[Q] how to flash - really in trouble - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi all,
Apology if this questions may already been ask millions of time but I am really stucked at the moment and hoping that someone may guide me to the correct direction.
I have got HTC One X-LTE (Evita)
I managed to get S-OFF and also CID - 111111
It has TWRP 2.6
The last time I got it working was on the STOCK 4.2.2 I downloaded from the XDA - then I got into the issues of rebooting and loosing signal from time to time. so I went into my TWRP backup I had and reflashed it using my old backup made from my TWRP.
the reflashed failed and now I can only boot up to the HTC logo and then black screen.
I can get to the TWRP recovery and I have got fastboot and ADB on my PC.
When I run the fastboot devices command --> it shows device connected BUT when i try ADB command ---> no device is found.
It will be much appreciated if someone can guide me to the right direction as I am really stucked at the moment not sure where to start.
I tried searching in the forum but I don't think I went to the correct area/tutorial.
Please help
Thank you

When you made your twrp backup did you select system,data, and boot? If it's hanging at the HTC screen it seems there is not boot.img installed or one that is incompatible with your backup. Open whatever Rom your backup is made from and copy the boot.img to your fastboot directory. Then reboot the phone into fastboot mode and flash the boot.img using this command.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot the phone and see what happens

Thanks for the reply.
When looking at the TWRP backup I copied into my PC - does not have the .img - the one I can find is MD5
Can I use the existing ROM I donwload from XDA like : EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge.zip
when I extracted EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge.zip - I can see the "boot.img" can I use this one?
Thanks

I had a somewhat similar experience with Viper 4.0 ROM - I managed to get Cyanogenmod installed correctly (particularly this one). Take a shot and see if it works - atleast your phone will be up and working.

hmm - Im on ROM dated 09/13, which is not present now. Your best bet would be http://get.cm/get/aOM
Also remember to flash Google Apps (play store, etc.) which is packaged separately here - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

Hi Sandy
Thank you again for your help
I finally got my phone at least booting again.
What i did was I went to the fastboot and then correct to the PC and when it was asking for format the drive, I did format it (fingers crossed) and luckily it let me see the ROm I downloaded from the Stock 4.2.2 Turge version.
Now my problem is that the phone keeps rebooting.
I don;t know how to flash the kernel as suggested on the front page of the thread.
What is the most stable ROM at the moment?
I want to learn how to flash and fix this - I have kept reading post after post but I still can not get myself to where I want it to be which is fixing the reboot issue from the STOCK 4.2.2 Turge version.
I am a real newbie so I am not too familar with some of the fancy terms people use.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again

It sounds like it might be a bad download or something. I noticed u never mentioned wiping the phone before flashing, Are u clean wiping? And also what hboot are you on?

You can either flash the kernel, which can be found in the Android Development section, flashing the kernel is just like flashing a ROM, just install in Beastmode. Or you can upgrade your firmware to 2.15, the instructions are I'm the first post of the ROM thread.
Asking which ROM is best/favorite/most stable is against the rules so we can't answer that question.
When you say the phone keeps rebooting, does it ever make it into the OS or is it boot looping (showing the boot animation then starting over)?

When you said that flashing kernel is the same as flashing ROM, I did it By going to TWRP and the press install and locate the zip file. Is this what should be done?
What is beast mode?
Sorry for the basic questions
Thanks

Yeah that's how you install the kernel. It must be done after you install the ROM. I kinda worded my reply a bit weird, sorry about that. Beastmode is the name of the kernel, you can find it here:

I did try to flash it through recovery but it always failed. Not sure why. I copied the kernel zip file into my phone sd and then I went to recovery and press the install and located the kernel zip file but still failed.

Which recovery version are you using?
Sent from my Evita

Recovery is 2.6.3.
The process failed on not able to fine the MD5 file or something like that. We don't need to extract the Zip file do we?
Cheers

Disable md5 checking in settings. You never need to extract a kernel or ROM zip.

I have checked the setting in TWRP and nothing is ticked.
When I flash the zip, it is still saying "failed due to md5 does not exists".
I am not sure which should be address first but I now noticed that there is an error : "unable to locate storage device"
also came out.
When I plug my phone to PC I can see the storage but why it is saying "storage device not found" in TWRP?
Thanks

Have you tried reflashing CWM via fastboot? Could just be your recovery got borked and you need to reflash recovery.
You can also try reflashing CWM via ROM Manager.
edit: Your img file might be corrupt, did you compare the MD5 sum? How are you flashing recovery?

No you don't have to do all of that,
Just download the correct CWM recovery.img file, CHECK the MD5, then flash via fastboot, you don't have to start fresh or anything.
edit:
what phone is this for?
I got that it's an HTC device running Sense 4 but we might help you find a better CWM recovery link if we know which device you're using on what carrier.

Awesome!
Glad we got you back up and running, it can be a real pain when the issue is a bad img file and you can't seem to figure out what is going on, but people need to remember to check MD5 sums for recoveries, radios and bootloaders lest they brick.
I don't think you need to upload since that link seems to work, they can just find the CWM for that phone from the link I provided and flash via fastboot from there.
Cheers bro, let us know how it's going after you flash the ROM

Yea it is, but I think it's more for Motorola devices. I don't know what HTC uses if anything different. But my phone would boot to the OS so I could still install apps via the SD card. Once I got that properly reinstalled I could access the boot menu again.
Seems like you got that issue solved by I still wanted to follow up.

[Q] One S Can not load any os

Hi guys
I hope this is the right forum here, but I have still the same problem after asking google for hours.
I unlocked my one s via htcdev and the I want to install trickdroid but after flashing the boot.img nothing works any longer.
At the moment I get team win recovery running and I try to install cyanogen but it doesn't load. There is only the boot animation.
Hopefully you can help me to get anything running on my one s.

What hboot/exact steps for flashing? S3 or S4 processor?
Whats the exact rom and version you're trying to flash?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Check the HBOOT version that you are using with that required. That is the biggest problem when it comes to bootloops in this phone.
Basic question - are you flashing the correct boot.img for the ROM you want.
ie for Cyanogenmod you need to flash the exact boot.img from that ROM.
Thanks for your answer.
At the moment I am running clockwork as recovery. I've tried to flash trickdroid and I used these instructions at
trickdroid.org for the international one s. But after flashing the boot.img and doing fastboot erase cache
nothing happens and I couldn't load anything anymore.
PS: My phone has a S4 processor (with 1,5GHz is this right?)

Can I reflash my originial stock rom? I have no backup.
I found an instruction at usp-forum.de/htc-one-s-root-flash-hack/87944-how-to-htc-one-s-stock-rom-wiederherstellen.html - it worked fine,
I flashed the stock_recovery.img with "fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img" and the I did "fastboot oem lock".
I also downloaded a installer exe with the RUU - it found my device and started to install, but it stopped sometimes and said, that
I have a wrong installer or RUU (something like signature error 132). Where and how can I find the right RUU?

[Q] Htc one s telus RUU?

I made the mistake of running a cm10 rom on my htc one s that didnt work on i so now i can only access TWRP and my phones bootloader from my One S so I'm trying to find my phone's stock RUU but there are so many out there! Can anyone tell me how to find one? Or another way to get into my phone using another ROM? My phone is rooted with Twrp recovery, Unlocked bootloader obviously and S-on. All my phone does is show the htc bootscreen and then go black but I can still enter bootloader and the TWRP menu and I can connect it to my computer fine. Any help would be VERY greatly appreciated!

Don't give up. I had the same issue with my telus One S. I think I fixed it by falshing boot image separately and after flashing CM10. I believe this happens if the phone is rooted but is in S-ON mode, whatever that means. I remember it really gave me a hard time and as I was going to give up i flashed the boot image and it worked. You have to do it through a command window on your PC. There should be an all-in-one tool in this forum somewhere to simplify the steps a bit. Good luck!
Thanks!

It is in the zip file that you download to flash, i.e. your new ROM. So when you download CM10, open the zip file. BOOT.IMG will be there. Extract it and flash it to your phone. I believe everything was in One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.4. Look it up in the forum and it has all the tools you need. I admit that it was a pain and nothing was straight forward. I always root my android devices and install new ROMs. But HTC One S was particularly tricky.
Good luck!
Hello there! Fellow HTC One S user here! Don't give up on CM10! It's way better than stock on your one S! What you need to remember is that HBoot versions higher than 1.09 can't flash the boot while installing the rom, so you need to do that after flashing a rom! The boot for your version is going to be included in the rom's zip file. Look for the boot.img file located in the zip file's root. Every rom should have this. Place this boot.img file in the kernel folder of the One S all in one kit and flash it. You should be good to after that!
Don't hesitate to ask for more help if needed!

When I try to flash a ROM through fastboot it sends it fine but then it says: FAILED (remote: not allowed), and I tried pushing the ROM with adb but when I tried to put it on the sdcard, it said permission denied, do you know why? I am S-ON, would that be a problem? Thanks!

[Q] i can't install any firmware on my htc one x

Hi everyone.
i bought a second hand htc one x a month ago and it was working good on jb rom
but the bootloader was already unlocked with s-on
so i thought i could see how the custom rom looks like so i downloaded a lot of Roms and trying to install them but unfortunately none of them worked not just that it's crash and go back to recovery.img witch i also flash a lot until one of them works so after i tried a lot of custom roms like "Android_Revolution_HD-one_x_33" , "HTC_one_x_-_MaximusHD_21.0" , "OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_50_S_HTC_E" , "ViperX_4.0.7".
and i also tried to install the official one which is RUU... doesn't works then in some posts says that i should re-locked the bootloader in order to install the official Rom and i did it
and it also doesn't work
and now i stuck i don't even have a recovery to boot on just the bootloader
i give up and took it the htc servise center and called me after tow days and says they can't fix it
please mates i don't wanna throw my phone
any help will be so appreciate
thanks
You are flashing roms for the hox on the hox xl.....you do not have a hox international, but the dual-core HTC ONE XL. So take it to the correct forum and download recoveries and roms from there !!!
Unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery (ment for the HTC one xl) flash the boot.img from the rom, make a full wipe and install the new HTC ONE XL rom

Did you follow the correct procedure to flash a rom ?
1.Flash kernel with boot.img which is available in zip file.
2.Boot into recovery and wipe cache , dalvik cache , system.
3.Flash rom and the gapps.
i guess u have missed the 1st step.
Now all u have to do is unlock the bootloader again , flash appropriate recovery and follow the first three steps again. It doesn't matter if its a custom rom. But be sure to download the appropriate one. Don worry ur fone is not all over. Wait for some expert's opinion. Stay cool.
Why do people repeat the already given answers ? the correct procedure is to download the device specific correct roms !!!

Now all u have to do is unlock the bootloader again , flash appropriate recovery and follow the first three steps again. It doesn't matter if its a custom rom. But be sure to download the appropriate one. Don worry ur fone is not all over. Wait for some expert's opinion. Stay cool.

You're giving incorrect advice. You failed to notice that the user is flashing Endeavoru ROMs to an Evita phone.

Hi everyone.
i bought a second hand htc one x a month ago and it was working good on jb rom
but the bootloader was already unlocked with s-on
so i thought i could see how the custom rom looks like so i downloaded a lot of Roms and trying to install them but unfortunately none of them worked not just that it's crash and go back to recovery.img witch i also flash a lot until one of them works so after i tried a lot of custom roms like "Android_Revolution_HD-one_x_33" , "HTC_one_x_-_MaximusHD_21.0" , "OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_50_S_HTC_E" , "ViperX_4.0.7".
and i also tried to install the official one which is RUU... doesn't works then in some posts says that i should re-locked the bootloader in order to install the official Rom and i did it
and it also doesn't work
and now i stuck i don't even have a recovery to boot on just the bootloader
i give up and took it the htc servise center and called me after tow days and says they can't fix it
please mates i don't wanna throw my phone
any help will be so appreciate
thanks

All you need to do is unlock your bootloader again, flash an Evita recovery, and flash an Evita ROM. Your main problem is probably that you've been wandering into the wrong device forum. You have the HTC One XL (Evita), not the HTC One X (Endeavoru). Our device main page is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Bookmark that page and make sure you stay within it. Don't ever download anything for your phone unless you find out linked within our forum.

Flashing the wrong ROM can definitely brick a device. Some ROMs have checks in the updater script to make sure they're being installed on the right device, some ROMs don't have checks and just brick the device.

thanks guys
first of all thank you guys for your help and sorry for my late reply but in order of 50 kb download what can i do
anyway i tried what you guys told me but unfortunately it didn't work
i re-unlock the device and i downloaded "RegeXL-evita-v2.1" and "UrDroid_Sense_5_JB_4.2.2_Odexed_5" it didn't work so i tried to flash a kernel
"JB_KERNEL_5.08.111.2_Init.d_Support_EVITA_Installer" same problem i don't know why what's wrong with it ?!!
when i was trying to install the ROMs it's says "Skipping MD5 check : no MD5 file found"
and there is another thing but somehow i don't feel it's has nothing to do with my issue: When i start the device under HTC logo with red font "This build is for development purpose......etc." i'm sure you know it guys
any other help i'll be appreciate it
thanks for you all .

Have you flashed the Kernel (boot.img) from ROM ZIP file in bootloader using following command after flashing the ROM?.

When you flashed RageXL did you remember to flag the boot.img via fastboot after flashing the ROM? You're s-on so you need to do that whenever you flash a ROM. Refer to my How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature for details.
Also, which version of TWRP 2.6.3.0 are you using? Official or unofficial?

problem solved
Guys thank you for all you've done
the device is now working properly and everything is ok
i really send my regards to xda members
and thank you ms.sathish804 to be honest that was my mistake i was doing wrong command witch is "fastboot flash recovery boot.img"
actually i felt like an idiot for me doing that
but it works after i flashed a Kernel named "JB_KERNEL_5.08.111.2_Init.d_Support_EVITA_Installer"
ms.timmaaa i don't know if TWRP is Official or unofficial but i flashed this one openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-evita
thank you guys again
Good news. You've got the official recovery installed, which is fine for the ROM you flashed (obviously). If you device you want to flash a KitKat ROM you'll need to flash the unofficial version. I'd still recommend you check out the threads in my signature, they're a staple for anyone starting out with modifying phones.

You can not flash a custom recovery from stock android recovery. Which is what the red x recovery is
Is your tablets boot loader unlocked yet?... No matter. Just download thisAIO_scripts_R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3.zip - 12.00 MB
It's my tool to do everything u need. Unlock boot loader, flash twrp recovery, and then twrp will root it also when you boot into recovery. Just Dow load the zip file. Plug your xoom into your pc and click the runme.bat and chose what you want to do.

I got into the twrp interface and loaded the omniROM 4.4.2 but it will not load past the omni screen now and give me an error saying could not mount Cache
When i load in to TWRP it is asking me for a password

Known issue on twrp there is no password just leave blank.
And you will need to ask your Rom related question in the Rom thread because I don't use that Rom and I don't know if it's bigPart Rom or not

Just remember to look at what ever Rom you choose. If it says requires bigpart. Look at the thread in the development section for the steps to make it compatible for bigpart. It's not hard just have to follow a few steps.
