I have been reading for the last couple weeks, thinking I have an answer and end up further into the hole.
Rogers HTC One X / EVITA / HBOOT 2.14. / 2.4 TWRP initially, now 2.6 / Unlocked boot loader / s-on
1. Started trying to flash AOKP 4.2.2. Flashed boot.img, then followed with TWRP recovery. All I could get was the language screen and then it stalled. Tried numerous iterations of this with various wipes and flash first and flash after.
2. Next tried Viper 3.2.7. All good till it gets to startup screen then it stops (I understand Viper has its boot.img installed to start not needing it flashed).
3. While trying various wipes to see if it would install completely I mistakenly did a factory reset! Now no OS! No Nandroid! No ROM.zip!
4. To get a ROM on SDCard tried ADB sideload thru TWRP. after running script it says unable to mount SDCARD! Suggests I reboot system! Now a little leery of rebooting for fear it will not.
5. Also tried to MOUNT HTV via TWRP on to laptop. Did not recognize said ti initialize. Formatted FAT 32 (via MAC). Now will not mount SD Card. I did drop Viper.zip into mount (cache and system OK) but can not find it using FILE MANAGER via TWRP
6. Now am in BOOTLOADER screen of Android. Thought I could flash a ROM but from what I read it does not look possible.
Can any one point me in the right direction to get this thing up and running. At this point, as much as I am learning all the time, it does me no good having my phone down for two weeks (sure glad I kept my Nexus One).
Any answer at this stage is a good answer and I appreciate all input!
Thanks

Sounds like you did a factory reset in bootloader which corrupts the sd card after unlocking the bootloader. You used to be able to just mount it on pc and format it but after the jb update I don't think that's possible due to the drive no longer being a mass storage device but an mtp device instead. There was a method to fix it developed by team nocturnal but it looks like the site is inaccessible right now. I'll see if there's a way to fix it and get back to you. Bear with me.
[/COLOR]By any chance have you tried wiping sd card in twrp 2.6?
Also, have done SuperCID yet?

SuperCID has not been done. It is S-ON presently.
I wiped SD Card as suggested. Saw it set up partitions. And now TWRP shows up when I mount . Can I just drop a ROM in and flash via TWRP? Any suggestions for a ROM. Could not get AOKP 4.2.2 to run or Viper 3.2.7.
Thanks for the quick assist at getting it to MOUNT.
Flash a stock sense rom and then fastboot flash boot boot.img extracted from the rom. Then use jet to downgrade hboot and SuperCID and then s-off. It'll save you lots of headaches.

It all sounds simple when you say it.
I will find a stock sense ROM to install then follow with boot.img.
Is it necessary to wipe anything more then Dalvik and Cache?
Thanks again.

In twrp 2.6 the factory reset wipes everything except sd card and system. You don't have to wipe system but I always do when I'm flashing a new rom.

Hey all -
I've done a fair amount of reading regarding this issue, to no avail. My programming knowledge is limited but I do have experience rooting and flashing ROMs on another device. Anyway....Rooted, unlocked bootloader, flashed CWM 5.8.3.1. Following this, I downloaded MIUI.us v4 2.6.22 ICS on my SD card, factory reset, and flashed it via CWM.
Seems to work alright, but I cannot access my SD card from anywhere. MIUI won't recognize it, CWM says it can't be mounted. I somehow created a partition on the SD through CWM, but it did not help. I tried re flashing CWM, with similar results. Not sure as to what the next step would be - re flash MIUI, relock bootloader/flash stock RUU...? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

The built in storage is still seen as an sd card by the OS. That's why its path is /sdcard.
But yeah, the first thing I would do would be to relock your bootloader and run an RUU.

Well i was trying to install cleanROM 5.1 and cleanKERNEL on my HOX, but every time i would try it would say failed (unable to mount /sdcard, etc.) so i wiped my cache, did a factory reset, wiped external storage, then accidentally did a system reset so i have no OS installed now, i was running 2.20 before but found a tut to unlock bootloader and root. in bootloader it says ***tampered*** and ***unlocked***
So if i have a custom recovery installed that means im rooted right?
and basically what can i do to install this rom and kernel without an error

You have to plug it in to computer, open up "my computer" and click it... It'll ask you to reformat sdcard. Once its done, download cleanrom on your computer, mount your sdcard in trwp, and drag it onto your phone. open up recovery on your phone and flash entire rom :thumbup:

I have the same problem with my galaxy nexus but I don't have an external sd card, it's all internal only. I wiped my cache partition, I don't know why, then my cwm recovery was changed to twrp where I wiped my system. How do i fix it? Pls help!!

Just wanted to let you know that you are in the wrong forum. This is the HTC One XL forum, you need to ask your question in the Galaxy Nexus forum. That will be the best place to get an answer.

You have to flash the boot.img separately. There are only about 100 threads on this issue.
I was flashing over clean rom from my old paranoid android and I was stupid and formated my sd card from the fastboot screen on the phone. I read on XDA that the thing to do is mount, format on computer, place rom on sdcard and install.
The rom is currently on my sd card after I formatted from computer. I am in TWRP and was under install and found the rom zip but it tells me "This operation may install incompatible software and render your device unuseable"
I stopped to ask before I make an expensive paperweight. How do I proceed?
I've never seen twrp say that... I wiped my SD card back in the day and can't remember anything like that. Are you on 1.14 Hboot? Maybe you need to adb boot.IMG first? As long as your sure its Evita ROM should be ok

This is normal. In the last 3 days I've flashed Roms back and forth and twrp WILL list this but only as a warning. It's perfectly fine. It's like a condition to cover everyone's butt except yours, since you (the owner) have taken the opportunity to change software on your phone.
If you've gotten to that screen that means you got the Rom on your sd card. Don't forget to wipe all data and a reset ALL inside of twrp. Flash away!

Reverse the order you typed in your last post. Some Roms give that option before its flashed. However, just do it yourself. Clear cache, dalvick cache, wipe system and then factory reset ALL INSIDE twrp. Don't factory reset outside of twrp.
THEN install Rom from twrp. Notice the warning you mentioned and simply follow the install directions.

Good lord this is terrifying. haha so I installed it and now its bootlooping. I wiped in that order and everything.

Hey Guys,
I am a new user of the HTC ONE S which I got this march. I have basically no knowledge of adb, but I used the all in one toolkit to unlock my bootloader and install TWRP. My HBoot version is 2.15.0000 with S-ON.
I have the following issue:
By mistake, I wiped the system using TWRP. I now do not have an operating system on my phone. I tried the method suggested here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459. I was able to format my SD card to FAT 32, and place the ROM on the root of my Sd card. Then, I booted into TWRP and am able to view the rom, but when I tried to flash it, it gives me errors. I am unable to mount cache, dalvik, and the sd card. Aroma installer does not work, nor does the factory RUU found in the dev section. I also tried placing a nandroid backup on my phone (found in dev) for TWRP, but I cant see it in recovery, while my computer can.
I have tried almost all the solutions, can someone please help me.
Note : Please be kind and patient while explaining it to me, I am a noob who needs step by step instructions. Thank you in advance.
It also does not mount usb - otg.
If you can get to the bootloader you might want to just try an RUU. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140967
It would take you back to complete stock and you can start over.
From your post, I'm guessing you already tried pushing a zip through adb.

Thank you for your reply.
Just to clarify, I CAN use my card perfectly on the computer and copy ROMs etc. The TWRP runs the ROM.zip, but because the system, cache etc is not mounted, installation fails. I tried the method linked in the first post, as well as the stock OTA with no success. So, I would like to know how to run the RUU.exe

Try this walk through. Just make sure you download the right RUU.

Hey, I thank you for your help. All I needed to do was update my TWRP to version 2.5, and it mounted everything and now I am running a great custom rom. Thank you for your help.
Hey,
i am a owner of a Rogers HTC one X (evita)
I did brick it, to a point where i'm stuck and don't know what to do.
My phone was already unlocked, with clockwork in, superuser and such, but i was rolling on stock RUU.
I decided to try over cyanogen nightly, wich i did in the past, and i felt like i want to give it a try again.
So i download it to my phone, open clockwork, install from SD ... everything worked like a charm.
Then... when i booted on the ROM, it shut down after the htc logo.
So at this moment i said.. well no worry i'll go see what's wrong. So i went back in clockwork.
I cleared the cache, dalvik and such... and i (yes forgive me for this one!) restore default settings .... and probably lost the ROM in the phone.
So... i decide to see if it's still in the phone .. so i went in "install from SD" ... then, cannot find \SD card.... shoosh.
I try to go in mount/unmount ... cannot find SD card ....
I still have access to bootload, to flash up some stuff. But whatever i do, i cannot access my internal memory in the phone ... Or transfert a rom (if there is a magic trick somewhere please tell me!)
SO i'm stuck with a one x with a boot that crash ... And a clockwork wich i can do nothing with.
Any clues?
Never mind, I misread, didn't see the part where you said recovery can't see sd card.

Plug it into a pc and format sd card the factory reset in bootloader corrupta the sd card. After getting sd card straight get rid of cwm and flash twrp 2.3.3.1, nothing higher... Then wipe cache from fastboot. Copy Rom to sd card and install again after wiping system, and caches from recovery. If you are on hboot 1.14 or higher with s-on you have to flash boot.img from fastboot.

Well the thing his, i figure it out, was able to get access to my SD card with TWRP ... So i'm good now
But ...
Whatever ROM i put in, i dont have access to my touchscreen. I've red several guide on how to downgrade, and i totally understand how to do it.
So .. i need to get in debugging mode in a rom to start with (not superCID S-on) ... But how can i get to there if my touchscreen doesnt work ! ARGG !
So i'm trying to find a ROM somehow that uses the most recent touchscreen software .. So i can get in debugging mode and start it over.
All rom i've found i have no access to the touchscreen.
And getting back to stock is impossible (the RUU fail to install).
So what's next?
