Bricked After trying to install CM10 - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

After trying to install CM10 Via TWRP my phone hung on the CM10 splash page.
I have tried to reinstall CM10 and I keep having the same problem.
I'm able to access TWRP but for some odd reason I can't mount my sd card properly. I'm not able to click "Mount sd card" on the "mount" page in TWRP. That being said I can't backup my phone from a previous backup.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now my phone won't even turn on.. HELP

Have you tried holding down the power and volume down button for longer then 10 seconds or longer? this should force restart your phone, get into TWRP and try an other Rom for now, also did you try an international rom? international roms will not work.
UPDATE: I'm guessing your also can't recover your last back up because your on HBOOT 1.14 S-ON? 1.14 will not recover boot.img's

If you manage to get it to mount to your computer (Check your drivers are installed also, EG htc sync usb drivers) then look for a "one click boot img flash" unless you know how to flash them using fastboot commands, whenever you are to flash a room, extract the boot.img from the zip file, flash that in fastboot, THEN go to recovery and flash a rom. same goes for backups. S-off is a hassle.

My computer recognizes that the phone is being plugged into the computer but it can't install the proper drivers.
Sadly I can't get my phone to go into recovery either.

when in twrp recovery.
1. delete cache, dav. cache, and system restore.
2. reinstall the gapp files and the CM10 zip file.
3. reboot

The issue is that I can't get into TWRP

what did you do to it? phones don't just die and cm10 didn't kill it. are you sure you flashed cm10 for the evita?
also try flashing this version of twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-evita.img
also run "fastboot erase cache" after flashing then try going into recovery and wiping cache,dalvik, and external

I'm trying to fix it by using the HTC Android Phone ROM Update utility, but I keep getting the follow error.. "ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR...
I'm not currently able to boot into TWRP to install a new ROM.

well if you've unlocked your bootloader you cant upgrade with anything to do with htc and that's sure to mess with it. you're on your own sources of updates, no OTA nothing. You need to install htc sync and adb drivers for your phone if that still doesnt detect then its a usb brick and I'm of no hope but others may be

I managed to relock my bootloader, but installing the stock RUU is still another story..
I can only get my computer to recognize that the phone is connected to my computer if I'm in Fastboot mode.

If you can't mount from recovery the sd got corrupted happened to me they have a fix if you do a few searchs. If you locked the bootoader and the computer only recognizes in fastboot that is good now run a RUU like 1.85

[Q] Bricked 2.2 during AOKP flash...help!

I have a 2.2.0 hboot 1.14 unlocked, tampered CID1111111 One XL from AT&T. I was trying to try my first cooked ROM Friday night and I think I may have totally screwed up. I did a "factory reset" from the bootloader instead of from TWRP 2.3.1. My phone gets to "initiating Swagger" and gets stuck. I tried to re-ROM but TWRP can't find the directory. Everything appears to have been over-written. I tried to use the 2.2.0 RUU to start over, but now my computer doesn't recognize the device in HTCsync. I tried to re-image the hboot with a stock 2.2.0 image to see if that would at least start up so that I could use the RUU. It doesn't appear to have helped. HTCsync still doesn't recognize my phone although it now alerts me that the device "MyHTC" is now on the computer. I tried to mount the USB with TWRP and the computer tells me that the drive is "unformatted" and asks to "format?" So far I've cancelled out of that.
Is this device borked beyond repair?
Update: The solution was very sinple. Reformatted SD in FAT32. Re-downloaded AOKP and Gapps. Extracted the boot.img file from AOKP. Copied zipped AOKP and Gaaps to newly formatted SD. Flashed the boot.img file in fastboot using the Team Nocturnal tool. Everything booted normally and runs great!
Many thanks to area51avenger and crappyvate!! You guys are what makes this community rock! Keep up the good work.
I believe I had this problem yesterday when trying to install AOKP, I didn't flash the boot.img before I ran the .zip in TWRP. I was stuck in the boot screen and then wiped all my data. Couldn't mount SD from TWRP, had to install HTCSync on my computer, relock the bootloader, and run the RUU of what I was previously on. I tried to go to 1.85, but it didn't allow me because I was previously on 2.20, getting the RUU for 2.20 and running it gave me back stock Sense, and I re-unlocked my bootloader and was able to successfully install AOKP after flashing the boot.img.
Don't factory reset from bootloader.
Format card to fat32, mount usb storage in twrp, copy aokp over.
Install as per the 1000 threads here

So you can actually reboot in recovery ? reformat your sd card (fat32). Try to flash the boot.img of the rom you're on, reflash the romzip and see where that takes you. Note: there seems to be some issue with htc sync while you flash so make sure to disable htc sync.

[Q] Wiped and not working HTC One S [s4]

Good day everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am in desperate need of your help. I recently purchased a HTC One S from an online store they told me it was new never used locked phone. Turns out phone was rooted, 4g does not work, and it could not recognize e drive, (internal sd card)
After reading the all in one i re-rooted it and install the teamwin version of recovery.
Now i never had any back ups or any factory files. as i got the phone rooted with software that did not work. My phone now has no rom and i cannot install from adb sideloader, or an other means. I am new to this and cannot seem to figure out how to get my phone back to even stock un-rooted etc. I tried multiple forums and download links but nothing.
i was able to install vipers rom at one point but despite several attempts to reinstall. recovery does not see files loaded. which i can see on my mac or pc.
the other strange thing i notice is that at the top in fastboot mode i sometimes see unlocked in pink only and other times i see both unlocked and tampered. when its unlock only none of my computers recognize connection.
I also tried boot.img for flash. The furthest my screen no goes is the htc logo, then goes black.
Please help, even to just point me in rite direction to have this resolved.
the boot.img, did you flash it via fastboot? (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
And, one question that comes to mind... they sold you a device as new, yet it wasnt.. Why didnt you return it?

Yes I tried several times loading the boot.img via fastboot.
As far as returning the device i trashed the mailing box but kept original packaging so no return address. I called the company which i made the purchase from "N1wireless" several times and sent several emails to them. They have yet to reply or answer any of my calls. Which is why I am so frustrated.

Boot into recovery, select mount > mount usb storage. From pc move the Rom.zip to your sd card which should now be showing on your pc. After it is moved to your phone select unmount then press home button in twrp recovery. Then install the Rom. After install open up adb and type adb reboot bootloader then press enter. Now fastboot flash the boot img from inside the Rom.zip on your computer. After that reboot your phone and report back

Hi, thanks for the reply, thats just the thing I cannot in recovery install any rom loaded to sd card. It fails. I tried reinstalling the recovery and it still not reading my sd card.
So my guess is i need a new twrc or how to do it from my mac, as now when i try on my pc it is failing as-well. Once I get the recovery to work I will try your other suggestions as I think it will work based on the steps you mentioned.
I am trying to figure out how to use terminal to reinstall recovery. any suggestions or links will be greatly appreciated.:good:
you install recoveries through fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I reinstalled recovery several times now and it wont recognize the sd card. is there another recovery i can download and use? Also is there any instructions for a newby to use terminal to re-boot, everything from scratch. Meaning if the phone is completely blank except the fast boot and a recovery manager no backups or stock kernel etc. what is the format to be used in order for the computer and recovery to recognize the sd card?
I think I need a good recovery rom like cmod if there is one for the htc one s or the stock one if someone has it.
hi i had that problem

I had that problem the sd card would not be seen by my laptop and the phone would not boot at all if you plug in the phone to your go to start and then computer right click on your c drive go to manage and see if you can see it there if so try to format it and then reboot the phone if it works you can then install cwm as a recovery system then you can put what rom you wont on it i am use in zenRom 1.05 and to me its the best coz it like the htc rom that the phone come with if that don`t work let me know coz i have more tricks to try i hope this helps you out.
Theres only TWRP and CWM for the S afaik, and CWM sucks. TWRP is the one to use.
I had a similar problem a few days ago, luckily there's not such a bad solution.
1) Pick a custom ROM you want to install from the HTC One S developer forums (I went with Trickdroid) and download the ROM/boot image.
2) Then download and flash the stock recovery here: http://www.4shared.com/file/1UuxTh0k/stock_recovery.html
3) Boot into bootloader, clear storage and then reset to factory defaults.
4) Flash TWRP
5) Reboot into recovery, sdcard should now be mounted/visible
Then push the ROM to your sdcard with adb or mount USB storage and flash it/flash the boot image and you should be sorted.

got it. will try it asap.
I could not get the stock recovery via that link you provided. If there is another link to the stock I would appreciate it. I had to flash it wit cwm twice then reflash with twrc to get it to identify the sd card. i had tried the viper rom but my 4g and wifi doesnt work. Will try trickmod hopefully that works with no more issues

Hey thanks allot for your suggestions. I made some progress. It kinda worked. However I my wifi and data connections no good. I tried the 9.1 update and then tried the tweaks.
Do you know if it is possible to get stock kernel and stock rome to undo changes on device?

BRICKED any fix?

so my stupid head downloads a s3 rom for my s4 hard and flashes it...
now its bricked but i can still get into recovery..
is this the end:[
No, wipe everything and reflash the right one. You should use TWRP so...
Depending on your bootloader version don't forget to 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' within fastboot mode. Remember: **** happens...

For stock ruu you need to be on stock recovery, your device relocked. You can always do that after you've tried it the easy way. :good:

half brick htc one s s4
Hi, so after upgrading to MIUI.us_ville_v4_2.11.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_linds6630 for some reason my htc one s s4 storage usb sotrage stopped working and now even wifi wont work, I've tried wiping installing many times and it didn't help.
So I went and flashed stock recovery and locked bootloader I got the ruu file and now it wont flash as I get signature error so went to check mainver and there is a problem it's all blank. I've tried to use mainver error fix from all in one toolkit ver3.3.1 and no luck as system can't mount sd. when on custom recovery windows couldn't recognize file system so i only had an option to format the storage, I didn't want to do that as miumi starts and I was affraid that this operation will wipe some data and I loose phone completely. So what can I do next, can you help me please?

Stuck on CWM when trying to install CM10.2.1

Hello,
I got this HTC One X from AT&T (->evita) and tried to get CM 10.2.1 running on that.
The steps I made:
Boot into bootloader, go to fastboot, then get the identifier, get unlock token via htcdev and unlocked it with fastboot.
I then flashed CWM 6.0.4.6 for evita via "fastboot flash recovery *filename*". Now I booted into CWM (recovery) and wiped everything instead of first trying to copy the cm.zip onto the sdcard. (I also didnt do this when the stock ROM was still running...)
Now I can access the phone via fastboot in the bootloader but I can not use adb or the USB mount when in CWM. Whenever I plug the phone into my computer (or laptop, doesn't matter. Also tried switching between USB 2 and 3 ports!) Windows keeps making the "unplugged" sound every second.
Reinstalling the latest HTC drivers did not change anything.
Anyone here knows a way how I can stop that or get the zip file on the memory? I also tried flashing the boot.img on boot and tested if I can copy the file then through CWM but that did not work.
Hoping,
NyphoX
Not sure if it'll work but try using TWRP recovery instead:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
Sent from my Evita
Installed the most recent version.
I get into the recovry and when I plug it into a computer Windows will keep making the "unplugged"-noise.
I can see the sdcard-directory perfectly when I hit install in both, TWRP and CWM but when I want to mount it via USB it will not change anything and I cannot access it on my PC.
adb doesn't list any device either.
Also, TWRP and CWM keep telling me that my phone is not rooted, when I try to power off or restart. Is that normal?
My other HTC One X (non AT&T) just works fine with cwm 5.*.*.*
It's normal for the recovery to inform you that you're not rooted, it'll suggest that you install superuser but there's no point doing that in your case because you have no working OS installed. Did you at any point perform a factory reset from the bootloader? If so, you've corrupted the internal storage (known bug on modified Evitas) and will need to wipe it with TWRP.
Sent from my Evita
Saw that in your Q&A.
I wiped the internal_sd and tested it after but it still did not work. I also tried a factory reset through TWRP but that did not help either.
Both recovery programs keep telling me "E:Unable to mount '/cache'.
Still not working. Q_Q
Update: I got like the oldest laptop I ever owned and installed the most recent HTC drivers there and tried to mount it. It told me in device manager that the "evita" is not recognized. When I let Windows search automatically it installed the drivers and I am now able to access the memory.
I can only assume what the problem was but it seems like the HTC One X (endeavoru) driver and the evita don't like each other...
TL;DR trying to install now. Will edit.
//EDIT: Windows still screws when I plug the phone to the other computer/laptop, so I just have to use the old machine now. Still thanks for your help, timmaaa!
//EDIT: It does work when I booted CM and enable the USB storage at the other two machines.

[Q] I'm stuck on a bootloop ! (C2/Ville)

Hello guys !
Today i decided that i want to unlock the bootloader for my htc one S C2. Managed to do that and managed to root it too. I installed TWRP (version 2.6.3.0) using a guide made by our firend, Bipe ( link here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175411 ) flashing it from my PC.
All went incredibly good ! Then,i decided that i should flash a new ROM.
I downloaded VIPER ROM and transfered it to my phone via USB. Now...silly me...decided to FULLY WIPE all the data on my phone,using TWRP's advanced wipe settings. I did that. All good. Then i recieved a message from recovery saying that my phone is not succesfully rooted or something similar and they gave me the option to install a new SuperSU. I accepted,by mistake,of curse,knowing that my phone is succesfully rooted after i used the Root Checher app from the Play Store. And then spoof... my phone stuck into a bootloop. Couldn't flash the ROM because i wiped all the data from my SD card,and also i have no backups saved. Furthermore my pc seems to not recognize the phone !
Using the same cable and the same USB slot it detected my old htc wildfire.
Please help me to get my phone back on track

i can acces TWRP . how do i do that if i don't have any backup made ?
If you can access twrp, than you can try to use the order
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
...to copy a rom to you sdcard. Than you have the chance to flash the rom again.
But in general... Stuck at the bootloop is a famous failure.
If you are S-On (readable at the bootloader) you have to flash the Boot image after flashing any custom rom by extracting the boot.img outside the rom.zip and using the fastboot order
fastboot flash boot boot.img
In general I recommend to flash your phone to S-off when you want to flash custom roms - it makes many things more easier! You can get s-off in example with moonshine s-off.
Hope this could help

I'm no expert but if you are S-ON and you can see fastboot usb, then your phone is still fixable IMO.
you can flash a stock rom
