Oh dear this looks really really bad! I hope someone can help me
I tried to install Slim ICS on my HTC one X. So I did a complete wipe and then I flashed Device_x.x.zip***, and then Slim_Common.zip
But now my phone keeps rebooting and rebooting and rebooting. There is nowhere to go, even if I go to recovery and try to wipe again it goes straight back to the Slim install screen and it starts rebooting again :crying:
Does anyone have any idea how I can get out of this loop?
Desperate here
No nandroid?

I am afraid not. Stupid I know :silly:
Happens to all of us lazy people or when Ur excited to flash ;P. I know the one x requires a flash of a certain file in order to work are u installing the right one?

I think I did yes. I did everything according to the instructions. I did install custom roms on this device before. No problems then. Whatever I do now it keeps going back to the install screen.
I'd recommend you check the md5 for the Rom if it fails download it through Ur pc and transfer via recovery menu (if your recovery supports it)

Will try and report back!
Thanks
now this is interesting. I downloaded HTC One X all in one kit
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...very_-_what_to_do_in_the_event_of_a_bad_flash
I then flashed another recovery program and that one DID let me clear cache etc. so no more install screen! However....when I want to flash a zip from sdcard it says no such file! Sdcard seems empty but I am 100 % sure I did not format that!
So question now is how do I install when it's not on my sdcard. you were saying transferring though recovery but how do I do that. Mount USB storage does not work: unable to open ums 1unfile. Oh my...I need a beer
Well I give up! I am now going to try to unroot and get back to stock since you can install stock rom through USB. Flashing stock recovery works....I got that far Now I have to wait a few hours for the rom dowload to finish so I guess I am going to get that beer now. I sure hope I don't have to throw my phone out of the window tonight
My phone is locked again, RUU, and SDARD works. Sorry for the drama but I really thought I bricked my phone. I think I will leave it alone tonight......and start rooting again tomorrow
Lol its all good. Sorry for leaving haha mw3 lol and I don't have the one x I got the LTE EVO

Hi guys ,just upgraded to a plain Sensation and id like to be rid of the htc crap...im a bit scared as ive had issues before (where i kind of ****ed up things and had to be rescued by fellow xdaers)
its running the stock ics.ive managed to root it and unlock the boot loader, the hboot is the 1.27 one thats a pain......how can i get into the groove in an easy turbo noob way...i have searched but just found everything a little intimidating
you shouldn't have unlocked the bootloader but no matter. follow the guide to s-off for sake of simplicity down the road.
honestly, of all the roms, I've been most happy with virtuous inquisition. It's a bit "aged" at this point, but in terms of stability, it's what's kept me.
It's still sense based, so all features still work, but beyond that, it's more or less an aosp experience.
give it a shot or one of the newer senseless / aosp style roms
ive got cw recovery installed and yes i still have s on.....is it just a case of placing the zip on the sd and installing from recovery?

you can flash roms even with S-ON but i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Try installing rom manager from the market then install cwm9.1.0 from within the app. It is fast, stable and vanilla. I tried it, but I missed all the sense stuff so I reverted back to stock.
ok so is now the time to panic?i did as brusko suggested...and ticked all the options....wipe back up and install.....now im just stuck at the cyanogen boot screen........ok im freaking now..heeelp when i used to use my ols sgs i9000 i had a set of progs and files i could rescue it with....is there such thing for this?

actually because you are S-ON the recovery doesn't flash the boot.img by itself(has not the ability to write the boot partition)
that's why i suggested you to flash the 4ext recovery because it has the feature for enable the smartflash
other solution is to follow the extra 1 part of the thread that i provided you in my previous post
if the one fails try the other
best wishes
Oops! Didn't know you had stock recovery. just flash 4ext recovery and the 1 extra step like the post above mentioned. goodluck!
---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------
Don't panic. It happened to me too! Use this tool to flash 4ext recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404
start your device when you get to the cyanogen boot screen, plug your device to your computer using usb cable, then start up the all in one tool kit, and flash 4ext recovery. Then boot into recovery if doesnt do it for you. In 4ext recovery chose toggle usb and transfer a rom in zip format to your sd (I chose ARHD 6.7.2)then chose disconnect. now choose install zip file from sd and flash the rom you just transferred. reboot device, install rom manager again from the market and install cwm 9.1.0 from within the rom manager. This should fix your problem! this is how I fixed mine Goodluck!

Quite a smart looking paperweight tho... ;]
But seriously folks..
Yeah man I think 3.32 is fine. I'm on 3.33 myself, but I've read numerous posts with users of 3.32 with no problems.
Check the OPs of both threads for full installation instructions - particularly around S-on/S-off as (without looking) I think Bruce's needs off and I think DragunKorr's is OK with on, but I'm sure after rooting and installing 4ext, you should be fine.
One more thing - nothing wrong with being a noob. Everybody was at one time and people who flame others for asking "noobish" questions should **** off and find something better to do.
So earlier i attempted to do the 2.2 root.
i managed to get as far as rooting, installing superuser and CWM
now, the problem is when i went to flash the rom, i tried to run the super wipe, but was getting errors about the sdcard not being able to be mounted. and the wipe was not performed/failed/aborted etc
i tried to run flash the rom still, it loaded, but still gave an error at the end and did not work.
reboot the phone, and i get the HTS quietly brilliant screen with red text that says"this build is for development purposes only...." and from here it does nothing but constantly reboot to this screen.
i am able to get to the bootloader screen, and fastboot works.
ive tried factory resetting the phone, as well as using the CWM recovery. i am unable to do any. as the CWM cannot write to e:\sd card
its not mounted, and i cannot mount it, when i try to reformat the sd card, it says it is unmounted.
mount usb storage was not working either, and said files were missing.
i read on other threads about needing the sd card reformatted, but the one x has an internal card.
please help
i feel like it can be fixed, but im really worried my phone is bricked
eta: i tried to revert to the stock ruu, but i think i should have read it more clearly.
so i guess i flashed the ruu that was NOT 2.2
now my CWM is gone, and i can only get onto the bootloader and fast boot
under fastboot devices my device's serial does show up
ETA: i reflashed with twrp, managed to wipe my sdcard, and am now able to mount.
from here my phone is still not able to boot up.
i can attempt to run the super wipe, but am still getting an error

im trying to install the Android Revolution HD 9.7.2 Ice Cream Sandwich
it allows me to choose settings, and such and start install.
after starting install, it goes through the files and such, but when it gets to /system/lib/ it just closes on itself, and goes back to twrp screen and recovery home. the rom never finishes installing. right now im gonna re-download the rom and see if that works.
if i cannot install the custom rom, how can i go back to stock exactly?
do i need to find the stock ruu?
fixed it.
turns out im stupid and was using a rom not compatible with this phone.
i flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907324 so far, and it seems to be working
however, i prefer something closer to stock. can anyone suggest a rom?
hopefully you aren't using cwm anymore and flashed twrp for the evita.

I didn't even have to use the search function. 2 are near the top of General. The remaining has slipped past the first page, but its still pretty high up there.
People who flash a ROM for the international version are simply neglecting to do any basic reading and learning before flashing things willy-nilly, that's my point.
thanks for the help guys. i flashed viper xl yesterday night right after, loving it thus far. i was just so used to the sense keyboard already, and hated the cramped jb keyboard, and this rom has simple little tweaks
i did read, but i guess not thoroughly enough. in hindsight, i wasnt aware that the one x was different than the xl, its fairly easy to miss that the other roms are not compatible with this phone. and is completely different alltogether.
if i had known that, i wouldnt have flashed cwm, and would not have need to post a help thread. all "solutions" i attempted on my own were based off readings of the hox, rather than the evita, once again causing more problems. it was easily enough fixed once i figured that bit of information out.
i am a noob, but this phone is not my first time rooting, so with my prior knowledge i felt i was more than ready to tackle this rom flashing, im sure plenty of others will make the same mistake as i did.
the other phones ive rooted and flashed had their one model of phone only, so all the roms available were compatible.
im just glad my phone is not bricked, and i now have root access

From what others are saying, the newer hboot that came with 2.20 is write protected. Hboot can't be overwritten by flashing a ROM for the international One X. ROM just fails to flash, and you get a recoverable condition like this one, as opposed to hard bricks on the older hboot.
Yea, at least there's one good thing that came with the dreaded update

Hi guys. Loving the forums - I've been a watcher for a while, but have only just joined.
I'm having trouble installing most ROMs. They all hang at the opening screen, or continually reboot depending on which one it is. I've tried flashing boot.img with no success. I've had luck with Stuart's ROM, but was really hoping to find a stable ROM with Jelly Bean.
I've read through the noob guides and FAQs, done a heap of searches but can't find the answer, yet I'm sure I'm not the first with this issue. It looks like this guy was having the same problems, but he posted in the wrong area and I can't find a follow up...
I've rooted and unlocked all ok, can access bootloader and TWRP without any issues.
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Or know where this has been answered before? Thanks a mil.

Give the members here more details. What exactly interests you in JB ROMS? What have you been trying to flash? What are you on right now?
If you wish to have a great Rom with no nonsense I'd suggest to you ViperXL. It's foolproof. I too asked questions after tons of research and tutorials. Asking questions is better than banging your head. And of course stick to this this forum for ROMS and you'll avoid a cool looking paperweight.

Thanks Jon. I'm after Jelly Bean primarily to check out Google Now. I head up digital customer experience for a big Aussie company and am interested to see how it might help our customers (READ: Really I want to know how it can help me!)
I was on a rooted stock Telstra ROM but couldn't get the OTA JB update to work. I tried ViperXL 3.0.0, CyanogenMOD 10 and Tachi91's v2.1 MOD. ViperXL is what I want to run ideally.
Currently on Scott's CleanROM 5.1. I'm running One XL with Firmware 2.20.502.7.
By all means download Viper and flash that bad boy. Firmware 2.20 and Viper are good friends. No need to flash .img separately. While you're at it, check out some kernels in the Venom Hub.
You came to the right place for help though. Never think you can't ask a quesrion hers if you think research hasn't answered it for you.
I've been trying Google Now but it's not doing much for me. Still playing with it.

First and foremost, go into recovery (twrp) and make a backup. The backup is just that, a backup in case something goes wrong.
Now that you have a backup, plug your phone into you pc (assuming that's what you have) and select your phone to be mounted as storage.
Next, open your file location for your phone.
Next, locate Viper Rom.
Now, copy Viper (just drag and drop) it into your phones sd card.
Ok. Now you should copy your backup you made in twrp previously. Now you have it backed up in two locations.
Let's get started:
Boot into recovery (twrp).
Select Wipe and do the next 4 steps INSIDE twrp!
Now wipe dalvick cache.
Now wipe cache.
Now wipe system.
Now do a factory reset.
Now Select Install in twrp.
Find your Viper folder zip.
Select it.
Swipe to flash!
Follow Aroma Installer options to your liking.
Please be patient as it takes a while. Also, when it first boots it takes a while.
Any more questions, just ask us

That sucks but it will be fun to learn about all the tweaks and such. I would go back to the Venom thread and flash the 2.4.0-->::2.4.1 update. I did the ota reset file too. Same thing you did before by wiping but you don't do or need a factory reset. Just flash those files in twrp. All up to date then.

Hmm. Viper 3.0.0 really did not work and I followed the instructions closely. Perhaps I will try Viper 2.4.0 and then, if successful, look at updating my kernel, and then updating to 3.0.0? Current kernel is 3.0.8-01558-g7f75e5b Could this be causing me problems?

Before you started to install Viper 3.0.0, what we're you on?
Sure, if let's say you had-Viper 2.4.0 but wishing to go to 3.0.0, THEN you need to flash the boot img separate since its a JB Rom.
The directions I provided are fool proof and the other user had success. So I'm wondering what you started out on before you loaded the Rom.
--------------------
Also, Viper and CleanRom are identical in the fact you DON'T need to extract the boot.img from the Rom zip as long as its under 3.0.0 (if flashing Viper). It's basically pointing twrp to the Viper zip and swiping to goodness.

The directions I provided are fool proof and the other user had success. So I'm wondering what you started out on before you loaded the Rom.

So I've finally had success! Installed both 3.0.0 and 2.4.1 - I realised that I was much better off on 2.4.1 with all the venom tweaks than on 3.0.0 for seemingly not much more OS-wise, especially since I want to bypass my corporate exchange security policy, and Google Now was available as a mod.
Turns out I was trying to install on top of ROMs that wouldn't boot, and when I was trying to install from working ROMs, I wouldn't think to go back in to make sure debugging was on and fast boot was off.
The key things I've learned (which I initially missed in my initial scan of pages and pages of forum posts):
You need to install from a stable ROM that will let you boot into it
...because having a stable ROM will allow you to make sure the fast boot setting in the Power settings is off and USB debugging is on in Developer tools
You may need to flash boot.img if you're running bootloader 1.13 or above - even if the ROM installer instructs you not to
boot.img must be flashed before the installation, not after
They might sound obvious now, but this might hopefully help anyone else in my situation.
Thanks for all your help guys!

Good to hear you got it up and running. Viper was recommended to me and man once I played with it and tweaked it I'm having a hard time wanting to flash anything else. If I do its going to be 3.0.0. The tweaks and ElementalX kernel are just unreal.
P.S. Hitting the Thanks button is a good way to show your appreciation.

Here is what I did....
HTC One X (ATT). Unlocked and rooted yesterday. (TWRP)
Today tried to install CM10 and GApps, got stuck on CM bootscreen, then I flashed the boot.img and it still did not work....then my immediate next step (probably stupidly) was to flash modded boot...still did not work....I just got to HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom and nothing else....
So I got into TWRP and restored to my backup (which I was able to do before the above) and just got to the same HTC screen with red type on the bottom......now I started to panic.
I tried to relock the phone...and I did but now I cant go anywhere but the fastboot screen!!!!
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you relocked already just run the ruu in fastboot and restore to stock.

Just read read and read more..be comfortable first than you'll be fine and know how to get out of any situation
Just read up and give it another go.....like anything else, sometimes you need certain thing to happen to learn....good luck.
Just saying, you flashed the boot.img after flashing the rom and gapps? The boot.img is flashed before flashing the rom
It can be done either way.
ive been seeing alot of new members soft bricking this way should read though this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957193 it explains every thing for ppl on hboot 1.14 and higher.

That is what is supposed to happen. Once you relock, you need to run the RUU. It won't boot otherwise.
I am unlocked and rooted again.....ready to try again...
I want to leave the phone alone but I cant help myself.......Anyone else have this issue???
I know what you mean, when i first got my one x and learned of rooting, i felt i was claustrophobic with normal stock. I Read and read and read some more, before I even thought about flashing roms. But I Recommenced flashing Viper JB 3.1.0 As it basically installs the boot img in the boot-loader for you. I also recommend Cm 10.1, except it does not have camera working as of yet. If you dont mind not having a camera, cm 10.1 is a very smooth rom. Also remember if flashing certain roms like cm 10. dalvik, cache and factory reset, as well as flashing the boot img are required for the rom to work. Good luck
