[Q] Please help phone has no OS - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Okay so here is what happened i unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone using the all in one toolkit, i tried to flash a custom ROM using the GooManager app. This is where things went wrong. After flashing the ROM my phone shut off and would only turn on to the HTC Quietly Brilliant page at the beginning of the boot cycle, i made a backup but dont know how to find it. I somehow managed to wipe the entire phone and now i have no operating system. I had TWRP installed but cannot access it because i relocked the phone. Is there anyway to get this thing working again? any help would be much appreciated
here is what my fastboot screen reads:

Since you are s-on, you need to fastboot flash boot boot.IMG from the ROM you want to use. While you're at it you may as well just s-off your device. It will make things simpler in the end. You're going to have to unlock the boot loader again to flash the boot image though. You will also want to flash recovery again via fastboot.

Take a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172
It will answer many of the questions that you have and provides links to appropriate tools.
You should definitely s-off your device now. Just look for the question in the thread I linked for more detail. Bookmark it as well, or add it to your favorites, as it will provide a great reference point for future use.
Once you have s-off, you will just have to flash any ROM you want from recovery. It will make your life way easier.
If someone helps you, just hit the thanks button, or thumbs up from the xda app.

In the rumrunner instructions to s-off my device it says i need to have fast boot unchecked in settings. I am pretty sure i have it checked but there is no way for me to tell for sure...since i dont have an OS installed is this an issue?

You need to get a ROM booting brute trying s-off. Don't use Goo Manager to install ROMs, install manually through TWRP recovery. Once you've installed the ROM reboot to the bootloader and flash the boot.img. Here's how to flash the boot.img.
Extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and copy it into your fastboot folder on your pc. After you've flashed the ROM and/or gapps, reboot to bootloader and connect your phone, make sure it says fastboot on your phone screen. Then you can issue the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now you can reboot your phone into the ROM.

Okay I was able to flash the boot.img but can't figure out how to flash the rom.. Should I do it through recovery? Or through a fast boot command prompt like the one used to flash the boot.img

This may go with out saying but when I'm in recovery and hit the reboot button and try to select "system" it comes up with a message telling me I have no OS installed and asks if I want to continue anyway..

Use the wipe menu in TWRP to do a full wipe (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system). Then use the install option to the install the ROM (and gapps if it's an aosp ROM). Then reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img with fastboot. Then reboot your phone.

Mount your sdcard through TWRP. You should then be able to drag and drop the file from your computer to your sdcard. It should go without saying that your phone needs to be connected to your computer.

Bricked Htc One S

Hey I am hoping someone can help me. My friend recently bought an HTC One s off of craiglist and it was rooted with a rom by "Team Venom" immediately after purchasing it started acting up and now it is stuck on the boot screen. I can get into the bootloader but then it only starts in to "team win recovery project" and it will not mount. Where can i go from here? Any info would be great.
What version of team win? Is he s off? You may be able to push for via adb. I can never remember how so you'll have to Google it.
In some versions of team win you can push via the advanced menu.

Seems like the kernel (aka boot.img) is corrupted.
Mainly you should try to reflash the kernel in recovery. As far as I understand your post, you can't mount the sd-card in recovery. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The first thing to do is to flash an actually working recovery. You can find an overview here, simply download TWRP 2.3.3.0 in the S4 section. As there is no Viper rom available for the S3 I simply assume you got an S4 device.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode and flash the openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ville.img file by typing 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ville.img' from within your Android sdk workfolder (platform-tools). You should be able to boot into TWRP 2.3.3.0 afterwards and check, if sd-card can be mounted. You should see a mount button in the menu...
Also you should do a nandroid backup of this device at this point. You'll find backup in the menu.
If this is working, you'll need the kernel. Corresponding to your bootloader version and your radio I think we need the ICS version of the Viper rom. You can find it here #6. Download it, unzip the file boot.img into your workfolder, then type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in fastboot mode from terminal/cmd prompt.
Try to restart the phone and wait some time. If it is the wrong kernel simply download the JB version of Viper from here and follow the instructions above.
Flashing the wrong kernel (ICS <-> JB) won't affect your device as long as it is for the S4 device. It simply doesn' boot or work correctly. Reflashing the right one fixes that.
If none of the above helps, I'd simply suggest to restart from scratch with Viper 2.1.0 #6.

Since the device is not new, I would suggest to start from scratch anyway, just to be as clean as possible.
Run the oldest RUU that you can with your hboot version. (I think hboot-1.13 is RUU-1.78.401.2 but make sure..) Then clear storage, factory reset in bootloader, then flash a custom recovery (TWRP-2.3.3.0 or latest CWM), root your OS, and get S-Off. At this point you can format everything including sdcard (in recovery) and you're ready to push your new custom ROM and do a completely clean install.

I can't find the ROM in the recovery mode.
It says install and stuff, I dragged the ROM onto the HTC Internal storage but I can't find it.
What do I do?
I'm going out in the clear saying you misplaced it.
Do what I do, create a folder in the root of the SD called "ROMS" and place the .zip inside of that folder.
Make sure you unmounted your phone in TWRP Recovery.
And make sure you flashed the boot.IMG also to flash Evita ROM for the Evita phone. Don't mix em.
Do not use any twrp version above 2.3.3.1 it has issues wiping properly.

No, your phone is rooted. It has an unlocked bootloader. The problem with fastboot erase cache is it formats cache the wrong way. Just go into your custom recovery and format cache and you should be good.

[Q] How to downgrade from 4.2.2.?

Hi,
I'd like to ask for your help. After an update to Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5.0 on my HTC ONE SV I'd really like to go back to the previous version, I know a lot of people are happy about the update, but I'd really like to go back to the older menus, look etc. I don't mind losing the data.
I'm new over here ... so please bare with me
What info should I provide?
Nina
I can't help you at the moment because I have to get ready for work but for starters you will need to unlock your device, acquire the proper ruu (4.1.2), or if its available on here then a nandroid backup (4.1.2) specific to your device. Then at this point the procedures to take would be based on whether you are S-On or S-off.
Hopefully someone else may chime in on this while I am at work.

To unlock your device or in simple terms the bootloader you will need to head over to HTCDEV.com and follow their instructions. If you wish to be S-Off you will need to get rumrunner for your phone and follow its instructions - otherwise you may remain S-On.

Then its quiet easy:
unlock your device at htcdev.com (follow the instruction on that side.
Then you need to flash a custom recovery (i recommend TWRP 2.6.3) with fastboot, and next you flash a 4.1.2 rom with recovery. Now you need to flash the boot.img that was inside your rom zip with fastboot and you are ready to go
All links you need, you will find in my index thread (look at my signature for it).
To flash a custom recovery with fastboot you will need to insure your custom recovery image file is located in the same folder as your fastboot file to keep this next part simple.
Go into your HBoot then select fastboot. Connect device to your pc and in the command window type:
Code:
fastboot devices
This should show that your device is connected. If you see nothing then you will need to resolve that before proceeding. Next , once connection is established type:
Code:
fastboot boot customrecovery.img
You are booting instead of flashing the custom recovery so your stock recovery will be persevered. Each time you reboot your device you will need to follow those steps again to access the custom recovery vice your stock recovery.
If you wish to flash it then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
I don't recommend you flashing it yet unless you get a copy of your stock recovery first.

Then its quiet easy:
unlock your device at htcdev.com (follow the instruction on that side.
Then you need to flash a custom recovery (i recommend TWRP 2.6.3) with fastboot, and next you flash a 4.1.2 rom with recovery. Now you need to flash the boot.img that was inside your rom zip with fastboot and you are ready to go

Thanks, will follow your advice!
Although instructions are clear, I still have problems
I've tried using different computer, turned my av off, but still get this when i try to run the downloaded file from HTCdev.com:
This aplication has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found.
You are missing files.
You can get them from here: http://rom.android-host.de/DESIRE_C/tools/Android.zip

Need for stock Rogers RUU or Recovery Zip

My HTC One X was bricked, and I need to restore it to Rogers Stock. However, I searched the entire XDA webstie + 50 pages on Google + 50 pages on other country's android site, I cant find any working download URL. Can someone please upload one RUU or Zip file for me, so I can restore my phone please?
If your phone is bricked an RUU isn't going to save it. Either way, you'll find all Evita RUUs here:

The phone actually is soft brick, all I need to do is to flash it back to stock rom, so I can do a S-Off
I have this problem because I attempted to flash cyanogenmod without getting S-Off, thus it end up with black screen boot loop.
Any idea to solve it? I cant find any recovery zip that is working
I wouldn't ruu without S-off. Do you have supercid? If you do, you may brick. Best to boot to bootloader then recovery then flash a sense rom then s-off

There's no such thing as a soft brick, a phone is either bricked or it isn't. Do as exad suggested and flash a Sense ROM then get s-off, then update your firmware (which is probably what was your actual problem).

THat is another problem, there is no CID showed on the bootloader screen.
This is all happen after I get bootloader unlocked, and attempted to flash clockworkmod. It end up with boot loop with black screen, cant get into any system
What I can do right now is
1. boot into TWRP
2. Copy anyfile into phone through TWRP
3. flash zip through TWRP, but I cant find any rom that is working for my phone
4. fastboot usb with any command

The CID doesn't show on your bootloader screen unless you have s-off. What are your bootloader details? What recovery do you have installed? You can check your CID with this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid

Yeah, I kind of know that I need to flash a sense rom, but I cant find any sense rom that is working on my phone.
Here is the info:
Model: PJ83100
Bootloader unlocked
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.23A. 32.09.29
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
Nov 26 2012, 18:37:14:-1
This is exactly what showed on my screen, no CID
Which rom I should use?

The fact is you don't actually need s-off to flash cyanogenmod. You only need s-off to run the 3.18 RUU which updates your firmware, which you don't need to do because your firmware is fine. This brings me back to the other question you didn't answer: what recovery do you have installed?

I used the command
CID: BS_US001
My recovery is TWRP v2.6.3.0
THis is the only version that is working for me, I tried clockworkmod, and higher or lower version for TWRP, but I cant mount USB storage through any of those except 2.6.3.0
Recovery version please.

You just need to extract the boot.img from the rom you are flashing, put it in your adb/fastboot folder and then after flashing the rom.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then you will be able to boot it.
I suggest getting S-OFF using rumrunner so you don't need to take this step anymore. will also protect you in case you need to RUU.

I know what phone you have. an evita. Says so in your bootloader
You need unofficial 2.6.3 from original android dev. if you want to flash cm as you need SE Linux support.
Any sense rom should work on official twrp 2.6.3
make sure you wipe system cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing.
This is what you should do to rule out every issue.
Download unofficial 2.6.3
Check the Md5 of your download
put it in your fastboot folder
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery unnoficialrecoveryfilename.img
select recovery in bootloader
wipe cache, dalvik, system in wipe, advanced wipe
then do a factory reset for safe measure
flash your rom
wipe cache and dalvik
reboot to bootloader
extract the boot.img from the rom put it in your fastboot folder
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
