Problem flashing custom recovery - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hate to start a new thread on something that is probably an easy fix but no one will respond when i replied to hasoons guide. Anyways I am trying to flash a custom recovery but it always gets stuck saying "sending 'recovery' (7992 KB)" I have tried 5+ times and always end up having to hold the power button because nothing will work. The phone is frozen until i unplug the usb, and the terminal on my pc freezes. I also tried the latest version of twrp (2.6) and it said the flash was successful but whenever i go back into recovery it is still stock. My bootloader is unlocked, I have an att one x with android 4.1.1 and software # 3.18 (if it even matters)
Honestly i could care less about the recovery i just need root access. I wont be flashing a custom rom or anything. Can i keep the stock recovery and root my phone?

Yes it says Evita. Sorry, i thought it was the right section.
but seriously can anyone help me? I have tried so many different things to flash a recovery and NOTHING works. When i hold the power + volume down button when the red exclamation mark is showing up the 3 lights on the front flash a few times and the phone reboots. It will not even go into recovery anymore. Do i just have a bad phone or what?

I know you need answers but please continue this in the correct AT&T HTC one XL forum. If somebody comes along and says to flash this and that might even brick your phone completely !

Thread is now in the Q&A section.

Just flash the recovery manually using fastboot. 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 recovery.

[Q] wont bot my AT&T HTC One X

hi everybody today i tried to update my HOX with this stock room "stock rooted 2.33.162.2 - odex/deodex and unsecure boot.img with init.d"
my android version is 4.0.4
HTC sense versio 4.0
Software Number 1.88.707.2
HTC SDK API level 4.11
HTC Extension Version 403_1_GA_4
then after i flashed the room the HTC wont boot (just shows me the white HTC screen) and i still have access to the recovery mode (CWM) i downloaded another room to tried to flash the phone (my nandroid bk shows me an MD5 error when i tried to restore) then i dont have any idea about how can i move the new zip file to the cellphone, i am very frustrated because i cant do it anything yet
please somebody help me
Thanks in advance for your help
If you get it working, the first order of business is to ditch CWM and switch to TWRP as it was not properly ported to our device. Are you sure you have a XL? The dual core version? Make sure you have the right ROM for the right device. I can't help you to transfer as you are using CWM and I'm not familiar with mounting. Word on the street is that there is a good chance it'll wipe your entire SDcard

thanks for your quickly response, well i have an AT&T HTC one X and yes its the dual core version, the phone comes with the CWM, unlocked and rooted, how can i install the TWRP ? because if i connect the phone to the computer doesnt shows me anything (i cane heard the tone when windows detect something new but its all) i tried to use odin but odin doesnt shows me anything and i tried with fastboot and adb but doesnt fount the device connected
from recovery do a factory reset and try again to boot it.... if u have a nandroid backup there is a setting to turn off md5 checking so it will restore......... as long as your using TWRP recovery (which you should be if not) you can mount usb storage and transer whatever you need......

you need to download twrp recovery, should be in the stickies, and flash it from hboot.
stick the recovery image in your adb/fastboot folder and rename it to twrp.img, boot phone into bootloader
from cmd prompt, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then on device select bootloader, then recovery.....once in twrp recovery you can mount usb and transfer..
no matter what just focus on getting twrp recovery flashed...your fixes will all come after that

any custom rom that you flash will be rooted already. As far as the red text goes, that is there to stay until the device gets s-off or you go back to completely stock/use a stock recovery.

sorry for the stupid question but what is s-off?
Security-off....see the phones which HTC does allow bootloader unlocking don't really get unlocked. Their unlocking really just partially unlocks and to have a HTC phone with a truly "unlocked" boitloader you have to have s off. Which gives the user full rights over the entire phone....so htcdev unlocked bootloaders aren't really even unlocked, they're simply less restricted.......

[Q] Will factory reset, relock my bootloader?

Hello all. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone, or so I thought. Somehow, I did not completely root my phone. Busybox installer would not load. I ran root checker and it said my root was not complete. My questio is, if I were to do a factory reset, would my bootloader relock? Thanks

No it wouldn't. Does it say unlocked in purple? Can't remember the specific exploit directions. But you can flash twrp using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.IMG" (obviously change twrp.img to the name or hit tab) and flash a rooted ROM. Haven't done any of the exploits up here, but of you clicked on rooted in my SIG, its a great site you out. Skip to the part after unlocking the bootoader.

Yes. When I have it in bootloader mode, it had changed from locked to unlocked. Thanks for your help.
Did you install custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash SuperSU or SU, or flash a rooted ROM. Because you need to do that to actually have root (after unlocking the bootloader).

Also, I believe the only thing that will relock the bootloader, is you relocking it yourself.

I am fairly certain that is correct. An RUU won't run with a bootloader unlocked unless you are S-OFF and still would not relock. nothing else would touch the bootloader.
I followed the instructions and slashed the recovery, twrp I think it was and I got stumped after there. I am relatively new to rooting. I unlocked both my N7 and N4 a week ago with Wugfresh's toolkit and that was relatively simple for and old guy like me. I will most likely have to go to his website and get complete instructions and try it again.

well i can help you, i recommend going with twrp and flashing a SU zip file. this post is reserved, and will be back to edit...
Edit; Ok, so in this post is two files you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1907931&d=1366808637
and http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip
Download both of these files.
Put UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip on the root on your SD card (basically transfer the zip to your phone)
I downloaded the 2.3.3 twrp img file, since that is the most stable for me. If you want to upgrade to 2.5, then be my guess, but others say it is a problem. i have flashed sense roms and aosp roms with no problems. also, pleae read both paragraphs before attempting to do something. if you do not understand, feel free to comment or pm me. i tried to make it as simple as possible.
So first off download the zip, and extract the folder to a simple location (desktop or c:\). i am going to assume you extracted it to c:\. open up a command prompt by going to Start and typing in "cmd" a black window should pop up. type in "cd c:\rootphone." you are already rooted, but it was already the name of my folder. anywho, turn your phone completely off, and go into the bootloader. i assume you know how to do this, since you were able to read off your hboot details. it is the white screen with colorful text. then select fastboot in red. once a usb connection is plugged in, it should turn to fastboot usb. now in the command prompt (black window on the pc), you need to type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-evita.img (hint: you can type open and hit tab, and it will finish it for you). now you have twrp installed. now boot into recovery, and go tap on Install. find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip, tap it, and then slide to flash. your if successful, your phone should be rooted. go ahead hit reboot, and re-run root checker.
To anyone else (i.e. Venomtester or exad) if i have incorrect info, please let me know
Looks good to me lol. But a more simple method to open the command window is to download adb to desktop. Then all they have to do is open the folder and right-click somewhere away from the files and it will give the option to open command window here. That way they can put the images in the folder and never have to leave it. They tend to mess up hunting the folder down from windows cmd.

Thanks again guys. I have tried several times since last night to get my phone into bootloader mode. I power it off and the push volume down and power and keep holding both. It starts up and the capacitive buttons flash as I get the quietly brilliant screen and the it just goes black with no flashing. I don't know why it will not go any further. I also get an error report every time. Any guggestions? I have tried to use the commands on the tool kit to get it into bootloader mode but no success.

After flashing CleanROM, won't boot up?

Hey, I'm in a problem here.
I just rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader a few days ago. I wanted to flash CleanROM so I downloaded the large 500mb file from their official website and followed the instructions that were there (http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=358).
I have TWRP Recovery installed and as I said, my bootloader is unlocked (using HTCdev). I connected my phone to my computer and set as disk drive so I can copy the zip file of the ROM to a folder named "ROMs" in my storage. I did that.
next, it told me to reboot to recovery, so I used the All in one tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426) to Reboot to Recovery. It did, and put me on TWRP.
The next instruction was to wipe data/factory reset. I did that. Then it told me to install the ROM. I hit the Install button in TWRP, navigated to the ROMs folder, and flashed the CleanROM 6 R2.zip file that I moved in there earlier.
It was a success and it had a button that would reboot system. I pressed it because the instructions on ScottRoms stated to do so.
It showed the standard HTC One logo with a white background but then nothing happens. I tried waiting a bit but nada.
I then proceeded to just hold the power button and then the 3 touch buttons on the phone (back, home, recent apps) lighted up and kept flashing. When it was done flashing, I hit the power button again and it would boot again to the same logo and just go black.
What's going on? Please, I turn to XDA because you guys are geniuses and really nice people, hope this is not a serious problem! I followed all instructions, btw.

What hboot are you on? 1.14 + need boot.img flashed via fastboot.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
To get into boot loader you have to hold power and volume down at the same time. When lights stop flashing release power but continue to hold volume down. You may have to flash boot image in fastboot depending on your hboot version. There are guides to do this in the stickies at the top. Also make sure you know the codename of your phone ie "Evita". Flashing the wrong ROM can be deadly.

For most roms you will have to manually flash the boot image. You can use flash gui to do this for you " available at the play store". Or you could s-off and flash away.

[Q] [help] HTC One X wont boot

Ok guys im pretty new here and im not sure weather this is the right spot to post this.
Anyway, i think i messed up. after rooting my phone successfully and proceeded to install cyanogenmod on it. how ever i saw a guide that said nothing about installing a backup program like clockwork mod.
So now i have a phone that when turned on will only go to the htc boot screen and stay there. or when i press the volume and power button it will go to the HBOOT? (white screen with colored writing that) screen.
What do i do??

Fastboot flash recovery "filename.img" then fastboot erase cache
Then reboot into bootloader and select recovery.
Now you can flash a rom
Don't flash anything other than what you find in this forum or you will brick your phone. If unsure about what your flashing post the complete filename and someone here can verify it's for your phone.

yeah that's correct. i should have watched more guides my bad. Anyway can someone link me a download/ guide link to this TWRP thing
There isn't really a guide, you can just download it here. Put it in your fastboot folder and issue the following commands:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(Whatever the exact recovery filename is)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can select recovery from your phone screen.
It seems to me that you're in way over your head with this stuff though. You need to do a lot more reading before you really do anything. Check out this guide. Everything you really need is listed there.

[Q] HTC One X (AT&T) Won't Turn on

Hi,
I am new to rooting the device. I rooted HTC One X (AT&T) using toolkit by Hasoon2000. I followed all the steps as per my knowledge. Everything went good rooting the device, But when I tried to flash CM 10.1 it was giving me failure error. When I did second time it gave me same error but somehow I thought ROM got flashed and went ahead and flashed kernel. While doing so my cell phone battery was till 50% but once I flashed kernel. Suddenly screen went blank and couldn't turn it on. When try to go into fastboot mode it lights up red led and once and stays there until I hit the power button. After hitting power button it shows the HTC logo and displays the message below logo about device being used for development. then within a second screen gets turned off (no red LED) I tried to keep for charging for at least an hour or so with computer as well as on AC power but results are same. Neither I am able to connect it to computer or charge it. I don;t know what is going on with my device. So please can someone help me with this issue? I would really appreciate if this issue been resolved.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I am new to rooting the device. I rooted HTC One X (AT&T) using toolkit by Hasoon2000. I followed all the steps as per my knowledge. Everything went good rooting the device, But when I tried to flash CM 10.1 it was giving me failure error. When I did second time it gave me same error but somehow I thought ROM got flashed and went ahead and flashed kernel. While doing so my cell phone battery was till 50% but once I flashed kernel.

Thanks.

While it's off, press and hold volume down and power until the Hboot comes up.

Flash TWRP 2.6 if you're not using that version already.
fastboot flash recovery twrpfilename.img
Download cm 10.1 Check md5 to make sure download was good. Also, make sure you're downloading the one for our device. Link will be in original android dev section.
wipe everything (except sd card) in twrp 2.6
then flash cm 10.1
If you get an error, tell me what the error is.

Thanks you very much exad. Is it important to have S-OFF? Can I install android 4.3 ROM on HTC One X. Have you tried that? How can I check md5 to make sure CM is good?
S-off allows you to ruu without bricking.
Yes. I am running android 4.3 cm 10.2 right now. There have been bricks reported though that issue should be fixed now.
Use an md5 checker program. Google md5 checker.

I have flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7.img but when I want to go to recovery it is still sticking on that HTC logo screen, giving message in red and getting it off. I don't know what I can do to go in recovery and do the needful.
Could you also provide me link to instruction to install CM 10..2 with that as well?
Thanks

M7 is the new HTC one device you flashed the wrong recovery. You need to flash twrp 2.6 for the evita.

If you are able to boot into recovery, then you should be able to use the command <code> adb push <code>to copy any file from your current directory in computer to the sdcard

Adb won't work, he doesn't have a ROM to boot into.

Even after installing TWRP 2.6 I am not able to flash the ROM. It is saying:
No MD5 file found.

Wrong ROM. You have evita not endeavour.
Look before you download and flash wrong recovery and ROM because you are on track to brick your device. You have burnt 2 of your lives already.
You have no idea how lucky you are as your device should already be broken.

I think I have installed CM 10.1.2 for evita but now it is not rebooting into ROM. I am not able to reboot automatically. I have press and hold power and volume down key to go into fastboot. I am not getting what I am doing wrong now.

Ok. But listen to what Twisteddx said just before, take your time and make sure you're only flashing things meant for your device. He was right, you're EXTREMELY lucky you haven't bricked your phone yet. Only download ROMs from within this forum!

If you are s-on you need to extract the boot.img from the rom you're flashing and fastboot flash boot boot.img or it won't boot. With S-off this step is no longer required.
