Some how I lost root while mucking around trying to change recovery for beanstalk 4.4. I never did get it changed since I had computer issues.
Did I really lose it? And is there an easy way to get it back?

So you still have your previous recovery installed? Why not just flash a rooted ROM?

All good now on beanstalk 4.3....I wonder why I couldnt flash superuser for codefire x...maybe it just needs a clean install.
Thanks
What recovery did you try to change from and to?

It was a CWM one in the Beanstalk 4.4 forum...was going to flash via adb, BUT I never did it because once I got into
fastboot computer stopped recognizing the phone so I gave up on it.
When flashing any recovery, make sure its the one intended for our device (EVITA not ENDEAVORU) as this is a common mistake. Although, it sounds like your problem was something different.
The official CWM is fine to use (I was using it for a while) although TWRP is more commonly used on this device. On TWRP, if the ROM you are flashing is not rooted, it will give you the option to root it when it flashes, which is pretty nice.

Hey guys..

Just tested with ROM Mananger, it can backup just fine.. as soon i choose a ROM to install it loads recovery and fails, just like when you do it manually.

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

Pretty common lately...Android for Nexus S recovers its recovery if it is changes...
"You dawg, we heard you like recovering your recoveries, so we made recovery recover in recovery." and all that...

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

Also, you can install TWRP by getting goomanager from the Play Store.

Hi I just rooted and unlocked bootloader on my HTC one x I installed twrp I flash to thuogh fast boot it loads up once fastboot installs it but once I reboot then phone and try to enter recovery it is not there I have to do the whole fastboot load again is anyone else having that or is there a fix

If you are rooted, go and download goomanager from the play store and use it to flash TWRP. Much quicker and easier than doing it through fastboot.

Slim1991 did just that and it worked, despite having tried to install the Endeavor recovery previously (I'm surprised that it worked). Of course, there is no way you would no that, since he cross posted to another thread:

The previous response asked a question that may help us determine what the problem is, but you didn't answer it.
I'm wondering the same. You said you tried to install "a few" recoveries. Where did you try to install them from?
In particular, some people are trying to install CWM for the wrong device (Tegra3 quad core) onto our version of the phone (Snapdragon S4 dual core) and messing up their phones.
I was on the onxroot web site and got it from there yeah I just checks I was flashing the qual core version of cwm and twrp I just flash twrp 2.18 or 17 I'm note sure and is working now but I'm not sure because I've see there is a beer version 2.20 I think but I try to flash it and it would not stay I would have to flash it every time I boot up
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Don't flash things from random websites. Stick to the development subforum for our device. Also sounds like you may need to slow down, and do more research, before flashing anything more. People have been warned so many times against flashing things meant for the quad core One X, using CWM on our device, etc.
Not sure how to fix flashing the wrong recovery. Maybe somebody has some a suggestion.
My only idea would be to relock the bootloader and run the RUU. But not sure if that can somehow do more harm than good.
Just flash a proper recovery from hboot, then fastboot boot "nameofrecovery".img
I flash the right one already but it's a old version but when I try to flash the update twrp recovery it won't stick I have not done no harm to my phone it still works ims still using it

You may have actually done harm to the phone, since the partitioning on the Tega3 and Snapdragon versions of the phone is different. You're lucky you can boot at all after flashing the wrong recovery.
I had done a back up with the twrp recovery and once I try to boot up it would not load but like I said I have the correct twrp but all o need to know is can I flash the update one or what is the latest twrp version for my att HTC one x

I can't quite follow what state your phone is in at this point, but if you have a bootable, rooted system try installing GooManager (linked at the site I posted) and run the Install OpenRecovery Script option. Otherwise, download the boot.img and install it through fastboot. Instructions are on the site I linked.
Damnn thanks so much I downloaded goo from the play store and download the recovery script.IMG and i got the correct and updated version of twrp simple as that I just need to thank everyone on here for ur help tread is now closed

Like the topic says. Brand new 1x, flashed Cyanogen rom and rohan kernel. Also rooted obviously.
I bought an unlock code online which didn't work. I knew someone w/ ATT and asked them to get me an unlock code. They did and it was the same # that I bought online. What am I doing wrong here. Ive unlocked plenty of phones before so I know the drill. Please help.

Could you please explain how to do that. I am familiar with flashing using a recovery such as CWM or TWRP. Can that be done that way or do I need to use an RUU on the computer?
Does the bootloader get relocked?

What do you want to do? Go to a Sense ROM? Just go to the Android Development Section and choose one you like and flash it through recovery. Simple as that.

Thanks, I think I'll try that. Doing it the "official" way of using the RUU files always errors out in the end. It doesn't give a reason.
I already put the stock recovery back on, I guess I'll have to put TWRP back to to flash again...
frustrating.... All to just sim unlock my phone... aaaahhhh!!

I didn't want to take any chances with a 3rd party rom that just so happens to have sense built in, I wanted the original OEM software. I was having troubles because I was having a hard time finding the correct RUU file to flash. Look at these file names and try and decipher them:
RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.85.502.3_R2_Radio_0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L_release_262092_signed.exe
Or
RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.73.502.2_2FE6772699D8596307CC997452BB8D25.exe
BUT NONE OF THOSE WORKED!
But I found this: htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe. and it worked. At least this file name has AT&T in it...

The stock pre-rooted ROMs are all posted in Development as well. You could have just flashed one of those from recovery, instead of having to relock/re-unlock the bootloader and mess with RUUs.

Nope. I mean, not this time I couldn't. What you said is 100% true, I "could" of done that, if I was able to access the External SD card within recovery, which I could NOT do. I could not mount it on the computer, nor could I access it within recovery. I kept getting access denied.

sounds like corrupted sd card...you should be able to mount from twrp. Did you factory reset from fastboot at some point or did you have cwm installed ? you may have to format sd
So I just recently got my new One X after breaking my previous one. I got it back with S-Off and changed CID which I thought was strange. I unlocked the bootloader but it seems as if recoveries won't successfully flash. I don't get an error while flashing either. I assume that because of this, I'm not able to install superuser. Any suggestions on what I could do? If more information is needed, let me know.

I am an idiot.Simple as that. Turns out I was flashing a recovery for the One X+. It's all good now. The right recovery is flashed and SuperSU has been installed.
