[Q] Unable to mount /system - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

So I'm very green to Rooting. 3 days into ROM world.
I purchased a used ATT HTC One X. It came rooted with Viper XL 4.0.0 installed. That ROM works fine, however, I would like to update/change it to another ROM. I installed ROM Manager and made a full backup of my current install. I tried using TWRP 2.6.0.0 to flash a new ROM. I did the Wipe and then tried to flash a new ROM. However, when the ROM install is happening (for any ROM tried) I get an error that says... unable to mount /system.
I am able to restore to the ViperXL install with no problem. That is my current backup.
Tried cm-10.2.0-evita.zip downloaded from cyanogenmod’s download site
Tried Dev-3.22.1540.1-Stock-Rooted-DE-ODEX.zip downloaded from stockroms.net
I tried this stock ROM because I thought it might be easier to load a new ROM on top of that. I also tried using the CyanogenMod Installer but it failed to recognize the device.

Any help/guidance is appreciated.

Have you tried using the mount feature in TWRP to mount the system partition? Not sure if it's gonna work but it's worth a try. If that doesn't work I'd suggest running the 3.18 RUU. Then flash TWRP again and see if you can install ROMs ok.

Mount feature in TWRP didn't work. I ran the 3.18 RU and now I'm back on Android 4.1.1 with build 3.18. However, now I'm not rooted anymore. I assume I need to root the phone now? Would appreciate any suggestions on the easiest way to do so.

All you need to do now is flash TWRP again, and then you can flash Superuser or SuperSU to root the stock ROM, or flash a custom ROM.

That is not a ROM for our device. Its for the HTC One (M7), not your One X/XL (EVITA).
You're lucky you didn't brick the phone, flashing a file for another device while you are s-off (device checks are "off" with s-off). Do yourself a big favor, and only flash things that are on XDA in this forum section, or in my Index thread:

Good catch, I didn't notice that.

I've been on CM 10 for a few days now. Everything seems to be running fine with one exception. I notice that my wireless connection drops occasionally. What is used to determine if I have a firmware mismatch?

A firmware mismatch doesn't usually affect aosp ROMs, but you could try flashing another radio. You're currently using a radio that was released with the 5.0x Sense 5 ROMs, I'd suggest trying out one of the 3.17/3.18 radios.
It could be an issue with the ROM itself, cm10 is pretty old. There are a few 4.4 ROMs available at the moment that I've run with zero stability issues so maybe you could try one of those. Overall I believe they're better than 4.1 ROMs like cm10.

[Q] 1.17 S-OFF Revert to stock GB

Can anyone help me to revert my HTC Sensation with Android Revolution ROM, 1.17 boot, S-OFF, 1.0.0.2 4EXT to stock GB ROM ?
I tried to recover some old backup but unfortunately it seems that it is corrupted, md5 check didn't passed.
All partitions are formated, but recovery and 4EXT still works,
So far tried to recover old ROM from OTA_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1_P2_release_208907.zip but with some errors appeared.
I want to go back to original GB rom or ICS just to sell my phone, got now SG S3.
What should I do, thank you for any help.

Before I will sell it, I want to have possibility to download official update to ICS just to try how it works, but I would be glad if this phone would be totally free of my modifications (S-OFF and root access) just like a stock, new one.

After executing this second RUU I only have one choice to update ROM - my actual and working ROM AR HD 4.1.1 is described as 2.08.401.1, RUU is 1.35.401.1 right after process starts it get's me to update error - 155, this error is described as not right update software, but my language is Polish and I think I chose right update. First RUU gives the same error.

Hey, that's easy, don't worry.
Follow this guide: http://tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
to find your right RUU & instructions on how to flash it.
You'll need to flash the RUU twice. (Hboot pre-update)
It's a pain but you may have to try a different ruu try one with ics

[Q] Can't Update From Old CM Experimental: Boot Loops

I've been running Evita cm-10.1-201.0.04-experimental for some time now. Since I'm getting tired of the bugs over the past few months I've downloaded a few different roms to try them out including but not limited to:
AT&T 3.18
CM 10.1.3 RC2
CM 10.1.3 RC1
The latest CM nightly
some random AOKP build I used to use​However, I was getting install failures for each.
Finely having the necessary time to figure this out yesterday, I decided to get it this sucker updated.:fingers-crossed:
I determined that I needed to update my bootloader past 1.09.0000
I accomplished that after updating it with RegawMOD Bootload Customizer using OneXL2.14.dll.
Now only the CMs install. (AT&T still fails, but this time without reason. [there were assertion failures before the bootloader update])
On CM installs: All looks good, reset, then boot loops... 10+ I let it sit for at least 5 mins. Tried on each CM.
Wiped in TWRP cache/darivk/factory resets/system/secure/etc. each time multiple times over.
Even tried loading over fastboot the the boot.img for the respective roms... still boot loops.
Oh, and did a few side-loads... no go.
The only thing that works is reverting back to the experiential.
Red-eyed and annoyed, I defer to the more knowledgeable people of xda...
Any ideas as to how fix this?
Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if this is what's causing your problem, but it's never advisable to mess with the RUU exe files. I'd try running the RUU properly and see if it helps your problem.

Ran the RUU exe...
Errors: "Make sure your phone is connected", etc.
I ran "adb devices" to make sure it was connected prior to running the exe.
I killed-server 3 times before running the exe and 3 other times I did not. Same errors for both.
It's not just the RUU. I can't load a single Evita rom that I've come across, either by side load or through recovery, except for the Cyanogenmod Experimental I have on the phone now.

FYI: Tonight I'm going to update TWRP to the latest version. 2.3.3.0 -> 2.6.3.0
Updated recovery to 2.6 without a hitch.:good:
Attempted installs. No go.
Decided to download a downgrade to test out: CM10.0
As it turns out, I can load this rom. lol???:silly:
Since my original goal was to get it back to a stock build, I decided to give it a go with a rooted stock...

Said ROM will run as well as the CM 10.0.0 and aforementioned CM experimental.
Since I'm giving this phone to a family member when I get the Samsung Note 3, I'm not going to attempt any others installations for the foreseeable future.

My question is this:
I can? Place a cooked ROM with android 4.2.2 and Sense 5?, Having HBOOT 1.14? eye now I'm on android 4.0.4 manufactures, I have the SuperCID, Unlocked bootloader, root the phone and installed the TWRP Recovery
Or did I have to apply a RUU (3.18.502.6) to be on HBOOT 2.14??? and so to upgrade to android 4.2.2???
If I apply the RUU'll have to repeat the process bara release the bootloader, root and install the Recovery?
Thanks mates!
excuse my bad English
You can go ahead and install a custom Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 with your current setup. You'll need to install the Beastmode kernel though or you'll suffer signal loss and reboots. The other option is to upgrade to the 2.15 firmware package.

ok I understand correctly, if it does not work for my rom Kernel 4.2.2 Beastmode more, as I get to the 2.15 firmware upgrade package?

Install the ROM and the Beastmode kernel together and you'll be fine.

When you flash a ROM (with S-off) both the ROM and kernel are replaced, so it doesn't actually matter what ROM and kernel you are coming from.
Sense 5 custom ROMs will install fine on any hboot. But some folks will get signal drops and random reboots. Solution is to either flash Beastmode kernel or flash the 2.15 firmware.

[Q] Advice on flashing AOSP Rom

Hi, its been almost a year since I flashed a ROM on my device, I'm currently on a Sense 5 ROM, ViperXL 4.2.0 to be exact, and its worked perfect and great and I saw no reason to switch to anything else. After a year though my phones been getting kinda laggy, and I mysteriously have very little Internal Storage, even after deleting almost every single app, I only get about 500mb to 800mb of free Internal Storage to install apps. So I'm looking to try flashing a new rom and starting fresh but I have forgotten alot of my knowledge on flashing and was seeking some help.
I want to try flashing the latest stable Cyanogenmod Build 10.2.1
I have a few questions before I do though,
1. Is it still necessary to downgrade the touchpanel firmware?
2. What version of TWRP do I need? I'm currently on v2.3.3.0 but after doing research, I found out there's new versions. Do I need 2.6.3.0 or 2.7.0.0?
3. Do I need to RUU or am I already good to go?
4. Can I flash the 4.4 Gapps or do I need to flash another version?

1) You don't need to downgrade your ts firmware.
2) You can use either of those versions you mentioned, some people have had issues with 2.7 not being able to mount the sd card though.
3) No need to RUU, your current firmware is fine.
4) You need to flash the appropriate gapps for whatever Android version the ROM is, you would only flash the 4.4 gapps if you're flashing a 4.4 ROM.
Is there any reason you're not flashing a KitKat ROM though? Support has ended for the lower Android versions now.
Sent from my Evita
Thank you! The only reason I don't want to use a Kitkat rom is because of stability, most I have seen are in beta or have known problems, I'm planning on using this as my daily driver and don't want to come across any issues.
If you're looking for stability, I flashed CM11 and ran it for a day or two, the only reason I flashed something else was a lack of features. I had no issues in the time I ran it.

[Q] S-Off HBOOT 2.21?

Hi, I just unlocked and rooted my Boost One SV. I can't get S-Off and tried all methods - Revone, Moonshine, and Rumrunners. I did not try Facepalm because I read it does not work with jellybean. My device info is below

I have ADB and Fastboot on Windows 7 PC. My phone is running latest OTA update Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Also I am running a modded TWRP with screenshot capability I found on another site. Any advice is always appreciated. TIA.
Is the model K2PLC_CL the same as K2_CL? If yes, just give facepalm a try. Last week I S-OFF-ed my sister's One SV with latest hboot using facepalm without any problem. Well the difference between her and you is that she owns a K2_UL. But as far as I experienced with my One S the "worst" thing that can happen if you follow the instructions and if your hboot is too high is that your are unable to push the modified mmcblk0p4 for receiving superCID.
Rumrunner usually works on 4.2.2 One SV. At least for all other variants of this phone.
Facepalm exploit should be gone since JB hboot.
The cricket and boost variant is NOT the same. For future reference, do not get them confused.
Use rumrunner universal and insure your device is properly prepped before attempting to use it to S-Off or else you will fail at trying to gain S-Off successfully. This will result in a user error of the current device holder - that being the individual who owns the device and fails to follow instructions or skip steps by taking "shortcuts"...

Dunzo!! Facepalm moment! Yes it was user error. This time I extracted the complete universal zip file into my C Drive folder. Before, I just extracted soju.exe and that caused rumrunner to hang up. Thanks again. Any advice on any custom roms to flash for my device. Is ViperSv Rom the only one for this device?

It's for K2_UL and K2_U. Support for K2_PLC_CL is in the works by my understanding.
It's not for K2_CL.

There is no real custom rom for this device (cm, pac, slim, etc). Viper and dream beats are stock with big/small modification. For best stability/performance you should debloat or even desense your stock rom, root it, and use xposed for desired mods. This combo work best for me.

i have the boost model on 2.21 i have tried rumrunner numerous times over the pas few days with no luck. i have also tried flashing viper rom and it always gets stuck at weather...mp4.
Rumrunner can be some kind of tricky, but i don't know at all, if it is still up and running (on any devices). It's along time ago, when i have heard last time from it.
Asfar as i know, Sunshine supports One SV. It needs a running Os and costs 25 USD. But it does a compatibility test beforepaying.
