Trying to install CM10 with TWRP

I have an att htc one x that has 4.01 and 2.20 software. I was able to successfully root the phone and now I'm trying to install CM10 but it's failing when trying to install.
It says it missing a MD5 File and says theres an error in the SD card/download/ the cm 10 file.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Make sure the Rom is for our phone and check the md5 sum it might be a bad download

I've tried redownloading the file several times and I'm still getting the same error message.
I'm downloading CM10 from here http://get.cm/?device=endeavoru

Wrong version, endeavoru is the international (Tegra3) One X. Our phone is code named evita.
Just stick to the Development forum here, to avoid flashing ROMs for the wrong version of the One X:

Thanks for the information.
Was able to successfully flash to CM10 but I'm stuck at the CM10 boot screen. Circle going counter clock wise around. What should I do?

If you flashed an international rom, there's a good possibility you messed something up. Factory reset, wipe /system, and try flashing the correct CM10 rom again.

Ok. I'm trying to do a factory reset from bootloader but whenever I do, it goes to the CM10 boot screen where I was earlier. How can I do a factory reset?

A guy I was working with had the boot screen splash. If you've flashed the correct one, then wipe your caches. if that doesn't work reflash.

Don't do it from bootloader, it can corrupt your sdcard. Do it from recovery.
Go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and system. Then install the CORRECT rom.

How can I reflash?
Thanks
-edit-
I was able to get back into TWRP. There I tried to do a factory reset but it tells me it failed. And after installing CM10, do I have to go back into bootloader and flash boot.img from the CM10 nightly zip file?
And there goes my stock rom... Factory reset is not working on TWRP and tried system reset thinking it would get rid of CM10 but instead erased my stock rom.
Please help, need a working phone soon..

There are stickies and tuts around here for this.. but, the reason why it's not working for you is you didn't flash the boot.img first. before you installed the .zip. Also, you'll need the latest gapps for that ROM as well.

Not familiar with the forums around here, so if you could link me some of these stickies or tutorial it would be great.

I have this problem. i went to the thread you posted, loaded TWRP, I've factory reset and what not, but now I'm stuck in TWRP without any real viable options. When I try to reboot to system, it brings me back to TWRP menu.

Do you have a rom flashed? If so, wipe both caches and reboot. If that doesn't work, reflash and do a system wipe from TWRP.

[Q] Help. Sticky Situation here with a HTC One S.

Hi everyone.
I have a TMOUS HTC One S (S4, mentioning because of some crazy people). I tried to install CyanogenMod 10 on it, but it fails. It just starts the splash screen.
Normally, I would flash an RUU, but now, the CID is HTC__001, and the Modelid PJ4011000. I am not allowed to install both European ROM and the stock TMOUS one. Oh, and to make things worse, it is relocked. Can someone help me, please???
mr_verystock

Unlock it, install custom recovery if you dont have it already, reflash the rom, fastboot flash the boot.img and it should start just fine.
Remember to wipe /system/, /data/, cache and dalvik-cache. Edit: Before you flash the rom, obviously.

Problems After S-Off

I have an AT&T One XL and have had problems recently. I unlocked my bootloader last year on the 2.20 firmware, which is how the phone came. I was able to flash ROMs no problem. About 3 weeks ago I decided to go S-Off with the whole thing. The S-Off was successful, I immediately flashed a new splashscreen and it is confirmed in bootloader that I am S-off. Last week I tried to flash the stable CM10 build, but it was unsuccessful. I found that the only ROMs I am able to flash are Sense ROMs 4.1.1 and above, or AOSP ROMs that are 4.2.x or above. I am on hboot 1.14 and I am very confused as to why I cannot flash properly. I am on TWRP 2.4.1.0, but have used various recoveries trying to solve the problem. I have also RUU'd trying to fix the problem, but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated!

Twrp 2.4 has issues with wiping properly. Have you tried a different version or wiping with adb in fastboot?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

From what I understand twrp 2.4.1 should be working but I would flash 2.3.x just in case, then do fastboot erase cache. Then wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset.
If you RUUd and are s-off why are you still on 1.14? You may as well go up to 2.14 then downgrade touchscreen to use AOSP. Super easy.
Since S-OFF is just a security flag, I am 100% sure it's not the cause of your issue.

I haven't wiped in fastboot because I thought that's what wiping in recovery was for, I really appreciate all of the input and I will be trying both of these things as soon as I'm done with dinner. Man's gotta eat, ya know :laugh:

Lol. Yep.

Only fastboot erase cache! The rest of the wiping is done in recovery!

As a question, what is the difference between wiping cache in recovery and the fastboot command?

Downgrade twrp to 2.3.3.1
Sent from the HOXL dimension of S-OFF

The fastboot command wipes a cache related to the recovery. Wiping cache in recovery wipes a cache relating to the rom.

So I wiped cache via fastboot, and flashed the ROM like i normally would (wipe everything in recovery), but nothing has changed. I still get hung up on the splashscreen when trying to boot the new ROM. ViperXL boots fine when I restore my NANDroid backup, though.

Did you try flashing the boot.img after? You're still on hboot 1.14 afterall. I haven't seen first hand if you can skip flashing the boot.img with s-off, in your case, it seems not.

Even without flashing the boot.img, it should go past the splashscreen to the boot animation, am I wrong?

You are wrong. It may depending on the kernel previously installed

Sorry to sound like a complete noob, I've been rooting ect for 2.5 years and never seen this problem. Could you please explain a bit more what you mean by the previous post. Are you saying it's the kernel or the boot.img not being installed correctly?

flashing the boot.img is flashing the kernel. you don't sound like a complete noob so don't worry.

alright so just to be sure. first off youre on twrp 2.3.x right?
you wipe cache, dalvik, system and factory reset right?
then you flash the rom and the boot.img right? (doesnt matter what order these are flashed)
and still bootlooping?

Trouble getting Miui to boot....again

Okay so Im trying to install miui v5 but im having isuues getting it to boot...again. ok so when v4 3.2.22 first came out I couldnt get it to boot. I would install the rom, then gapps and could not get it to boot past the optimizing apps screen. it would just stay at starting apps. I was told by another user to flash rohans kernel version b5 as that has worked for him on a different rom, and it worked for me. Now trying to install V5 its been a nightmare. when just installing the rom, then gapps I could not get it to boot past the splash screen. it would load it for a second then just go to a black screen. I then tried installing rohans kernel version b5 but now I get stuck at the starting apps screen I tried wiping cache and dalvik and that did nothing. tried installing different kernels and most I tried wouldnt let me get past the boot animaion Im using twrp 2.3.1.0, Im s-off and I even tried lowering my hboot from 1.14 to 1.09 just incase that might be it but nope. im no sure what else to do and help would be greatly appreciated

no. It loads the splash screen for a second then goes to a black screen.

You've verified the md5 right?
Boot to bootloader/fastboot and do fastboot erase cache in command prompt then wipe everything cache, dalvik, system, factory reset, then flash rom.

redownloaded 3 times. erased cache. wiped everything and same problem as before loads splash screen then back screen

Redownloading != checking md5 you could Redownload 500 times and all 500 downloads could have corruption of some sort.
You did fastboot erase cache?
If you're positive your download is good and after fastboot erase cache and wiping everything isn't working. Your last step is to s-off if you're not already and ruu to the latest version then flash twrp then wipe everything then flash the rom.

Just making sure since I have only researched slightly, since im s-off If i run the latest unrootable RUU Id still be able to unlock bootloader and regain root?

What other roms have you tried to flash? Is Mui the only ones giving you problems? Try other ones to see if it is not a bad twrp. It may not be wiping correctly.

I had the same problem with Chameleon. Took four different downloads to get it. Avatar took a few too lol. Take above advice. Check sum. Might even try wiping cache in adb.

Search MD5 Sum Checker. It's a program that is pretty self explanatory and will check it for you. The MD5 is attached to the download. You copy it from the site and past it in the checker.

And after you s-off you don't need to re lock to ruu so you won't lose bootloader unlock
