long story short I unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, DID NOT backup (I know) gained su, tried to install cm10 and now I am in boot loop. tried relocking and re flashing stock ruu, that landed me in only booting into bootloader. re-unlocked and re flashed twrp back to boot loop. I am not real familiar with adb so I would need simple instructions please. what do I do? thanks
You haven't given the important information, please post your bootloader details.
PS. You're not even close to being bricked. A brick is only when you have absolutely no response from your device whatsoever.

I can get into bootloader and I can get into recovery but from there i'm not sure what to do, in the original instructions I went to reboot and clicked system, after doing that is when the boot loop started and if I do it again now the same thing happens just bootloops

s-off!!! After you ruu before reunlocking or anything are you still bootlooping? I have had that happen before, I fixed it once with a factory reset in bootloader. Make sure you only do factory reset in bootloader completely stock or you will corrupt sdcard. Running "fastboot erase cache" in fastboot after flashing custom recovery or even stock could help, i always run this command anytime i flash something in fastboot. When flashing a custom rom make sure to do full wipes, i always go to advcanced in wipe tab and select everything except sdcard.

very useful and easy to follow thanks for the link, however adb commands don't seem to be working as when I try any of them nothing happens. even adb devices just says list of devices attached and there is no list and no devices, adb shell does nothing etc. I tried a factory reset from bootloader and it just rebooted into twrp...when from feeling like a king when I finally got su on there to such a dumbass now, and the wife is enjoying telling me I should've have messed with it in the first place.
If you can get into twrp do it then mount your device to pc, copy a ROM of choice to filesystem, unmount phone, do a full wipe, then flash the ROM.

ok so I re-formatted it and was about to enter twrp and mount the drive, I downloaded the latest updated rom from htc.com and tried to load it with twrp that didn't work so I tried to use htc's tool and that didn't work either.
You need to slow down and do some research before trying all this stuff which you have no clue about. You're on a fast track to actually bricking your phone. All you need to do is install a ROM in recovery, reboot to bootloader, flash the boot.img from the ROM via fastboot and reboot into the ROM. That's all you needed to do from the very beginning because you're s-on. Unfortunately the people who were trying to help you didn't identify this and kinda sent you on a wild goose chase

Well he had a corrupted that wouldn't let him mount the SD so my advice was to format it to fat32 then install a ROM from the forum.

The corrupted sd card wasn't until later in the thread. You don't need adb for that anyway, you format it through Windows. All he had to do originally was flash the boot.img via fastboot.

You should be able to just Google adb/fastboot. The traditional way is to download the Android SDK and get it from there but that's a huge download. I know there are sources which will supply you with just adb and fastboot but I can't remember where.

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.

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.

boot into bootloader run "fastboot oem lock" then run the ruu

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.

And second example was cwm. And cwm does work but not the international version we have an unofficial unreliable build
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.

You can't flash a boot.img via sideload and you can't flash a boot.img via adb. Has to be with fastboot.

Your boot.img is most likely fine, you just need to restore your system partition. Did you make a backup of your device using your custom recovery? If so, then you need to restore using that backup. Otherwise, I can provide a link to either my TWRP backup (not CWM compatible), an RUU, or my deodexed Rom. Your choice. First, if you already have a backup made up, then apply it. Otherwise, let me know.

Thanks for trying to help me. do you know any got roms or links to one that will work.
Thanks

Just a pointer from someone who used to use CWM if you flash twrp recovery its a lot cleaner, with more options than CWM. since your going back stock I would recommend flashing twrp recovery in place of CWM

I had TWRP on before CWM but even when i would load that it would still bootloop thats why i used CWM. Just one question if i want to root it again without a system control app this time will i be able to use this exe file to restore it if it happens again. it took me a year before i tried it because the first time there was no roms and i bootlooped that HTC one SV and had to fork over $300.00 bucks for a new one but i figured that i would root it because of busybox.
Again Thanks...Your a life saver if this works.I'll let you know when i'm done

Its an ruu, an ruu is about as legit as you are going to get when it comes to restoring your phone. So yes, it will work . If your phone bootlooped when you flashed twrp in the past then my guess is that you either used the wrong fastboot commands and wrote it to another partition by accident, or you used a TWRP that was not presumably built for your phone and thus used another TWRP designed for another device.

If you are about to do something to your phone, make sure you know exactly what you are doing, why you are doing it, how it works, why it works, should I make a mistake what are my escape routes, and if all else fails - plan B. If none of these are set to mind then I recommend you do absolutely nothing to your phone until you actually understand its method.

Hi, So i just bought this device and I've looked all over the internet to root my htc one sv on BOOST mobile. I unlocked the bootloader but then must have been following the wrong guide and flashed a wrong recovery or something. I can boot just not into recovery, it gets stuck "entering recovery". Does anyone know a recent and more updated way to root this device?! Thank you so much in advance!

Dude! Thank you so much! It worked!
So it's been a long time since ive had a rooted htc device, where can I start on the basics of what I can and cannot flash/ do to my specifi htc on sv on boost?
Earlier I was trying to "S-OFF" my device so I can rewrite my "SuperCID" so I can update my Hboot to 2.15 and somewhere along that process i've managed to seriously screw my phone over.
Currently, my phone is unable to be mounted anywhere... My phone is without a ROM, so all i've got access to is the bootloader screen, and TWRP v2.7. And mounting my device in recovery mode then pushing a ROM file through "adb" does not work.
I have the AT&T EVITA dual core version of the phone.
I know this was completely stupid of me, and that i've might have made my phone into a pretty expensive paper weight. But any help at all would greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

No, fastboot is not recognizing my device. However when I emulate adb on my recovery it does recognize. And when i tried to push the ROM file into my /internal_sd it showed that it was unable to be mounted.
I'm not clear on what RUU dont want run that yet...
and my phone is still S-ON, nothings changed there.

Your best bet is to get to bootloader connect to PC and cmd window fastboot devices. See if PC recognized device or not. If it does reco the device, extract boot IMG from the ROM and flash it via fastboot
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk
Did you run a factory reset from the bootloader by any chance? That could be part of your problem. The other part of your problem is that TWRP 2.7 can have issues with mounting the sd card, so purely for the purpose of copying a ROM across you'd be best off installing TWRP 2.6. Of course that requires a working fastboot connection so you need to sort out your fastboot drivers. What OS are you running on your PC?
One thing I'll add here is do not run an RUU unless you're s-off.

Well, unfortunately now it looks like you really have bricked your phone. That recovery isn't for our device, we have the Evita so you should have downloaded from here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/Evita
It's too late now, but for future reference you need to be more careful. Flashing that recovery has screwed your partitions, I believe the only thing that will save your phone is if you pay for a jtag repair to be done. You should be able to request s-off at the same time too.
Just out of interest, why did you download from there? What lead you there?

so for some reason I held my volume down button and power button for like 5 mins just as desperate last attempt before i give up for real.
and to my surprise im on the bootloader screen now. Luck is on my side i guess, how fortunate.
So now before i go about possible screwing up even more, would it be too much to ask for my next step to recovering my phone?
I have no idea how i stumbled upon that link. i was in status of stress and wasnt thinking clearly.. completely forgot that our model was the evita.
Thanks so much for all your help guys.

First off..I'm not your mate. Second of all I been emailing the guy giving him direction . I told him about the installing on SD and flashing boot.img via fastboot
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk
You're incredibly lucky, usually flashing something that's not intended for your device ends in a brick. 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 you can select recovery from your bootloader to enter TWRP. Use the mount menu to mount usb storage and then copy a ROM across.

So I took one wrong turn and bricked my htc one x.
It was in a restart loop, and I hadn't changed anything before that. I let it restart on charge for a couple of days hopefully it works one time (it did once but happened again the next time I shut it off)
So I had no luck with that, so I backed up all my data with twrp. I went to wipe and I accidentally pressed "system" too.
Now the phone only gives me the bootloader and not even twrp.

Luckily you're not even close to being bricked, all you've done is wipe the system. That's easily fixed by flashing a ROM again, you're s-on so don't forget to flash the boot.img with fastboot afterwards. Check out the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature, you'll find them really valuable. I'd also strongly suggest you get s-off, it's very easy and is pretty much a necessity these days.

can you guys give a more detailed explanation? I ****ed up once already and am a bit scared lol
So I flash twrp again, then install a rom? Does it have to be the original or can I go custom at this point?
Recovery depends on the ROM type. Some Roms require a fstab or selinux, and sometimes a modded recovery . Always read the Roms o.p..

Did you read the How-To Guide For Beginners thread like I suggested? It contains detailed instructions on anything you need to do right now (flashing recovery, ROM, boot.img). You might as well use the latest TWRP recovery (2.7.1.0), as it should flash anything. You'll find it here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
As long as you have TWRP recovery installed, you can flash any ROM you like, as long as it's for this device of course.

Did you flash the correct gapps package to go with PACman? You need to flash the appropriate package to match the Android version of the ROM.
