Disclaimer: I am a noob!:cyclops: Wont understand jargon.
I tried rooting my HTC device and went through all the instructions as given by an youtube video. 'HTC One X - Root (in-depth)' by 'itvraag'
(I understand no links allowed till 10 posts but this might be an emergency! )
I am stuck at the Recovery section and am unable to get beyond the Recovery mode (screen).
The video says the next step is installing from the .zip file which I have downloaded onto my sd card.
I have got a bootloader screen which says 'Tampered' at the top. So, I guess, its not yet rooted?
I would appreciate solutions.
Thank you!:highfive:
p.s. The phone restarts in the normal At&T mode when done so and hence, its working as in stock.

This is the One S thread. Anyways, at bootloader, where it says tampered, it should also say unlocked. There is also recovery as an option in the menu. Have you flashed a custom recovery yet? If so, select recovery and use power button to select it and boot into your custom recovery. If not, select fastboot, and flash a custom recovery.

If you want just install Rom Manager then install Clockwork recovery from within Rom Manager. Just like i did.
Desire HD - Rooted
LeeDrOiD 1.2
Rom Manager 2.5.07
Did an update in the rom manager, HTC Desire HD was the only option
BUT "An error occurred while attempting to run privilidged commands!"
Now worked, for some reason superuser had been disabled, and I know it was not me
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need more info than you've given.
Have you got root on the device?
Have you got S-OFF?
If you have both, then simply download Rom manager from the market and install the recovery.

Hi
Try to run "Fix permissions" in Rom Manager. I had the same problem and this helped me.
Do we need to manually S-OFF before we can flash roms with this?
I didnt realise so i have already flashed recovery...
Do i need to go back and sort out S-OFF?

Yes, i think you definately need S-OFF
Im somewhat confused now, one of the guides mentions that S-Off is not mandatory...

Ok I don't get it.
I had permroot on my dhd with visionary and downloaded Rom manager now and flashed clockwork recovery by selecting my device. Now if I select reboot in recovery I only get options, reboot, sdcard update.zip and wipe. Also it says e:can't open cache/recovery/command
It does not show options like backup, restore or install from zip. Even after doing the fix permissions in Rom manager
What am I doing wrong?
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?

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.

Did you turn off "Fast Boot" in "Power settings" before you tried to reboot into recovery?
That Recovery is for the International HOX (tegra 3) not for out AT&T HOX (S4).

If you are rooted, go and download goomanager from the play store and use it to flash TWRP. Much quicker and easier than doing it through fastboot.

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.

Ok guys im pretty new here and im not sure weather this is the right spot to post this.
Anyway, i think i messed up. after rooting my phone successfully and proceeded to install cyanogenmod on it. how ever i saw a guide that said nothing about installing a backup program like clockwork mod.
So now i have a phone that when turned on will only go to the htc boot screen and stay there. or when i press the volume and power button it will go to the HBOOT? (white screen with colored writing that) screen.
What do i do??

There isn't really a guide, you can just download it here. Put it in your fastboot folder and issue the following commands:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(Whatever the exact recovery filename is)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can select recovery from your phone screen.
It seems to me that you're in way over your head with this stuff though. You need to do a lot more reading before you really do anything. Check out this guide. Everything you really need is listed there.
