Can somebody help me?
I just bricked my One X, I had it rooted with recovery, the original Rom, I just tried to install an app to modify fonts and it bricked.
At first it stopped in the screen of HTC one and beats audio, atying to recover it I think I messed things up, because now It stopps in HTC quietly brilliant (sorry for my english). It does not recognize it my PC in fastboot and it does not have enough battery charge.
Can please anybody help me? I'd appreciate any advice!
Thanks!
If it turns on it's not bricked, get it to bootloader, then into recovery, and put it on charge for a while.
Also, you need to tell us exactly what you did to try to recover it, so we know what we're dealing with.

does not sound super alarming...start by charging your battery and let's see if you can get into recovery ?

It turns on, it stops in the HTC screen, it also gets into recovery, I tried to recover it, trying to erase cache, but it did not work, then I tried a factory reset, with no results. HBOOT does not recognize it in my PC.
Do you still have a ROM on your sd card? You could do a full wipe (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system) and flash it again.
You mentioned you did a factory reset, if you did that in recovery you're fine but if you did it in bootloader you've corrupted your sd card and it will need to be formatted.
In that case you will need to work out why your pc isn't recognizing your phone. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed, then you can mount the phone in recovery and format it in Windows. And if need be copy a ROM across to flash.

How do I install that recovery if my PC doesn't detect my HTC?
Do what I said and work out why your pc doesn't recognize your phone. Using fastboot to flash TWRP 2.6 is really your only option right now. So, make sure you have the correct drivers installed and make sure you have fastboot installed.

Installing adb/fastboot is simple, have a look here. Also go to htc.com and go to the download section on the One XL page, and download the latest HTC Sync. Install that and you'll have the right drivers.
Secondly, you might need to try a different usb cable and/or usb port to get your pc to recognise your phone.

I've just been assuming you have the Evita this whole time because you're posting in the Evita forum.
Before we go any further we need to identify your device. Boot into bootloader and tell us what it says, Evita or Endeavour?

yes. relock your bootloader
from bootloader type fastboot oem lock
then you can flash the 1.85 RUU
just run the file from windows.
After that you can unlock with the same unlock token you got when you unlocked in the first place
then you can install recovery again
but the ruu requires the phone to be on and usb debugging on

Once you have them installed you'll have to reboot in to fastboot and install the official 1.85 RUU.
Also so you know I had a similar experience when I was on cleanrom 2.6 and tried to format and go to 3.0. I had to relock the bootloader, RUU to stock and install a different rom cause 3.0 would just never install for me for whatever reason, it would always bootloop back in to recovery. However I had backed up my NANDROID to my PC so I copied it back over to my SD card after I was on stock then restored it then did an in-place upgrade to 3.1 which worked. I was able to install cleanrom 4 after a wipe without issue.
Okay so today I was tinkering with my phone when I accidentally deleted a system file that was crucial. So I went to bootloader and wiped phone (I know that was the wrong thing to do, now). So I have no ROM on my phone. I was able to ADB the ROM I need to my phone on internal storage (not /sdcard) but the problem is whenever I try to flash it, I get the following error over and over in the code area in TWRP "E: failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument). I've gone to the mount options screen and when I try to select sdcard nothing happens, I can't select it. If it's any help, the ROM I'm trying to flash has the official page here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804223 and the ROM I was on before this whole thing is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236 . Any help is greatly appreciated, I really need this phone fixed!
EDIT: Alright, so I flashed stock recovery, relocked, and then used my friend's PC (thanks man!) and now my phone is in perfect working condition. Just re-rooted and re-unlocked the bootloader in like 10 minutes, which is funny because it took me like an hour and a half the first time. Anyways, thank you to all the users on this forum for helping me. Appreciate it!
NEVER Factory Reset or Clear Storage from bootloader it'll screw up your storage inside of twrp. I tried formatting storage afterwards in twrp and in windows and it still didn't help twrp see it. I ended up running the ruu again.
easiest thing to do is run the ruu again, reunlock bootloader, flash twrp and flash rom. then never factory reset or clear storage in bootloader again.
if you find another method let me.

Okay, sorry what what's the ruu and how do I run it again?
EDIT: So is the ruu the stock ROM? I've done some googling and it appears that it's something to do with exe file. I'm on a Mac, but I can get access to a PC if it's necessary.

And youll have to learn some simple adb commands tto relock your bootloader..or it won't work someone correct me if wrong
Hi guys yep you'll need to do some adb work to relock for ruu. However... if you still have recovery? You could try flashing a clean ROM. Then flash the cm10 over that. Of course youll need to delete cache,s before flashing cm10. I'd give that a shot first.
(Edit) I just noticed you having the mount issue also... ignore that. Just check you PC it should still show up. And it may ask you to format the drive? Your OK to do that fat32.

subarudroid, the sdcard partition is fubar that's why he needs to ruu. reread the posts.

He needs to relock bl and ruu ..download aan ruu. That will be ok. If you need help with adb check out gunnymans stickied thread
Easiest way to fix is to connect phone to pc, then select mount, mount usb in twrp and windows will prompt you to format.
Then once that is done you can copy your rom of choice across unmount and flash.

Twrp is known for having mount issue. I'm tell in ya if you USB to PC it will still find the SD as long as you have the HTC drivers installed. Unless your twrp is gone? Then you need to ruu.

Yes, I still have recovery and twrp is not letting me mount sd card. I'm trying to get the ruu to work, however, I have a Mac and getting it to work in a third party program like Wine or Parallels isn't easy, but I'm making progress. If there's another way to run the ruu on Mac, let me know.

I was using just a little sarcasm about cwm. that second thread does in fact discuss the problem with twrp as well. I just hate to see rolltribe go though all the trouble of ruu when it may be possible not to do so.

Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I am new to rooting the device. I rooted HTC One X (AT&T) using toolkit by Hasoon2000. I followed all the steps as per my knowledge. Everything went good rooting the device, But when I tried to flash CM 10.1 it was giving me failure error. When I did second time it gave me same error but somehow I thought ROM got flashed and went ahead and flashed kernel. While doing so my cell phone battery was till 50% but once I flashed kernel. Suddenly screen went blank and couldn't turn it on. When try to go into fastboot mode it lights up red led and once and stays there until I hit the power button. After hitting power button it shows the HTC logo and displays the message below logo about device being used for development. then within a second screen gets turned off (no red LED) I tried to keep for charging for at least an hour or so with computer as well as on AC power but results are same. Neither I am able to connect it to computer or charge it. I don;t know what is going on with my device. So please can someone help me with this issue? I would really appreciate if this issue been resolved.
Thanks in Advance.

Flash TWRP 2.6 if you're not using that version already.
fastboot flash recovery twrpfilename.img
Download cm 10.1 Check md5 to make sure download was good. Also, make sure you're downloading the one for our device. Link will be in original android dev section.
wipe everything (except sd card) in twrp 2.6
then flash cm 10.1
If you get an error, tell me what the error is.

Thanks you very much exad. Is it important to have S-OFF? Can I install android 4.3 ROM on HTC One X. Have you tried that? How can I check md5 to make sure CM is good?
S-off allows you to ruu without bricking.
Yes. I am running android 4.3 cm 10.2 right now. There have been bricks reported though that issue should be fixed now.
Use an md5 checker program. Google md5 checker.

I have flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7.img but when I want to go to recovery it is still sticking on that HTC logo screen, giving message in red and getting it off. I don't know what I can do to go in recovery and do the needful.
Could you also provide me link to instruction to install CM 10..2 with that as well?
Thanks

If you are able to boot into recovery, then you should be able to use the command <code> adb push <code>to copy any file from your current directory in computer to the sdcard

Even after installing TWRP 2.6 I am not able to flash the ROM. It is saying:
No MD5 file found.

Wrong ROM. You have evita not endeavour.
Look before you download and flash wrong recovery and ROM because you are on track to brick your device. You have burnt 2 of your lives already.
You have no idea how lucky you are as your device should already be broken.

I think I have installed CM 10.1.2 for evita but now it is not rebooting into ROM. I am not able to reboot automatically. I have press and hold power and volume down key to go into fastboot. I am not getting what I am doing wrong now.

Ok. But listen to what Twisteddx said just before, take your time and make sure you're only flashing things meant for your device. He was right, you're EXTREMELY lucky you haven't bricked your phone yet. Only download ROMs from within this forum!

If you are s-on you need to extract the boot.img from the rom you're flashing and fastboot flash boot boot.img or it won't boot. With S-off this step is no longer required.
