Rooted 2.20 now cant boot my phone

Hi Everyone,
So i followed all the steps to temp root 2.20 including successfully installing TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project). I then downloaded the CM10 rom and extracted the boot.img as per posts and rebooted into the bootloader and flashed the boot.img from CM10 via Fastboot. However after doing then rebooting to Recovery mode in order to flash the ROM, i get stuck in the red text where it gives you a warning about it being in development mode or something.
I am able to successfully boot into the bootloader via Power+down volume. Additionally I am able to boot into the TWRP recovery just fine, however I am lost and have no clue how to restore my phone to either the CM10 ROM or most importantly at least to stock working condition.
When i got to mount the SDCARD via twrp normally i would get a pop up on my screen and allow me to access my SD card, now i get a pop up just telling me that i need to format my SD card first. I'm afraid some how my SD card got wiped or something.
Can someone please walk me through the steps on how to restore my phone. Please if possible i would appreciate using LAME terms as i do not have any experience as you can tell i screwed up :/ Can you please listed step by step instructions including commands for Fastboot/adb etc etc if needed. Thank you very much for your help and support.

I've typed and retyped a response to help. I'm so tired and my brain is mush. (More so than normal) if you can't find any resolution by morning? Pm me and I'll try and help. Something about pluggin the USB in The back of your pc something something....... snore

I know you tried to help, but it appears now I have bricked the phone. Hopefully i can fix it as i still have access to Bootloader and TWRP recovery. I'll PM you in the morning, thank you.

dont factory reset in bootloader. only factory reset in twrp. sometimes evita has a hard time getting into recovery from bootloader. just keep trying to get into recovery from bootloader. also even if your phone doesn't boot all the way adb sometimes still works. so try "adb reboot recovery" while its trying to boot.
if you did corrupt your sdcard try this method to get it fixed without having to run ruu.
[How to] Fix corrupt/unmountable internal storage on the HTC One X/XL
when you get your sdcard fixed remember to wipe everything and then copy cm10 and gapps to your sdcard and flash. since boot.img is already flashed you shouldn't need to do it again.
you did flash boot.img as "fastboot flash boot boot.img"? i made the mistake of flashing boot.img to recovery instead of boot. i was freaking out. just to make sure flash recovery again "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img"

Yes i did fastboot flash boot boot.img from within the Bootlader. FYI that boot.img was from inside the CM10 zip file. I belive my SD card is corrupt i will check out that link. FYI I am able to get into Recovery mode form the Boatloader if i chooser recovery. However since the SD card seems messed up i can't access it currently. Also I tried to use the method to install the CM10.zip file using TWRP recovery. That recovery has a GUI and you can click on the INSTALL button and choose the zip file you want to install, however it errors out.
What is the proper way to flash a rom when i am in the TWRP recovery? Can you provide me with the commands/steps? Thanks for all your support guys.

install/install from zip/browse to your zip/slide to flash (they really should patent that)
now most of us, to do a clean flash, we'd go into the "wipe" menu in TWRP before flashing , factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system. then we flash our rom.
hope that cleared it up!

You won't be able to flash anything until you fixed your sdcard using the method in that link.

Ptesmoke where have you been? DvineLord is the only one been helping here. The Q&A thread is a mess. where is edditsync chongo, rohan and the other superhero's. I feel like Hawkeye trying to shoot sh#@ down with a bow and arrow. Waiting for ironman, hulk, Thor and the other avengers to get real sh#@ done. I'm tired going to sleep now.

I tried to fixed corrupted SD card as per video. however after flashing the recovery.img via fastboot when it wants me to do a factory reset instead of doing the factory reset it just goes back to the HTC brilliant screen with the red warning text and sits there. If i go to twpr recovery and click on install i can't access me zip currently due to sd card issues.
Is there a way to format via PC since it lets me as long as I am in twpr and just put stock files/folders onto the SD card? Or is it possible to install the 2.20 ruu again? I re-downloaded it form HTC's site while I am in twrp however I cannot install it won't detect my phone. Thanks for your help.

"fastboot oem lock" then run ruu. ruu gets run in fastboot.
after the ruu, reunlock bootloader and flash twrp, copy cm10 and gapps to your sdcard, flash boot.img in fastboot, wipe everything except for external storage in twrp, flash cm10 and gapps in twrp, then reboot.

If you can get into twrp and go to mount, mount usb storage and connect your phone windows should prompt you to format the SD card.
Once that's done you can drag and drop the rom you want to flash then boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img.
If you want to run the ruu you need to relock the bootloader first.
To do that you must go into fastboot usb and then type fastboot oem lock.

I'm sorry i'm not too tech savy. Can you clarify how to Fastboot OEM lock. Assuming i just need to be in fastboot mode and run a command in command prompt?
Also once that is done how can i run RUU via fastboot? Right now i have HTC RUU for 2.20 from august that i downloaded from their site and not sure how i can have it detect my phone. If you could clarify and explain those steps in Lame terms i would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.

That's the command you do and the ruu is an exe file so get into fastnoot on your phone from bl and run the ruu after you've locked the bootloader

Thank you both will try that now.

Hey guys thanks for all your help and your support it worked. I had the wrong CM10 file instead of Evita i had the other one :/ That was the issue all along ugh... but all resolved could of not have done it without your support. Thanks!! I can now finally go to bed.. been at it since 10pm, now 3:11am

Maybe you can help me . I'm having the same problem. The problem is, everytime I try to use any fastboot commands, it'll say "waiting for device". I'm stressing out.

Make sure you have the right drivers installed, download the latest htc sync from htc's website.
Install HTC sync connect phone and let the drivers install, then make sure you close htc sync from the system tray and try again.
Like DvineLord said below make sure you're in the bootloader then select Fastboot once selected it should say in red writing Fastboot USB.

fastboot only works in bootloader btw

Hit the thanks button for the people helping you fix your boo boos.
If you can type it, click it for them, least you can do in return.

[Q] Help!! Can't flash new ROMs!

Hey guys, I'm on an HTC One X (AT&T) (evita). I'm currently running ViperXL, but it's very glitchy and often restarts or loses signal. I was previously running CM10 and went through a bit of trouble flashing this ROM. I kept getting the message "Installation Aborted" with no status error when i tried to flash and am experiencing the same problem now. I know i've been using the correct ROMs for the evita version not the endeavoru version (or however it's spelled). I think what I did when I transitioned from CM10 to ViperXL was factory reset from the bootloader (accidentally pressed the volume button too many times), then reloaded CWM onto my phone, factory reset, wiped the cache/dalvik, and flashed. But, now I'm getting the installation aborted messages again and I don't plan on factory resetting (i doubt that helped in the process before anyway). I'm thinking that I would need to unroot then reroot to fix this problem, but I'm fairly noob so I'm not sure. I also believe that I lost the back up of the stock ROM and i'm not sure how much that has screwed me over.

Never factory reset from bootloader, all it does is corrupt your sd card. Please provide more details, what are your current bootloader details? Which recovery version are you using?

Try changing recovery to TWRP, I'm not sure if it's going to help but it's worth a shot. Here's how:
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 enter recovery on your phone.

How do you format the sd card?

Enter TWRP recovery, select mount from the menu, connect phone to pc, select mount usb storage, the card will now show up in Windows, try to access it and it'll prompt you to format it, select fat32 format and wait for it to finish.

Have you tried RUUing back to stock and re-rooting?

Mount usb storage in TWRP recovery and format (fat32) the sd in Windows. It looks as though you've done a factory reset in bootloader at some point which corrupts the sd card. Once you've done that I'd suggest trying to flash another ROM, if you still have problems you'll probably need to RUU as Rolltribe suggested.

I tried mounting SD card and formating, using twrp and cwm. To try the RUU is that something that is done through fastboot USB?

And the format didn't work? An RUU is an exe program that's run through Windows while the phone is connected, usually in fastboot mode.

Having about the same issue on my phone. I have TWRP 2.5 on there. Tried to re-install viperxl and it goes through the install OK and then just boot loops.
Tried to use the RUU listed above and it fails with an error code of "Error 159 image error"
The RUU is going from Image version 2.20.502.7 to image ver 3.18.502.6
I had a different error with another RUU image I downloaded from HTC but didn't take notes on error.
Any idea's?

after that does it do anything further or just stays there?

If the proccess has been done correctly you probably have S-OFF (check your bootloader screen) and as long as you say it is stucked at Juopunutbear screen it means you have installed Juopunutbear enginering hboot so you should be able to flash recovery even if you are not htcdev unlocked.
However if you have not an ENG hboot you can flash a recovery by copying a PG58IMG.zip with a custom recovery to your sdcard (it needs an android-info.txt file and the recovery of your choice with name recovery.img inside the zip so you can flash it from your bootloader).
You could also try a factory restore or an RUU to save you from bootloop (the S-OFF remains).The first time I S-OFFed my device (with wire-trick/without htcdev unlock) I did factory restore to save me from bootloop because when I executed temp_root_remove.bat could not revert my system back.

I've got a terrible issue with my phone(s-off, locked bootloader, 4ext smartflash enabled). I need to flash a rom by recovery(4ext), but i always get the following messsage:
<<E:can't open /Rom (bad)
Installation aborted>>
Actually i've sent my s4 back to client service for a problem with volume buttons, sensation is the own phone I could use. what can I do ? I really need to solve this problem !

this is the latest version of 4ext

but you have to use the recovery.img via fastboot

plug your device in fastboot mode and select fastboot from bootloader
if you see in your hboot screen fastboot usb then your device has been recognized
you can check it also with fastboot devices

i've plug my phone, i got back a prompt from pc saying the device could not be recognized or could be broken. i tried to flash recovery but command prompt is stuck on "waiting for device". i also tried to flash older roms(even gingerbread one), i always get (status 0) error. is there a way to restore the original firmware from a ruu ? Or anything else ? Or it's officially bricked ?
I had a little progress ! the phone now can mount sd-ext, sdcard and other partition, but flash interrupts due (status 1) error. what now ?

i saw again your first post
you have locked bootoader so you are limited to fastboot commands
flash 3.33 universal from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
then try again flashing 4ext recovery via fastboot

Great ! just a thing: how do i check my md5 ?
I've found a way to get 4ext via zip from hboot, now recovery works againg but there is even the same problem: i can't flash any rom! just as curiosity, I enabled zip signature verification, but i'm told it's "unable to complete zip signature verification", due to some error.

download md5 checker for pc
open that program
navigate to the zip and select it to check the md5 sum
about that problem i don't know what to say
what error does tell you?

I dont want to open a nwer thread but since my problem is very similar I will post my problem here.
I am using andrid Revolution 7.6 and I have some problems on phone since I installed fasut123 kernel - i think my device just can manage the highest clock, so now I want to re-flash the rom. I have problem with the reading of my micro sd card.
I have a few problems
1)I got the message "mounted readonly" but I have solution how to fix that, that is the smalle rproblem.
2) the bigger problem is, when I formated the sd card, put it back in the sensation phone, and the device puts the file sistem on the sd crad and I put a cosum rom on the sd card, when I reboot in the recovery it says "error mounting sd card". Then I reboot the phone, and It just works normally, I can take videos, photos, the card is woking. But when I reboot to recovery, nothing.
I tried almost everything I thought will help, but I had no luck.
What do you think, what is going on, what is the problem?
