Before you fix your recovery you will need HTC Sync Software http://www.htc.com/www/help/htc-one-x/#download
And ADB installed from the SDK here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Once you load the SDK Manager download the Android SDK platform tools. Then download the proper recovery Image that has official support for the AT&T One X from here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/99
Go to the folder you installed the SDK tools to If your on Windows 7 x64 and installed it using the default paths it will be located here C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools when at that folder move the recovery image file in to that folder then hold shift and right click in the folder select open command window here.
Now get your phone back into the bootloader select fastboot and connect it to your pc when your phones bootloader says fastboot usb its connected and ready to fix.
type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8.1-evita.img
that will update your recovery to TWRP which is much better than CWM. From there you can select reboot into recovery from the bootloader TWRP will load up you can Wipe /system /cache then mount your phone to your PC and upload any ROM you want. I recommend AOKP or CleanROM and flash away.

People really need to start searching before they post this is somewhere around the 20th post I've seen like this in the last couple days. All want help unbricking and people have posted guides on how to unbrick. Also there are many posts about how CWM for the HOX is highly unstable.

I flahsed cm-10.1-20130302-NIGHTLY-evita.zip
I have an evita HTC one x
before i installed i wiped cache, davlik cache and system from TWRP, after install i wiped cache and davlik.

odd, are you s-off? h8rift told me he uses gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip for gapps since using those i have had much better luck with flashing roms. i'd say stick on wall charger for awhile and volume down + power some to get into bootloader.

thanks

I was able to get into bootloader, but after trying to flash again again it is still not loading. Guess I will have to go with a different ROM, i had ViperXL but i wasnt overly fond of it.

i asked if you were s-off and what gapps you were using.

sorry

Since your not S-OFF you need to flash the kernel through fastboot. The reason CM won't boot is the kernel you currently have is for sense roms.

Since you're new I recommend you sift through the forums and get a better understanding of general things. That said, these steps should aid you:
1. Download the Boot Installer : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962428
2. Extract the Boot Installer somewhere easy to work with, like your desktop.
2. Download your ROM of choice, CM10.1, ViperXL, etc ( download to your desktop to make it easy)
3. Extract the ROM you downloaded. (you downloaded a .zip, extract it)
4. From the extracted ROM folder copy the boot image and only the boot image into the TN_Win Boot Installer Folder. (If there is another boot image in the TN_Win Boot Installer folder just replace it)
5. Boot into your bootloader (press and hold both the power button and bottom volume rocker when device is off to boot into it)
6. Select "fastboot" option
7. In the TN_Win Boot Installer folder run "RunMe from fastboot"
8. A command prompt will pop up and flash the boot.img for you.
9. Boot into recovery once told to by the command prompt.
10. Wipe system and factory reset
11. Install ROM of choice
I am assuming you have already installed the drivers to your computer to allow your device to transfer files with your computer. If not downloading HTC sync should install them. If you have problems with TN_Win Boot, it's likely these drivers are not installed and your computer is not communication with your device.
Note: You'll have to do this procedure every time you swap between AOSP ROMS to Sense ROMS. This is because there kernels are difference.
If you're able to get your device to an S-OFF state you no longer have to flash the boot.img and can just flash the ROM from recovery without hassle. We just achieved S-OFF recently so read about it!
I recommend you look into achieving S-OFF, but till then, this method should work.

How were you flashing CM10.1 before? You had to have it on your SD Card in order to install it from recovery.
If you don't have the ROM zip file on your sd card you'll have to get it on there. I'm not sure what the best method is, maybe someone else can chime in.
If you didn't wipe your system yet, just flash the boot.img for the ROM you were using before and you should be able to boot into your old ROM. Or better yet if you have any ROM zip on the sd card just flash its boot.img and then install that ROM so you can boot into android and have easy access to your sd card.

What recovery are you using?
Format all partitions except sd, flash rom through recovery, flash gapps through recovery then flash boot.img with adb whilst phone in fastboot. If your stuck at any point click the link in my sig, post 2 contains a link to how to install 4ext and custom rom with clear instructions that you could copy and paste into cmd

That's it, hboot is fine, if your flashing a newer version of the same rom you can get away with just formatting cache and dalvic, you'll still need to flash the boot.img though.

Evita download isn't even on that page -_- Are you using an evita htc one xl? If not, wrong forum. If so:
download a rom from this Forum section, if you like AOSP, there's a bunch to choose from in Original android development.
download twrp 2.3.3.1 do not use any version above 2.3.3.1
Check MD5 of your downloads, make sure it matches.
Reboot to bootloadrer
fastboot flash recovery twrp2.3.3.1filename.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Select recovery from bootloader
Mount USB storage
Copy your rom over.
wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset
Flash your rom zip file
If you are S-OFF or your hboot < 1.14 reboot you're done.
If your hboot >= 1.14 and S-ON extract the boot.img from the rom you downloaded
reboot to bootloader/fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img (the one you just extracted from the rom)
I wasn't going to help you at first because this EXACT post is created at least once a day and is easily fixed by reading and understanding what you're doing. Hopefully this is a wakeup call that you should not be rooting your phone without knowing at least the basics.

[Q] to root or not to root

Hello,
1st.: while starting this new thread, I looked through the automaticly generated similar threads and found non that was suiting my problem.
Last night I unlocked the bootloader of my wifes Xperia L (C2105) and got stuck into an boot loop. After this I had the need to flash an original rom (4.1.2). This results in an total wipe of the phone :crying:
Now the phone has an unlocked bootloader and an old Android Version. I want to install the pacman rom 4.4.4. I know i have to use cwm or twrp to do this, but do I need to root the device?
I'm a little bit confused. I thought installing the *.img-File from TWRP, with the folloing command, will get me the recovery option an with this option
Code:
c:\fastboot\Fastboot.exe flash boot C:\fastboot\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-taoshan.img
Can anyone help me out?
My wife is not upset, but with the boot loop from last night in my mind, I'm quit unsure what to do next.
many thanks in advanced
Felix

you need to root the device and use flashtool by androxyde(Easier and user friendly), first download the rom and put it in internal/external memory and then install thunderzap 4.12 by select bootkk.img and install it in fastboot mode in flashtool, now enter the recovery go into wipe and format options and choose clean to install a new ROM and then flash the pac rom and reboot

Root isn't necessary.
Download PAC ROM, Take boot.img inside the zip.
Flash boot.img via fastboot.
Boot into recovery, wipe data / factory reset.
Flash ROM and GApps.
That's it

NOP, you dont need to root to install a custom rom

you can download the rom, extract it and keep, boot.img file, in fastboot folder, and also keep the downloaded rom zip file in sd card for later use.
than you can use use fastboot commands to flash those boot.img which will install the recovery into your phone, than .
use reboot command in fastboot, it will reboot your phone, take out your cable, using volume up key go to recovery,
there clear all the cache and delvik cache file, then, install your custom rom by selecting from your sd card, it will take a bit of time for first time, so don't worry,
than you are done,
