Hi, I did a terrible mistake but i think it can be fixed
I rooted and installed TWRP (Recovery), after trying a few times to install CM10 and getting stuck on the CM10 loading screen for 30-35 minutes, i came to XDA and learned that i should wipe cache/dalvik/sys, and try again.
I did a mistake and wiped everything from my phone and i don't have any backups ... Using the TWRP i mounted my phone to my computer and added CM10.zip file to try again, but it still shows nothing in my SD Card while in TWRP.
I can reboot and go to recovery.
Can anyone suggest or help me with that?
Did you unmount your sd card after copying the ROM across?
PS. Questions go in the q&a section. I'll ask for this to be moved for you.

yes i did, but still it doesn't show it there.
i went back to MOUNT and it does show the ROM there, but when I Unmount and try to find the zip through the Recovery, it shows 0 files.
What does it show on your phone display when you enter the mount menu in recovery? Can you post an image?

Attached is the picture of 3 screens.
In the 2nd screen, i can't check (select) SD CARD option.. however when i go to mount and connect my phone to my computer, it gives me a drive where i can put the files (ROM).
There's definitely something wrong there. I've seen people having problems with that version of TWRP, go back to the 2.6.0 version and try again.

ohh,
so i tried downgrading the TWRP 2.6.3 to 2.6 through fastboot. It doesn't recognize my device when i connect it.
Its stuck on <waiting for the device> in CMD.
I connected the phone while it was OFF, didn't work, went to recovery and connected it, still didn't work.
The method i am using to downgrade:
1. fastboot getvar store
2. Connect the phone while its OFF
3. fastboot flash recovery c:/*directory*/*recovery name*.img
4. fastboot reboot
You need to be booted into the bootloader for fastboot commands to work.

All installed correctly, can see them in Device Manager...
If your drivers are installed correctly and you're connecting in fastboot mode the fastboot commands should work. Try uninstalling HTC drivers and installing them again.

I'm not sure seeing as I don't really know what he's done. It looks like he's relocked your bootloader though. Why on earth did you let someone who has no idea what they're doing mess with your phone? I think you're better off returning the phone to stock and leaving it that way.

Hello! Something like that happened to me. I choose the option of "factory reset" into the phone first menu (not the TWRP menu) and it left useless the "SD CARD". In order to revert, you have to enter to TWRP menu, choose mount (I think), then choose mount SD and connect to PC. The PC will say that your card is not readable and you must format it to be read. Do it!, I did a fast format and it was enough. Then put in the phone memory (the just formated memory) the desireded ROM (I am using URdroid which is great). And enter TWRP again to flash the rom following the instructions for the choosen ROM. It will fix your problem.

You need to mount the sdcard, click on where it says 0MB and select the sdcard.

Something went wrong which I am not gonna explain too much.
Now My phone doesn't have an OS.
I have Unlocked Bootloader,
I have CWM installed. However, the USB storage Mount isn't working. "No UMS error"
I can still use CWM, but I don't have any rom in the SDCARD.
I can boot into boot loader, I can see fastboot USB.
I want to install a rom, any rom for now. but I don't have access to the SDcard. I couldn't mount it.
Is there a way to write a file or put a rom on the SDCard?
of course the SDCARD is build-in so yea....
Please help~!!!
i could be wrong, but if you can get to fastboot, cant you flash via RUU? i mean its obviously not a custom rom, but a hell of a lot better than a brick.
most RUU is exe file...
I can flash a stock rom. but I need a .zip rom.
I tried using the one of the custom rom. but it says something about a .txt file missing.
Right, RUUs are exe files intended to be flashed via windows. I thought that you could plug your phone in when in fastboot mode, or maybe its after you select bootloader, and then run the RUU and it would flash the phone. Is that not the case? Those are just my thoughts so i could be wrong. This is my first real HTC experience so i may be way off base.

A very similar problem
Hi all,
I've gotten myself into a very similar problem, but the solution posted here hasn't fixed my issue.
I have an HTC One X 2.20 on AT&T. I used the X-Factor exploit to root my phone successfully. I have TWRP 2.3.1 recovery. I have a Mac.
While in TWRP recovery, I pressed "Factory Reset", "Wiped System", and wiped "External Storage." My phone now doesn't have an OS.
I tried the listed solution "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/Download/rom.zip" and the newly flashed ROM would be on my SDcard, but as soon as I rebooted, it would disappear. ALSO, when I tried to "Install" the ROM before rebooting, I get "Failed- unable to mount /sdcard".
Any advice on how to proceed?
Thanks so much!

Well, wiping /system = wiping the OS, so that is logical.
Doing factory reset in recovery means you need to reformat your SD card before doing anything else.

Hi, Brand new Noob here, but hoping someone can help…I’ve had a good scour around and can’t find the answer. We have a Htc one x from orange uk (cid orang001) stuck at “quietly brilliant” screen following an attempt to load ViperX 2.6.0. After downloading, the MAC unzipped the ROM so this was just rezipped back up and transferred over to the SD card, without any special conditions. ( I’ve since read somewhere that this might cause issues)
USB debugger was enabled but its not possible to enable it now.
Fastboot works ok, and we’ve flashed the boot ok, but ADP isn’t working, so it isn’t possible to push the correct ROM.ZIP to the SDcard. CWM is installed.
We’ve seen the post for an updated CWM with ADP enabled on this here but that states its only for at&t models. If we could get ADP working we’d be able to push the correct ROM over, so this would seem the easiest way if possible.
I wanted to avoid doing a RUU in case the phone would end up bricked, but I can’t get the correct version anyway.
Command ./fastboot getvar version-main returns
version-main: 3.16.61.6 and the noob guide at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 says we can’t use a lower version….the nearest RUU I can find is 1.29.061.11 (released on 31/01/2013).
Any ideas on how best to recover this phone? The issue might not be anything to do with the zipping of the ROM, but then I have no idea why its not working…I’m hoping it’s a simple procedure, but I fear it may not be! Please Help!

oops, sorry :/
Today I flashed the last CleanRom 5.1 then I flashed kernel BeastMode evita 4.4 and the phone has bricked in the screen of HTC. So I did a big mistake, in the bootlloader i am pretty sure I have wiped the phone, now I have no ROM in the phone, and the TWRP will not let me select mount sd card. I have thinking in push the ROM in ADB but sincerely I have no idea how to do that. Actually I´m in the bootloader screen and connected the phone, appearing "Fastboot USB". Could someone kindly tell me what are the orders in the Command Prompt to connect the phone to my pc and push the rom?
The phone was with CM10 ROM, rooted and TWRP provided by a friend who is not available to help me.
BTW sorry for my regular english, I´m from Argentina.

My First advice, relock bootloader and run ruu...If your on the newer hboot don't you have to flash boot.img as well before flashing the rom? Did you wipe cashe and dalvik when you flashed? Did you see if rom first worked before flashing kernel?

I'm sure someone will provide a ruu download based on your phone. Fastboot oem lock command in fastboot to lock bootloader. I would wait though to see if there is still a way to flash Rom and mount your phones sd card.by the way did you create a recovery in twrp of stock rooted version?
You dont need to RUU. I don't know why everyone runs to that.
Open TWRP, mount usb storage.
If you're on windows, it should prompt you to format your sd card. Format it to fat32.
Copy whatever rom you want onto the card.
Install in TWRP.

Hi, I still cannot solving my problem :/ I locked the phone with the command "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot. Then I downloaded a RUU called htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe and I´ve executed the file in fastboot but appears during the installation process an error message that the phone is not connected with the USB cable, when obviously connected.
I have no idea what to do, I tried to check the connections, right now I'm trying to download another RUU apparently compatible, my CID is 11111111 and my HBOOT is 1.09.0000. Can you think of anything else I can do?

Newer RUU version should still work, but avoiding the 1.14 hboot is a good idea. So I too would recommend getting the 1.85 RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670238
OP should make sure he has the latest HTC drivers installed on the PC, or try re-installing them. Also try a different USB port. I've seen more than a few times on here, where it was simple as the drivers or the USB port.

Then reboot into bootloader then fastboot

CWM cant mount SD you need TWRP for that and a RUU put you back to stock but the bootloader needs relocking. So did you even try booting the rom because the red writing is fine.
you didn't mention it, but you should wipe system and caches as well as data
Not hard brick. you can chose the correct Ruu file and flash it to your phone.... solved your case.

CWM can not mount our sdcard onto your computer over USB.
But it absolutely can mount the sdcard partition onto the root filesystem.
Unless you have the 'unmountable sdcard' problem, for which there is a sticky in Q&A.
My feeling is that the OP didnt mount the sdcard partition. In that case it is normal to see the mount point as an empty folder.
Once it's mounted, you can adb push rom zips to it.

Download the right RUU for your carrier and location by looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543588 and you can get free download at http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html
Then plug in your phone and follow the instructions when you run the RUU .exe file.
AKToronto
but everytime i try to run it, it says it fails because the phone it is not connected to the computer but it is...
did you ever try to boot into the rom after you flashed it and boot image as in just tapping on reboot system
can you plug phone into pc and get indicator at top of screen that says you are connected. then pull down notification bar and select to mount drive
if so, does it show you your sdcard in the windows screen
you do have an S4 device and assume you are hboot .13 or higher
if you can get into os and see sdcard, you can get twrp and flash image gui and flash rom and boot image with it
i am sure you tried these things, just hard to know when reading posts
also, i don't know if you are running your commands correctly based on how i undestand your posts. you can't run adb commands from fastboot, which is what you were in to fastboot boot image. you would want to type fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you are very familiar with adb/fastboot--sorry. if not need to get up to speed on them
if i misread or misunderstood any of this, sorry for butting in--

In recovery?
If you do Factory reset in bootloader it messes up your SD Card.
Boot into recovery
Select "Mount"
Connect device to PC via USB cable
Select "Mount USB Storage" in TWRP
On the PC, find the SDCard's drive in My Computer, right-click on it, and select "Format"
Proceed with formatting the SDCard ("Quick Format" is fine)
Safely remove the USB storage from Windows
Reboot

Was TWRP in ADB Sideload option?
Do you still have the drivers installed?

Do you have HTC Sync installed? Uninstall it.

To be on topic, the phone has no rom? Okay, Boot into fastboot then on CMD do "fastboot flash zip [name].zip"
i belive it was..
if not RUU, i belive that's better than having no rom

S-Off Evita Chameleon OS
So I think my HTC One X is bricked. It says "No OS" when I'm in TWRP. I downloaded the ViperXL ROM so I can install it again onto my phone but I can't transfer the files to my phone. When I connect my phone into my computer, it says there is no driver or the driver cannot be installed even though I already installed all the updated drivers for it. So is there anyway for me to get the ViperXL ROM on my phone so I can use it again? Thanks,
Your phone isn't bricked, if it powers on at all it isn't a brick. More information needed though. What are your bootloader details? Which recovery version are you using? Is the mount usb storage option in the recovery not working?

I'm using the TeamWin bootloader and I'm not sure which version it is. Also, when I got to Mount, I click mount and then it has the unmount button right after I click mount. Not sure what to do there. Thanks,

How do you not know which version it is? You flashed it to the device didn't you? It says at the top of the screen as soon as you enter TWRP. I also asked what your bootloader details are, I ask these questions because I need this information to help you, so I need you to answer them if you want help. So when you click the mount usb storage button (with the phone connected of course) does it not show up as a removable drive in Windows?

I'm trying to charge my phone right now so I will give you the version in a bit and when I click mount, nothing shows up on Windows. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.
I also need your bootloader information please. Have you performed a factory reset from the bootloader by any chance?

Yes I already did a factory reset. And I will give you the version number tomorrow if that's fine since my phone is still charging and doesn't want to turn on.
But did you do the factory reset in recovery or in the bootloader?

I did a factory reset in both. And the version is also v2.4.1.0. Thanks,
Ok, there's half your problem. Don't ever perform a factory reset from the bootloader because doing that in a modified Evita causes the sd card to become corrupted. The other half of your problem is your recovery version, TWRP 2.4.x and 2.5.x are buggy and shouldn't be used. Download TWRP 2.6 from here.
Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now go into TWRP and select wipe, then advanced wipe, check sd card/internal storage and wipe it. Now try mounting it to your PC.

HTC Sync Manager from the HTC website. Are there any links you have for me to install?
There is a thread in our general section which has a download of only the drivers.

So I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217384
I just downloaded the "Updated on 6.6.13" files.
Ok, but just to note that you got those from the international One X Endeavoru forum. Is there any particular reason you were in that forum?
