Hi all. Today I installed CyanogenMod 10.1 using twrp on my newly rooting phone. I followed a youtube video by Graeme Biggs. I should have watched it fully before I started. I neglected to download a Google apps package. He said I could find it on XDA. I did a search and could not find it. Can somebody point me in the right direction to this file? Thankyou.

Your signature says HTC One. Is your phone an HTC One or an HTC One XL? That's very important to know because you can brick your phone if you install the wrong software.
Hi. I was using my one to post in the forum. I was installing CyanogenMod on my Rogers one x.

You should fully research and understand any root/mod process, before you start it. You also shouldn't rely on YouTube guides, this being one of the many reasons.
Yes thanks. I realize I should have done a little more research. I will certainly in the future.

So I went and plugged my one x into my PC so U could try abd flash the Google apps package and my phone does not show up as a removable drive. Since my **** up with trying to install cyanogenmod, my phone has been in continuous bootloop and only going as far as the HTC screen before rebooting. I can get it into twrp. How would I be able to get the zip file from my computer to my phone? Is there something else I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks for any suggestions.

Go into TWRP, connect your phone to pc, select mount in TWRP menu, select mount usb storage, your phone should show up as a removable drive now, copy file from pc to phone.

Thank you so much Timmaaa. I thought that there must be a solution.I will try in the morning.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Hi Timmaaa. I tries what you suggested and it still did not show up on my computer. My computer makes the same sound as it always does when an external device is attached. When in tarp and I press mount, a window opens up which shows the storage. It says SD card (0MB). Should something be checked off in partitions to moun t? I tried to mount the SD several times an nothing shows up. Thanks.

I have now found out that it does not show up as an htc device. It shows up as an f drive and a g drive. I tried to copy the gapps to the g drive and it said I need to format the removable disk. I hope that this works.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Ah ok, you did a factory reset in bootloader at some point didn't you, that corrupts your sd card. You will need to format it like Windows instructed, format it to fat32 format and you'll be able to access it again. Unfortunately any data you had on it has been wiped now, I hope there wasn't anything too important on there.
Sent from my Evita
Thanks. I did reformat the SD card as windows asked. Then I copied both files onto my phones SD cars and followed the instructions again using twrp. It said that they were both installed successfully but theCyanogenMod home screen did not come up after completion. When I reformatted the SD card, I just let windows do. I did not set it to format to anything specific. I will try it again when I get home tomorrow from work,. Thanks again for your help.

If you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot after you've flashed the ROM and gapps.
Sent from my Evita
Thanks. I am s-on. I will look at it tomorrow and figure out how to do that.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Just extract the boot.img from the root of the ROM zip, put it in your fastboot folder on your pc, bit your phone into bootloader and connect it to your pc, wait for it to say fastboot usb on your phone display then give this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now reboot your phone and it'll boot into the ROM.

Hi Timmaaa. I am still having problems flashing the boot.img from cyanogenmod to my Evita. I put it I'm my fastboot folder and typed in the command as you have told me. I get this message pop up from fastboot.exe. ( this application has failed to start because AbdWinApi.Dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem). I just do not understand what I could be doing wrong. Is it possible I am not using the right folder? I started this a week ago but got the Norovirus from work and could not reply sooner. Thanks for any assistance you can give.

I believe I did have the wrong folder. I just tried the afastboot ADB folder and it worked. Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it greatly.

I have a few problems here... I was updating my cm unofficial Rom last night and before I did I made a mistake of using Rom manager and put the latest touch recovery on it.... I can boot to recovery and tried several times to flash over it but stays the same. Second I can cold boot to cm 10 but don't have wifi at all.... So I can't re flash through goo manager. Main problem is when I plug the tablet in the computer it charges but won't read it... I tried re installing all drivers I tried 3 cables and 2 computers.... Please if anyone knows how to get this thing to read so I can push new software to it.. Jeff

If your data is not that important, use Easy Flasher to go back to stock.
Then root it, install Goo Manager and in the settings, install openrecoveryscript for TWRP recovery and there's roms and other stuff in Goo Manager as well.
It sounds like I had this same experience with the recovery problem . You have to revert back to 5.4.0.4 or so. I dont remember exactly where I found it but you also must use a terminal emulator t suppress your current version AFTER you flashed it from your current recovery yet BEFORE you go back to view the older version after its flashed, I know there isn't much information there but I looked and looked and looked and finally found this way, hope my information serves you as at least a starting point to fix it

I get the same warning, but it works fine regardless. I always figured it was for some other devices that had that partition...
Tried it still not working... I did a full wipe of all data and internal in TWRP recovery and then restored a nandroid of stock rom w root and still nothing... I tried to full wipe of all available options in recovery and loaded recover 4.2.1 and again nothing computer won't read it and got the staging error at then end.... I have a fully functional tablet except for usb and this could be a problem if it bricks.... The last rom I had on there before problems was cm 10 12-30-12 before I tried eos 4 and this all began... I was only available to load cm back on but with out wifi out of all ROM's bc all failed at install..Finally got an old nandroid restored w new recovery after the cwm loop was solved. so everything is working except usb .

Hey,
I have the same problem, the ASUS Service center told me that motherboard needs to be replaced. They are charging me around Rs. 14000 (~$250) for the motherboard replacement which i believe is too much. Kindly suggest whether you were charged the same or did you get it done from elsewhere.
Also, I initially got the problem due to failed CWM recovery and thus it seems to be software issue. Is there any way it can be recovered without motherboard replacement.
I actually bought it through walmart and had the protection plan... I'm getting a refund for full amount since parts aren't available... $540.00 refund check... The only problem I had was connecting it to the computer via usb...It wouldn't read... I also had a clicking noise at boot... The talet ran fine... I'll take the refund and just get another tablet now

So I've recently rooted and put TWRP on my AT&T One X with the intention of putting Jelly Bean on it. I've tried to put countless ROMs on it, doing the proper wiping procedures and what not, but as soon as I install the ROM, when I boot and get past the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen, the screen goes black and all I see is a repeating white bar across the top of the screen that appears and disappears as if the phone is attempting to get through the boot but won't. It's really frustrating. This is my first experience with rooting an HTC phone, even though I have a lot of experience with other phones I've owned. I follow the directions for each ROM I've tried, and nothing seems to work. Anyone care to assist me?

Before you install the Rom plug your phone into the pc. Put your phone in fastboot. Open the zip for the Rom on the pc and extract boot.img put it in your fastboot folder open command prompt and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thanks so much! Another question real quick. It doesn't seem as though my PC is recognizing my One X anymore...especially when I'm attempting to do something like flashing images. It will notice it in terms of mounting the disk drive for file transfers and HTC sync, but not for anything else. I'm thinking that its an issue with Windows 8 and the HTC drivers.

press and hold power. THe capacitive buttons will blink a bunch of times then the screen will go black. When it does, let go of power and press and hold volume down until bootloader comes up.

I don't believe that will screw anything up since you're copying it to your external card. Also, the zip has to be named OP6BIMG.zip otherwise it won't flash in boot loader.

@Anthony825 the above advice is correct. Make sure your sd card is formatted as fat32. Otherwise bootloader won't detect it. That's a leading zero too...not a capital O. Cut copy and paste this...

You shouldn't be using twrp for an ruu. The file extension is zip. So if you were looking at the sd card on your PC you would see the .zip part. You would run that from bootloader. Twrp will never flash it

If you have everything right your bootloader should pick it up. If your phone boots up in fastboot mode choose the bootloader option from the menu and you should see it look for that file by name.

Your first problem is that you're flashing a ROM that isn't meant for this device, you've been wandering into the wrong forum, make sure you stay in the one you're posting in now.
Try using the advanced wipe feature of TWRP to wipe the sd card, which should format it.

No that's what I'm saying, there is no ARHD for Evita, only for Endeavoru. You're getting your phone HTC One XL/at&t One X (Evita) mixed up with the HTC One X (Endeavoru), they're completely different devices. You're lucky you didn't brick. Try flashing CWM recovery instead.

Hi all. I am still having no luck getting my evita recognized by my pc so I can mount it. I get a beep from the pc when I plug it in, in bootloader mode. I have reinstalled abd and htc sync to get the drivers. it appears to recognize my device while it is checking the media on it, but when it is complete it says no phone attached. I even deleted htc sync and just left the drivers, but still no joy. I just don't get it. My m7 is recognized on my pc, so I would imagine that the drivers are there. When my evita is off and I push power and volume down to get into bootloader, the capacitive buttons do not flash like they used to. Can anyone offer any information? I wonder if someone would be able to help me over Team viewer? I feel so lost. Never had these problems with my m7. Thanks.
The button lights only flash while using the button combo while the phone is already turned on, if the device is switched off it just boots into the bootloader without any flashing lights. As for why your device isn't being recognised, it's really difficult to troubleshoot without actually having access to the device and the PC.
