupt, thus causing the installer to fail.

No, I don't think relocking is going to help at all.
Try downloading the ROM again.

Thanks verry much for your advice, now I am living the consequences for start playing with my device without knowledge. I promise when this nightmare ends, I am going to do a deep research for installing custom roms and how to make backups before playing.
This problem happens with all roms that I try to install?? In your experience how do I make a good MD5 manually check .
Regards
The md5 sum will be listed on the download page of the ROM, you need to use an md5 checking program/app to make sure the md5 of the downloaded file matches the one listed on the download page. To make this easier to understand, an md5 is like a fingerprint of the file made up of a series of letters and numerals. If the md5 of the file matches the one listed on the site you know the file is exactly as it should be. If it doesn't match then you know the file has been corrupted during the download.

Wipe the phone using TWRP wipe options, Then try to install it again, If it fails again then wipe and install clean ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011 Or try the stock ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423735
Then try viperXL again. Make sure its the full 7xxMB Zip and not the update thats like 44MB
(Wiping With TWRP will not erase TWRP)

Hi, I don't know what am I doing wrong, I still can´t install a clean rom. This is what I get when I try to install I get this message "All Done!! Updating Partition Details "
What I've been missing, because I restart my phone after that message and I get White Screen (HTC Quality Brillant) and the phone has a never stop restarting.
I attached images, please see it. First One is loading the clean ROM and Secon One is when finish installing ROM.
Best Regards
Did you check the md5 of the ROM after downloading it? I did ask you this in a previous post but you never answered.

I´m Sorry, I din't check the md5, do you think the problem resides in the md5 file?? I already try with 12 custom and 1 clean rom for the AT&T HTC One X, that's why I didn´t check the md5 file, because I thought that one of all the roms, one of them is going to be the correct one. In some cases there is no md5 file for downloading.
Best regards
Will I continue to get OTA software updates if I root and unlock the boot loader (to install TWRP)?
Thanks,

Yes, make sure to untick to update the recovery in the debug options

Yes.Of course.But it happened to me that the update script showed some errors. I had to fix them by downloading the original files and replacing my system files.
want to love this device but it seems like its always something.

Can I dirty flash the nightlies from CM11S if I have just unlocked the bootlader and rooted?
There is no nightly for CM11s just for CM11.
I recommend to do a clean install including factory reset.
Keep in mind that after flashing something, you need to flash root at the end too

So we will still get OTA's great! Great phone for costumizations.

That does not happen if you just unlock, root and install a custom recovery.
Also a custom kernel would be fine

Sorry if this is a bit of a n00b question (I know people are sensitive about that!) but I have searched around a bit and not found a solution to this issue. Here's the situation...
So what i've done so far is unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and SuperSU (so I have root). I also unchecked the update recovery box in dev options. When told I need to update I downloaded the update, hit install, the phone reboots and takes me to TWRP. When in TWRP I hit install, navigate to the cache and try to install the update /cache/cm-bacon-d22b777afa-to-4f280f505a-signed.zip
When I do that, I get the following:
"
E:Error installing zip file '/cache/cm-bacon-d22b777afa-to-4f280f505a-signed.zip'

Installing '/cache/cm-bacon-d22b777afa-to-4f280f505a-signed.zip'...

Anybody got any ideas?
Seems TWRP expects a MD5 file.
I use CWM as recovery and can install the update OTA. Maybe try CWM recovery

Yeah, you gotta open the zip on your pc, modify META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and remove the code (its in the top part) that mentions the incompatible data error. Then try flashing again.
