Oh boy are you ever far from bricked.
Flash twrp 2.3.3.1 or under. boot twrp.
Mount USB storage, format drive.
copy rom intended for onexl
wipe everything, flash stock rooted rom
S-OFF if youre not already. (sticky in original android development section)
RUU (no need to relock or S-ON, may as well leave it that way in case the person buying wants to root)
Voila, stock.
hahahaa.. thanks so so much, flashed 2.3.3.0 and was able to mount again )))))

HUGE help to me, too, man. Was at the same point. For what it's worth, I flashed to TWRP 2.4.1.0 from Hasoon2K's AiO tool.
Loading ViperXL now.
As stated many many many times, all versions of twrp above 2.3.3.1 have issues wiping partitions. Even in my instructions I specifically say 2.3.3.1 or under.

I hate to post this but after 3 days of trying to get this damned phone serviceable I am seeking higher powers.
I have viewed just about every thread I can, and everytime i think I'm getting close only to be disappointed.
I was attempting to root a Rogers HTC One X for a friend. Ive rooted 3 other devices prior to this one without issue and constantly custom rom my own device (HTC Raider).
As of now, I CAN: Boot to Hboot (1.11.000), Flash Custom Recovery (Have tried TWRP and CWM, can enter successfully cant do much else), flash things via fastboot.
I CANNOT boot to OS. Its apparently gone. so as such, i have no access to the SD-ext. I CAN mount USB in TWRP but while it shows up in windows as a storage device, I CANT see it on the phone, so i cant flash it. I CANNOT mount in CWM.
I have attempted to RUU via fastboot. I have gotten errors for signature, size and model. Even the stock, non-root one (1.94) stated that the size is incorrect. Im also seeing alot of Errors regarding android-info.txt.
I really desperately need to get this running. Which ever rom. i dont care. If i can get stock, fine, if not Custom rom/kernel.
My biggest issue is not having access to the sd-ext and this phone, for some stupid reason, does not have a microSD slot, which would have made this whole issue alot easier.
I dont know if im missing a file or a step. Im really not sure where to go next.
If you have files that will work and can tell me how to do it, I will forever be in your debt.
It seems to me that i SHOULD be able to run fastboot update xxx.zip and just have it fix it but thats when im getting the android-info.txt errors.
If i could manually flash the 3 files through fastboot (system and boot more than recovery), i would think it would work but nooooooo.
Is there any way any of you know how to get me to atleast being able to see my sd-ext on both windows and TWRP so i can flash it that way? ANYTHING?
So, Got it up and running with Team Nocturnals Rom.
What I had to do was wipe SD and caches in TWRP. Flashed CWM from fastboot. Wiped SD and cache AGAIN. Flashed back to TWRP. Wiped SD and Cache. Rebooted to fastboot. Flashed the boot.IMG. Rebooted to recovery. Mounted USB. Windows detected it. Formatted to fat32. Copied the .zip to SD and installed. Problem solved.
Stock 2.20 Rom that's around didn't work, deodexed rooted stock didnts, nor did Android Revolution HD.
I still thank all of you, because even though I got this working myself, it was bits and pieces of every other thread that got me to that point. Thank you all.

Ummmm android revolution is for the international one x.... Maybe that's how u f'd it up in the first place? Idk just be careful the threads are kinda similar ...
No, I didn't even touch Revolution until it was already not working. I was originally just rooting the stock. It wasn't until it softbricked that I attempted any customs.

Hey guys new here. I've done a fair amount of searching and cant really find anything that describes my problem. Trying to root my AT&T HOX and failed to put CM10 on the drive before unlocking. Now I have TWRP up right now but when I go to mount and then mount USB storage my PC says that this drive needs to be formatted to work correctly. Honestly not sure what I should do here I tried using HASOON2000's all in one kit but couldn't find the data folder for it. So I started following Cursed4Eva's video tutorial. I have already went to HTC Dev and unlocked it. When I'm in the bootloader menu it says "unlocked" "tampered". Basically Im kinda stuck right now as to what I can do to get CM10 on the one x's drive. Sorry for the super noob questions. Thanks in advance!
Okay so I formatted my drive. I'm able to get into TWRP and Bootloader screen, I get stuck in an infinite loop of the HTC screen with a disclaimer on it if I try to turn my phone on normally. Not sure where to go from here. Do I need to put CM10 in a specific folder and then "install" it from TWRP? Really sorry for the newb questions but I thought that I could handle this and apparently I cant.
Inside of TWRP, there should be a Mount menu button that will allow you to mount your phone to your computer. Simply drop the ROM zip anywhere in that directory, unmount the phone, and choose the Install option on TWRP. Select the ROM zip file and see what happens. If you get errors of "unable to mount drive" or the like, you may have to reflash the factory RUU and start over. Did that my first time trying to flash, it's a little sucky.
You can also do this from the fast boot bootloader menu with adp push.
Well I forgot upload boot.img can I just do that right now and "install" it? Will it just install CM10 and I should be good from there? Not sure what the adb push is. I have a folder with the documents, boot.img, adb, adbwinapi.dll, and fastboot.
Okay update I got CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip installed so I have root access. I also have TWRP installed. I dont think that I have a Kernal on my phone or if it is then its not working correctly. In my bootloader screen it says **tampared** and **unlocked**
I might need to reflash the factory RUU (I assume Factory ROM?) and try again I guess.
You should just be able to select the entire zip and install that through TWRP. I've been told that if your hboot version is 1.14, you might have to fastboot the boot.img separately. The ROM/Kernel set I used both took care of that for me via Aroma installer, but it's something to keep in mind.
Well Im far to newb for this so I will try to put my phone back to RUU and try again another day! After doing more research I found some people say that TWRP 2.3 doesnt work for the AT&T 2.20 and that you have to use 2.2 TWRP. Can anyone confirm this? Also learned quite a bit from this failed attempt. Please tell me if Im correct, Need to unlock the phone with HTCDev, upload the boot.img via fastboot, install TWRP, mount the "sdcard" flash the rest of the rom? Does this sound correct?
I'm on 2.2 using twrp 2.3.1.0. From what I've read, different roms tend to recommend different recovery apps/versions.
As for the ordering of the install process, I would install the recovery first thing after rooting because you'll need that to flash superuser. A lot of installers will actually use superuser during the installation, so you'll want to make sure that's squared away first.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
So you just load the rom after you have your phone unlocked and the recovery app (TWRP) and SuperSU installed?
I really appreciate the help! Thank you!
Sounds like you got it, hope everything goes well. Good luck!

Hi, seems like my One S's sdcard partition has corrupted. been using TWRP 2.500 and recently upadted to 2.6.30 to use the new Maximus Rom. During the rom installation, I wiped the sdcard sectrion by mistake so I couldn't get to flash the zip file, then, I've tried multiple times of recovery.img flashings via RUU mode or on the bootloader screen. Finally when I got the TWRP recovery mode again, it says the sdcard folder only accepts 48 MB so I cannot push any custom roms since they are bigger than 500MB... Any ideas? Should I send it to the repair shops? Please Help!! Thank you!
FYI, my phone was
Tampered, Unlocked, S-off
also, when I press mount button on TWRP, this list appears
Cache
Data
Internal SDcard
System
USB-OTG
but I select Internal SD, the computer says the removable disk has only 48MB of available space.(I wiped it multiple times!)

Yes, don't sweat it. It is repairable.
It's hard for my to tell what you missed, because you didn't write what you did. So just follow installation instructions in the first post of maximus Rom. (flash new firmware, modified recovery, then Rom).

All of these steps work for me except flashing the recovery as a ZIP. I get the wrong CID error (code 42 if i remember correctly). Thing is, I flash the .img directly usign fastboot flash recovery and that works but then the install process says, in android, transfer ROM. At this point, I don't have access to the SD card and the ROM is not in my sd card (it was wiped anyway?)
*EDIT*
Ok I changed my CID to 1111111 and now it works to flash the firmware. I still get partitions errors it seems though.
What I did is flash the stock recovery, clear storage, factory reset, reflashed the firmware given in Maximus thread, then the TWRP given and still, I get problems with my sdcard not mounting?

if you are talking about mounting usb storage in recovery, then no, you cannot do that on Maximus HD rom. (it's a modified TWRP to work on the new firmware)
You can sideload in TWRP or ADB push the rom to your sdcard.
I would give you a link to a page describing it, but search is unavailable right now, have to try later.
But just search that thread with keyword sideload. There you will find the exact commands to load the rom onto your sdcard.

Hi i had the same problem with my htc one s.So i paniced and for some reason i put s-on(I deleted the os from the pc using mount storage) I managed to fix it by installing the recovery as zip. Then i tried to adb sideload a rom but it didn't work. So i went to boot loader then to fast boot and did fastboot flash zip Energyrom.zip. That gave me an error so i went back to recovery to try to side load the rom again, but my sdcard went back to 48mb.I reflashed the recovery (the one from install package) same thing . What do i do????? I need help asap i want my phone back (IM ONLY 12) Please reply asap.

I think the easiest way is to flash the stock recovery and then do a sdcard wipe then a factory reset.
After that, you go through the process as described in the maximus rom thread, you will have to flash with sideload. That should work afterward
I am doomed
Hi guys,
Yesterday I decided to try MaximusROM 10.0.0 HD on my HTC One S, which is s-OFF and with superCID. The problem is: I didn't flashed first the rom as it was said, and I just used the Installation Package, installing directly the firmware.zip and the modified recovery. I tried to follow the steps written before, but now my phone works with the stock rom but it says that there are only 48mb in sd card, and that means that I can't even take photos, because I have no memory left. I found out that my phone, when is booted up, in settings says that I have 15,96GB of space for applications. What can I do?

I tried to install the Maximus ROM from the dev thread, everything was fine until I had to flash the firmware and the recovery. After that, the phone restarted but was stuck at the loading screen, hence I could not mount the sdcard and transfer the ROM into it.
After that, I could not mound the sd card from recovery. I've tried numerous stuff, notably, flashing the stock recovery, clear storage, factory reset and then reinstalled a custom recovery and I still get a problem. Either I get a 0mb sd card in recovery or a 48mb but in both cases, there's errors while mounting them.
I'm not sure exactly how I could fix this problem now, I have read that the easiest is to flash an RUU but I have never did that and I'm not sure if my current setup is compatible with my RUU (which is Rogers).
Since I'm superCID, can I flash any RUU? If so, which one should I flash?
With supercid you can't flash OTA ZIP, you get bricked device.

I ended up working it out, it was a partition problem.
Also, no where on the thread of Maximus does it state that you can't mount in recovery and have to use sideload to make it work. Kind of confusing IMO as my device was not mounting anyway after the boot.

Hi folks
REALLY hoping somoene can help.
I have an HTC ons S (S4) which ive is rooted, Bootloader off, s-off, superCID 11111111.
I used TWRP to wipe data/cache/dalvik and installed Maximus HD rom.
Everything seemed fine until I checked storage on phone and I only had 2gb (should be 16gb...minus OS ofc)
So went back to TWRP, wiped, reinstalled and it asked me if i wanted to wipe (i think it was storage) and since there was nothing I really
needed on the phone i chose yes this time hoping it would fix storage size encounted first time (and opting not to wipe)
It did actually fix storage...its now back to full, I can see phone storage on PC, add / remove files from it...BUT!! now when i go
into TWRP it says:
Storage: Internal Storage (0 MB)
and I cannot see my files....I just see an empty TWRP folder and if jump up a folder I get
and-sec
boot
cache
data
dev
devlog
etc
internal_sd
license
proc
recovery
res
root
sbin
supersu
sys
system
tmp
usb-otg
but ALL these folders appear to be empty (
Ive checked ive got latest version of TWRP, tried an older version, tried clockwork recovery instead, but none of the recoverys will show
my storage (yet its fine on PC)
If anyone maybe knows how to fix the storage issue, id be extremely grateful for any help )
(hopefully without having to go back to stock...I had major nutache getting s-off, supercid etc done lol)
Thanks,
CUS.
I had a problem like this. I had to re-install the stock recovery, then run it and it fixed my problem. Others say you need to reset factory from the stock recovery.
In any case check this out - it's probably the same issue:

That's because you used the wrong recovery for 2.16 hboot. You shouldn't use a 2.15 recovery with 2.16 hboot
All the official TWRP builds are for 2.15 hboot and Maximus is a ROM for 2.16.

Oooh thanks for the reply Rapier!
I really like the maximus rom and would like to stick to it for the time being... if I were to re-install with a different custom recovery like clockwork
(could you suggest one please? ) , do you think this may fix the issue or have a screwed things up using TWRP to install maximus?

Best way to do it is by using the recovery linked in MaximusHD thread (in OP). Most 2.16 ROMs have a link to the proper recovery in their OP
Edit: I've checked MaximusHD thread, if you follow the installation instructions closely you'll notice that is a "install_package.rar" mentioned. The one that contains the 2.16 firmware AND the recovery. Use that one. Alternatively you can use a 2.16 recovery from other ROMs built for 2.16 like the unofficial CM11 or the Liberty or SixthSense ROMs by bilal_liberty. Any of those should be good to go with MaximusHD as well

...Thats actually the recovery that I used...the package contains TWRP but it was an older version so I did replace it with the latest version.
I think the problem is this (I know, I messed up )
I followed install instructions on maximus page as instructed...during install it asked if i wanted to wipe storage
(it might of said SD card, i cant remember) so I chose NO.
On completion when I plugged phone into PC to transfer files onto it, it only had 2GB storage
So I did a complete install again following install procedure from beginning on Maximus page, but this time when it asked if I wanted to wipe storage I chose YES (I didnt have anything i needed on it)
Now when I plug into PC I see the full 16gb and can add/delete files, but if I boot into recovery (either using TWRP or clockwork) I only see 48mb
so I cant backup, install other roms or anything
Would you have any more suggestions buddy?
....OMG, fixed it!. :laugh:
The ONE thing that screwed the install was ME trying to be good and keep everything updated to the lastest version!
Turns out the TWRP in the install package is actually a MODIFIED version especially for Maximus HD!
and using the latest (or a different) version gives you either the 0mb or 48mb issue!.
Thank you so much for the help that put me on the right track....after reading post after post, i finally spotted one that mentioned
it is a "modified" recovery!.

The ONE thing that screwed the install was ME trying to be good and keep everything updated to the lastest version!
Turns out the TWRP in the install package is actually a MODIFIED version especially for Maximus HD!
and using the latest (or a different) version gives you either the 0mb or 48mb issue!.
Thank you so much for the help that put me on the right track....after reading post after post, i finally spotted one that mentioned
it is a "modified" recovery!.

Yes, this is exactly what I've told you in my first post...you're using the wrong recovery for 2.16 hboot. You can still have the latest, there's a thread called "Unofficial TWRP..." and there you can find TWRP 2.7.1.0a-dm that is used by many for 2.16 hboot. I used it myself with SixthSense Liberty ROM and it's working
Sent from nowhere over the air...
Yes I see now, I did mis-read your post, I do apologize...
"That's because you used the wrong recovery for 2.16 hboot. You shouldn't use a 2.15 recovery with 2.16 hboot
All the official TWRP builds are for 2.15 hboot and Maximus is a ROM for 2.16. "
I unfortunately read that as TWRP will not work, I need a recovery that is for 2.16 (my bad)
"Maybe" would of been a little clearer to mention "Install package has a modified TWRP, use that "
It doesn't take much to confuse me I'm afraid.....I'm a total newbie to all this so have a hell of a lot to learn hehe
and having been trying to sort this for 2 days & nights, my brain was TOTALLY fried!
...Updated to twrp-2.7.1.0a-ville-dm as suggested...all working great!
Many thanks for all your help Rapier!....I honestly do REALLY appreciate it :good:
