how did you flash it? did you wipe data/cache/Dalvik-cache before? what about a nandroid backup to restore from sdcard ? that rom seems to be buggy...

hello! i also have an inspire which i rooted for the first time 2 days ago and then flashed with android revolution rom and it works great!
but i also spent 2 days reading before doing it and from what i understand in your case as long as you can access recovery you are fine. just use a card reader to place a new zip file with a any rom on your sdcard. access recovery wipe everything (i used the script available in the android revolution thread) and reflash a new rom. also be careful not to be impatient because the first boot will take longer i almost removed the battery also because phone was stuck on the htc screen but after a while it finished and the lock screen came up so glad i waited. this was my first time so plz correct me if i am wrong. hope this helps!

yes something like that ! his phone is not "ruined" :laugh: but he is afraid of that ! but as I said that rom is buggy ... your anwer is very good ! but tell me because I am curious about that long time to boot after flashing... how long it takes to boot for the first time ?
is good to spend days before flashing !

If att claims gave you an inspire in place of a captivate you should call claims back and get a free skyrocket.
Just thought i would give ex captivate owners - now inspire users a heads up on that tip.

usually for Android phones to enter recovery/download mode you have to check a combo of vol up/down after power button is pressed try it !

yes very interesting do you have one what model ?
usually you need it to network-unlock phone or to flash a bootloader if phone is bricked
also it can solve a known problem "dead phone after unlock"

I think it can.. But i am not having one.. Sorry.. I was just guiding you..

htc one x ( australia ) errors / root / rom

Okay i've posted across 5 different forums, 3 chat sites and googled for the past 7 hours..
i need help and i need it badly / fast
i rooted my phone, perfect nothing went wrong.
UNTIL! i installed MIUI's rom... and then the problems began..
i followed a guide that the person just so happen'd to forget to add that we need to save and back up.. so yeah no backup
and a rom i cant get into, so i cant flash the updated rom from miui onto the phone to get past the lock screen.. it locks up and causes a reboot,
ive tried to find the RUU for my phone( vodafone / AU / but cant find it. )
could someone please help me either get my phone back to stock or an updated rom of some kind so i can actually use my phone / get into it..
first time rooting anything from htc, i used to jailbreak my iphone 4 but gave it up for a htc one x..
please help me

I rooted my HTC one x Voda- hutch, installed font installer changed font and got boot looped. I then flashed arhd 9.7 boot.IMG using fastboot. As my phone is s on and I had to. then used recovery to install the whole Rom. Worked great when I finally figgured it out as no other recovery method would work with s-on it seemed.

FIXED! thanks all, figured it out, there was a fastboot command missed when following this stupid guide.

Glad it works.
Just in case (perhaps for others too). Your phone is HTC One X from Vodafone Australia right? In the future, be sure to post questions in the International model forum; yours is an international Tegra 3 HTC One X (endeavoru).

Can't flash a ROM. Help!

I can get it to get into recovery mode, but it wont go any further than the red lettered warning banner. I tried to flash the ROM from the clockwork mod app from the market. No luck. My phone is not in the list of phones in the "Flash clockwork mod recovery". I tried to flash the 5.8.4.0 endeavoru.img file to my phone, but in my command prompt on my computer, it doesn't recognize my command as a batch command or anything. Any help folks? I was trying to find a stick on rooting, unlocking bootloader, and then flasing roms, but to my surprise I didn't find them all in one. I don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point. Spent a few hours last night, and now it all seems like a blur. Help please!

Do some research first because seems like u don't have even a custom recovery or even roooted... Now also never install anything that says endeavour or you will **** up your phone enough said...now do u have att one x or rogers telstra

WOAH, STOP RIGHT THERE.
endeavoru.img IS THE WRONG IMAGE!!!! I can smell a brick!!! the endeavoru image is for the quad core tegra one x. I am assuming you have a OneXL or one of the other Qualcomm DUAL CORE One X's
Our phone is called EVITA.
If you have a non ATT one x like a Telstra One XL or rodgers go to htcdev website.
If you have a ATT version I have recently found out that some versions cannot be rooted, and root is needed to unlock the bootloader. If it has ATT logo on the top where HTC should be, then you need to know the version number of your current rom before putting in any more effort to unlock. Check settings>about phone>
Check the forum in the One X Android Development/[INDEX] AT&T/ROGERS One X Resources Compilation Roll-Up (Updated 10/2/12) for the versions that can be rooted/unlocked.
Hope this helps
-Liam

mine is the ATT version......
My phone isn't bricked yet...phew. SO....going to get the EVITA then. right? for ATT version?

First thing is first you need to know the version of the stock rom you have, go to settings/about phone, I believe that if your version is greater than 1.85 then you are pretty screwed. You can only wait until A) ATT allow unlocking B) someone finds an exploit. If your One X is brand new, I doubt it is 1.85 as this is an old version.

Many phones are still being sent out with 1.85/1.73:angel: and to op DONT use clock word mod oonce you root and unlock bootloader I will show u which recovery to flash

WOW, Thats good. Ours are shipped with the latest, well at least my sisters one was. I thought she would have been screwed, But I was able to unlock with HTCDEV
@omario8484, is there a reason for not using CWM? I have it on my OneXL. I got the touch version, TWRP is good I guess, but I am more familiar with the CWM interface.

Yes use twrp because USB mount works also some Tom's like he said will have problems

Ok, I got it all sorted. Out. My main problem is I didn't know what the goo interface let me do. Once I found out then it was cake from there. I'm loving this AOKP one so far.

Maybe the play store app?

I don't see a play store app in the app tray at all. and when I press the PLAY STORE option in the menu tray, it does nothing.

[Q] Is there a way to completely wipe HTC One XL?

Ok... so, I'll admit it, I messed up my One X. Was trying to put CM10 on it, got stuck on the blue, circular boot screen. Tried several fixes from the forums, but nothing worked. One attempted fix even ended up writing over TWRP. Now all I can get is HTC boot screen (complete with red wording beneath) and occasionally the CM10 screen. The fastboot screen says "tampered" and "unlocked".
Here's my situation. AT&T is sending another phone. I have to send this one back to them, and I just want to make sure that they can't figure out I was trying to install a third-party ROM. Is there a way to completely wipe the device altogether so that I just won't even try to boot?
If not, I'll just take my chances that they don't know what to look for besides water/physical damage and won't charge me full price for the replacement.
Any help is appreciated.

Your device is in a completely fixable state but ok...if u want to make it so your device doesn't turn on at all flash a Rom called ice cold jelly ...if youother wise the best you can do is have it say relocked and they would know you unlocked the bootloader...

don't flash ICJ, just relock bootloader and ruu.
if you have no physical damage why are you getting a replacement phone?

Did you flash boot.img?
And how about you not ask how to defraud att because you don't know how to flash and fix a botched flash.

All I can think is, at least he did not throw it under his car.
It can be salvaged, where as other clown just destroyed it for nothing.

Brother, if you can tell me how to fix this thing, I am all ears. I don't want to replace it, but after trying so many different ways to fix it from the forums I just kind of gave up.
If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it!
Thanks for the reply.

I did flash boot.img. It just never moved past the CM10 starting animation. And honestly, not super familiar with fastboot three days ago... fairly familiar at this point. But nothing seems to get this thing to work. Please tell me what to do!
(BTW - I only called warranty at the advice of an AT&T employee in the store. I'd love to just fix my phone)

Twrp 2.3.1.0, wipe everything, flash boot.img in fastboot, and flash cm10 and gapps in twrp.

Ok, great. I've downloaded the TWRP recovery image and the Goo Manager APK... now how do I use Goo Manager on a device that won't boot up?

You can't BC its an app.. Download tarp off the official site, a quick Google search brings it up first shot... Once downloaded, drop the recovery img into your adb and fastboot folder.. Enter fastboot USB on your phone. Now right click on your adb/fastboot folder and choose "open command prompt here"
Once cmd is running, type fastboot flash recovery <---- type in the name of the twrp img you dropped in

Exactly right! If you screw up your phone, take responsibility for it! Don't make somebody else pay for your failure.
Do you even read before you flash rom's? clear red letters. This could brick your phone or even worst if you dont know what you're doing
Research very much before doing anything, that's how I started

Completely agreed. The notion astounds me (and disappoints me also) that the OP was going to send the phone in for a warranty replacement simply because they didn't do the proper research and learning before modding the phone. And when the condition was completely and easily reversible. If the screen comes on with this phone, it can be recovered.

[Q] Please help unbrick???!!!!

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
