I have HTC One x (At&T) US Version and using it in India.
It has Stock ICS 4.0.4 and Already Rooted,
Already S-OFF,
has Custom Recovery TWRP and
SCID is 111111111 and
Software number/Build Number is 2.20 and
Kernel version is 3.0.8-01558 .....
Now my Questions is :
1. How to Update is to jelly Bean and if i Update it to Stock/Custom jelly bean then do i have to unlock/S-off it again? If Yes then How to do it? Any Given Link will be Highly Appreciated.
2. I read some Posts/Comments on some 4.2.2 Custom roms threads that "Highly recommend latest Jellybean firmware".. what does that mean? (my confusion is if i already have latest jelly Bean Firmware then why would i search update for jelly bean? )
3. if it is recommended to have latest jelly bean firmware before update to 4.2.2 then can anybody give me the link for that?
4. HTC One x AT&T has beats Audio.. if i update it to Any 4.2.2 Custom Rom.. then will beats Audio Work on new Rom? (I know it is Noob Question but i really want to know because i want Beats Audio For Music)
Thanks in Advance
1. All you need to do is install a stock 4.1 ROM from our Android Development section. Or you can install a custom ROM if you want to. The How-To Guide For Beginners link in my signature details how to do this, along with other basic operations.
2. The reason there are recommendations to flash the 2.15 firmware is because many people with a modified phone don't have the latest firmware even though they might have the latest ROM. In the world of modified phones it's completely normal to switch ROMs without changing your firmware. For someone with an unmodified phone the only way to upgrade your ROM is to also upgrade your firmware. Before deciding if you need to do this (you most likely do) I need your bootloader details, the first five lines.
3. You'll find the firmware package along with install instructions in the first post of this thread.
4. Yes, Beats is incorporated into all current Sense ROMs. If you decide to install an aosp ROM it isn't incorporated.
Further to all those answers, I'd strongly recommend you do a lot of reading before proceeding with anything. Modifying a phone requires a certain level of knowledge, without knowing what you're doing (and the consequences) you can quickly get in over your head and end up with a device that won't boot, or worse.

First of all thanks a lot for replying So fast and giving your time to help me...
my bootloder details:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID- 11111111
HBOOT-1.14.0002
and also my Software number/Build Number is 2.20 and
Kernel version is 3.0.8-01558 ..... is it ok or first i need to update both ?
If you want to update to Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 you first need to flash the 2.15 firmware found in the thread I linked you to before. Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so all you need to do after flashing the firmware is to install a ROM of your choosing. If not, just look in my How-To thread for instructions on how to do that. There's no need to worry about your current ROM/kernel, flashing a ROM will update those.

i am stuck at firmware...this error comes everytime... screenshot attached... please see ...
Try opening the command prompt from within the fastboot folder. To do this just navigate to the location on your PC where fastboot.exe is located, then shift + right click anywhere within that folder, then select open command prompt here. Now start the process from the beginning. Then when you get to the part where you flash the firmware you don't need to cd to the location, you just do this:
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

but

a lot coz i am noob :'( )
You still have the 2.20 build number because that's the ROM version that is currently installed on your device. All you have done so far is update your firmware, that's completely separate to your ROM.
At this point all you need to do now is install a ROM. You'll find Sense 5 ROMs in our Android Development. You'll find instructions on installing a ROM in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature.
To install a ROM you first need a custom recovery, go into your bootloader and select recovery, tell me what happens.

Yes, i have already installed Custom Recovery TWRP... now i think all i need to do is install a ROM .... so should i directly install any 4.2.2 custom ROM or first i should install 4.1 then after 4.2 ?
You can install any custom ROM you like, no need to install a 4.1 ROM first. But you should make a backup, check my How-To Guide For Beginners thread for instructions on how to do that.

Installing a stock ROM doesn't affect your bootloader or your s-on/s-off status, it only writes to the /system partition.
That ROM does contain some at&t elements, but whatever SIM card you're currently using should be perfectly fine. Once you've SIM unlocked a device you can use any SIM card on it.
Basically you can use any ROM found within our device forum and you'll be ok.

Exactly which version of TWRP have you installed? Did you make a backup earlier like I suggested? If so you can use the restore feature in TWRP to restore that backup of your previous ROM. I do need to know which TWRP version you're using though.

Ok there's your problem, TWRP 2.5 is full of bugs. Download the modified version of 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 should be able to install the ROM.
An md5 is like a digital fingerprint of a file. It will be listed on the download page for a ROM/kernel/radio. What you do is use an md5 checking app/program to check that the md5 of the downloaded file matches the md5 listed on the download page. If it matches you're all good, if it doesn't match it means the file became corrupted during the download. You should always check the md5 of anything you're about to flash, a corrupt file could damage your phone if you install it.
Once you have installed the ROM you should reboot back into TWRP and use the backup feature to backup system/data/boot. Then if you have any problems in the future you can use the restore feature to restore it and you'll have a working OS.
It's also a good way to have your favourite ROMs backed up. Once I decide I like a ROM I set it up with all my apps and settings and then make a backup. That way if I ever want to use that ROM in future I can easily restore the backup and have a fully setup ROM ready to go. It's much easier than installing a ROM from scratch and setting it up all over again.

you have already unlocked the bootloader? you just want to know what ROM to choose? It is a highly personal choice.
do you value (speed/stability/bleeding-edge-features/audio-quality).
would you prefer an AOSP ROM or Sense (Android Open Source Project or HTC's skin).
can you live without some features? Do you need the latest google camera (with the photosphere).
there are plenty of great ROM's for this device, but you'll need to be a bit more specific about what you want.
Read a few of the threads about specific ROMs and see what features they have/lack, what bugs they have, and whether you think it will suit you.
If you want Jelly Bean, you are stuck with AOSP ROM's for now (until HTC releases the JellyBean update for this phone). So quite a few of the threads in the One X Original Dev forum will be relevant.
Just remember when you go to flash the ROM, you'll need to flash the boot.img through fastboot (as you have hboot 1.14).

if you have a recovery on there (like TWRP, do not use CWM!!!), then yes, you can put a ROM onto it. transfer your ROM onto the sdcard and you'll probably want the Gapps there as well. Then power off your phone. Hold the volume down button and press the power button for a couple of seconds (do not release the volume down until your recovery is loading. With hboot 1.14 you will need to flash the kernel seperately (in fastboot mode with the usb connected to your computer, you should run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" from a folder that contains fastboot and boot.img (which can be extracted from the zip file of your ROM).
you can downgrade your hboot, but do not attempt to do this until you fully understand what it involves. Please read up on how it is done, as an error doing this can permabrick your device.
I am quite enjoying CyanogenMod 10. I have had better luck with the later nightlies than the stable version of this ROM, but YMMV. There are plenty of good ROMs to try.

if you have an evita device, then this ROM is compatible with your phone. I haven't tried it myself, so make sure you read through the forum for all instructions relating to that ROM.
there is a downloads link in the initial post of that thread, if you follow that, you will find the ROM. I won't to link directly to the download, as if the ROM is updated you'll end up with an older version, but if you go to the developers thread, you'll get the latest.
Newtoroots JB rom with Sense 4+ is available and stable now. I've been waiting for JB with Sense for a long time and it's perfect, i'd give it a go.

Hi,
Normally, I try to troubleshoot things myself without bothering others, but I'm in need of help this time. The tricky part is, I just bought this HTC One S from a stranger, so I don't have its complete history. With that said, here's what I need help with. The phone came with Pacman installed (v18.0.0). But, I would like to install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082451
It's basically a stock ICS ROM (the lite version mentioned with stuff removed). In attempt to do this myself, I found this post on here:
Yes the only other solution for you involves rooting. It is possible to go back to ICS by rooting your phone, going through a bootloader downgrade, hexediting a particular partition, then running an older compatible RUU... Its all possible, but requires some time to understand and do. And definately requires a few wipes of phone data in the mean time (which can be backed up through titanium and custom recoveries).
Only need to do that if you want to downgrade hboot. All you have to do is root and flash a rom, I have JB radio and hboot and run ICS Trickdroid 8.1.0.
So, I put the ICS ROM in the internal sdcard, did the usual wiping stuff (I've owned several HTC phones, so this part I know how), then installed the ROM. Unfortunately, it didn't work. When I rebooted the phone, it got stuck in boot loop. It would go to HTC logo screen with the development purpose only warning and just keep turning off and on. Fortunately, I was able to get back into recovery and restored it to Pacman. So, apparently, you can't just flash any ICS ROM over JB setup... Can someone help me figure out what I need to do to install that modified stock ROM please? I very much appreciate your help. My One S is S4 from T-Mobile.
Thank you,
GT
Did you flash boot.img?

thats weird.. if you wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and system.. it should be fine.
which recovery do you have? cwm or twrp? flashing the rom after wiping everything i stated before, and then flashing boot.img depending on your hboot [btw, go to bootloader and see what it says for hboot. if it is higher than 1.13, you need to fastboot boot.img.

2. are you trying to install a TMOUS ROM?
3. since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to fastboot boot.img [let me know if you know how to do that]
4. also since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to flash some partitions or else your WiFi won't work.
Let me know if you need help doing any of the above, but start out with installing TWRP first.

Thank you for such a prompt reply. Here are some of my answers.
2. Yes, the ROM I want to install is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082451
It's the light version mentioned in that first post.
3. I just read up on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
I think I got the idea, but just to double check, is this what I need to do after every time I install a custom ROM?
4. The partition files exist on the phone already, and I read some, so I have a basic understanding of it. But, the developer of the ROM I want to install says it is not necessary with that ROM, so hopefully that's true.
I am amazed by how different everything is from a HTC phone to another HTC phone even when they seem so similar!
A quick question. Does EXT4 exist for HTC One S? I used to use that for HTC Sensation and loved it. I'm guessing no, but I thought I'd ask.
So, to sum it up, is this what I need to do?
1. Flash TWRP recovery (please tell me how to find the right version for S4. all in one toolkit doesn't work on my phone).
2. Wipe everything and install the ROM
3. Flash boot.img
4. If wifi is not working, try the partition files
Please let me know if I got this right. Thank you,

If the Toolkit can't see your phone then you might need to install the drivers that come with it for it to work.

3. Yes, since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to fastboot boot.img everytime you flash a ROM, unless you want to downgrade?
3.5: like Darknites said, you will need to install drivers for your the One S if you haven't already. You can download HTC Sync, and they'll install automatically [this is needed for being able to fastboot the boot.img]
4. They do exist, but everytime you wipe before flashing a ROM, they also get deleted, but try using the ROM without flashing the partition files and see if it works, if not then flash the partition files.
5. Yes, I'm pretty sure EXT4 exists with the One S, but am not 100% sure, maybe someone else can confirm this?
Lastly, here is where you download TWRP:

scroll down and download the link for the S4 VARIANT, but you need to have drivers installed before doing this. and you will need to fastboot the recovery, since the download is an image: to do so, go into cmd, type cd c:\ (whatever your fastboot folder is called) and enter
then, type: fastboot flash [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img. Should take about 2 seconds to flash.
BTW, here are the drivers:

3. Yes, since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to fastboot boot.img everytime you flash a ROM, unless you want to downgrade?
3.5: like Darknites said, you will need to install drivers for your the One S if you haven't already. You can download HTC Sync, and they'll install automatically [this is needed for being able to fastboot the boot.img]
4. They do exist, but everytime you wipe before flashing a ROM, they also get deleted, but try using the ROM without flashing the partition files and see if it works, if not then flash the partition files.
5. Yes, I'm pretty sure EXT4 exists with the One S, but am not 100% sure, maybe someone else can confirm this?

Thank you so much. Yes, I tried installing the drivers using the toolkit's function, but I haven't tried HTC Sync option. Maybe that'll work better. I think I know what I need to do now. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you, dr_rick13 and other kind members who responded to my call for help.
I was able to troubleshoot this, and now my phone's working the way I wanted it. Just one correction on dr_rick13's instruction:
then, type: fastboot flash [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img. Should take about 2 seconds to flash
recovery is missing in that line, so it should be fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img
I know it was just a typo or forgot to write it, but I wanted to point this out in case some other user finds this thread and follows that instruction.
All in all, thanks for everything! You guys rock!

I'm new here too. I understand that you need to flash the boot.img with that hboot, but why? And will it ever be fixed?
I've owned and rooted many a phones and never had to do that. Just curious why it's like that, and if it will be fixed. It's just easier to not be that way. Again, I'm new here, just trying to understand

we do not have S-OFF yet, so until we do.. people with hboots 1.13+ will need to flash boot.img. But HTC still hasn't said anything about when we will get S-OFF or if we will get it.

Its just the way HTC wants us to do it and maybe they feel it be better for us but mostly them. There is a way round it but you have to downgrade the Hboot.

Thanks. Is there any downside to downgrading the hboot? Why don't people do that instead?
When I had the Amaze, the recovery 4ext had "smart flash" which did this same thing because it was s-on

Because of Linux and the fact you brick it to do it too. We meant to be getting 4ext but don't know when.

This seems like out would make things so much easier. I'm not always around a pc when wanting to flash things. If I use this, I should be able to flash away.
But what about resorting nandroids. This doesn't work with that. Hmmm
Just trying to wrap my mind around it

Yep very good app I did use it in till I downgraded.
Hello everyone,
I have used you guys in the past for other devices but never needed serious help, so here I am stuck in a looping hell
I have an HTC One X that I am trying to root and install the TWRP (I want to have an android that is factory set without the carrier info and bloatware ect)
The utility I am using is the HTC One X (Tegra 3/International) AIO Kit By Hasoon2000 v2.5. Here is my main issue:
I have successfully navigated all the steps to root the phone (Steps 1-5) and now when I boot into the bootloader I see the following,
***TAMPERED***
*** 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
Now from here it was my understanding that under "next, flash a recovery" I would simply pick "TWRP" and then click "flash recovery". This seems to work as the green bar in the top right loads briefly. After that I am at a loss. If I go to "bootloader" then go to "recovery" like the instructions say the phone just restarts and I see the Rogers splash screen again...
If it helps, when I try to flash the recovery using the "clockwordmod" it gives me an error "cannot load recoveries/cwm.img"
So to make this easier all I want is my phone to have nothing to do with the carrier on it, all traces of that wiped off at the single file level if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been at this for almost 6 hours straight
The phone is boot looping because you don't have a tegra3 international one x. You have the evita (one xl). Stop what your doing i will post you a link with correct software in a minute.
Read this and then try again.

You're using the wrong toolkit, the Tegra 3/International is the Endeavor. You have the Evita, which is why it says Evita in your bootloader. You can flash TWRP 2.6 by following the below steps:
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 and flash a custom ROM. You've been looking in the wrong forum, that's how your ended up with the toolkit for the wrong device. So always stay in this forum (the one you've posted in), and only ever download ROMs from here for Sense based ROMs or here for aosp ROMs. Don't ever download from a different forum or a different site. That leads to bricked phones.
Oh, and next time, do some more reading before you attempt to alter your phone, you're lucky you didn't brick it. It pays to spend 12 hours reading before trying anything, rather than spending 6 hours trying to fix a mistake because you didn't have the necessary understanding of what you were doing in the first place.

you guys are amazing.... im going to try this now... I hope its not too late because I just noticed that I have no network connection to the provider and no signal I will update as soon as im done
WOW its working.... I cant believe its that easy lol....
On a side note I am in the screen that has install/wipe/backup ect.... so I am kinda lost on what to do from here. When I go to install it has a folder view of the internal phone. Is there something else I need to do to have it boot normally?
If you want to keep the stock ROM but have root, you'll need to download a superuser zip and flash that using the install menu in recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache afterwards.

Do I need to download superuser.zip from somewhere special or does it matter?
As an update when I try to open up SuperSU it says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I select continue and it gives me two choices, either "normal" or twrp/cwm"
I clicked twrp/cwm and it just restarts my phone to the recovery mode and I don't know where to go from there.
(I hate asking so many questions, is there a how-to for the recovery that I just installed? I am hunting around and cant find much)
UPDATE: I have successfully installed super user and everything is good to go, the only thing im still struggling with is the superuser.zip to set the phone to factory settings and get rid of all the providers bloatware/splashscreen ect
Ok, so you've already got a ROM on there with superuser? You can just try the normal method of updating instead of recovery method.

I have the TWRP Recovery installed and also now have on my phone SuperSU installed, the only thing now is to figure out where I download a ROM to wipe out the cell providers bloatware and splash screens ect, I just want an "android" phone with nothing else on it lol
If you want to keep the stock ROM, you can use an app called Titanium Backup to remove bloatware. Or you can go to either of the development sections I listed before to find a ROM you think might suit you.

Yea I bought awhile ago titanium backup pro so I will use that for the bloatware, and as for the ROMS that you listed you mentioned Sense based ROMs or aosp ROMs... what is the difference? Is there one I should use over the other?
It really comes down to personal choice. Sense ROMs are what is installed on the phone when you buy it, they contain the HTC Sense UI.
Aosp ROMs are pure android, if you've ever seen a Nexus phone, that's essentially what it looks like. Aosp ROMs are generally a bit snappier.
There are some really good ROMs in both categories. The devs for our device do an outstanding job. I'm fond of both types of ROM. But, right now I'm using MagioRom, I've always disliked Sense ROMs but this one is Sense 5 and it looks a lot better than previous Sense versions, and is nice and smooth with great battery life.

If you like minimalistic, then aosp is probably the way to go for you. If your buddies are gonna get into modding their phones, I have some golden advice: read, read, read, and read some more before attempting anything. Modding is not hard if you know what you're doing, but it it's very easy to turn your phone into a paperweight if you rush in. Also, only ever get information and software from XDA, other sites don't properly distinguish between our model (HTC One XL/Evita) and the HTC One X (Endeavor).
In terms of installing, it's pretty simple:
1: Make a backup of your current setup using the backup function in recovery. That way if something goes wrong, you can restore it and have a working OS.
2: Perform a full wipe (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system).
3: Install the ROM using the install function. Aosp ROMs also require you to install a gapps package specific to the Android version of the ROM (4.1/4.2). Sense ROMs don't require this step.
4. You are s-on (security on) so you need to flash the boot.img for each ROM manually. 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.

and i also tried to install the official one which is RUU... doesn't works then in some posts says that i should re-locked the bootloader in order to install the official Rom and i did it
and it also doesn't work
and now i stuck i don't even have a recovery to boot on just the bootloader
i give up and took it the htc servise center and called me after tow days and says they can't fix it
please mates i don't wanna throw my phone
any help will be so appreciate
thanks
You are flashing roms for the hox on the hox xl.....you do not have a hox international, but the dual-core HTC ONE XL. So take it to the correct forum and download recoveries and roms from there !!!
Unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery (ment for the HTC one xl) flash the boot.img from the rom, make a full wipe and install the new HTC ONE XL rom

Did you follow the correct procedure to flash a rom ?
1.Flash kernel with boot.img which is available in zip file.
2.Boot into recovery and wipe cache , dalvik cache , system.
3.Flash rom and the gapps.
i guess u have missed the 1st step.
Now all u have to do is unlock the bootloader again , flash appropriate recovery and follow the first three steps again. It doesn't matter if its a custom rom. But be sure to download the appropriate one. Don worry ur fone is not all over. Wait for some expert's opinion. Stay cool.
Why do people repeat the already given answers ? the correct procedure is to download the device specific correct roms !!!

All you need to do is unlock your bootloader again, flash an Evita recovery, and flash an Evita ROM. Your main problem is probably that you've been wandering into the wrong device forum. You have the HTC One XL (Evita), not the HTC One X (Endeavoru). Our device main page is here:

Flashing the wrong ROM can definitely brick a device. Some ROMs have checks in the updater script to make sure they're being installed on the right device, some ROMs don't have checks and just brick the device.

and there is another thing but somehow i don't feel it's has nothing to do with my issue: When i start the device under HTC logo with red font "This build is for development purpose......etc." i'm sure you know it guys
any other help i'll be appreciate it
thanks for you all .

When you flashed RageXL did you remember to flag the boot.img via fastboot after flashing the ROM? You're s-on so you need to do that whenever you flash a ROM. Refer to my How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature for details.
Also, which version of TWRP 2.6.3.0 are you using? Official or unofficial?

problem solved
Guys thank you for all you've done
the device is now working properly and everything is ok
i really send my regards to xda members
and thank you ms.sathish804 to be honest that was my mistake i was doing wrong command witch is "fastboot flash recovery boot.img"
actually i felt like an idiot for me doing that
but it works after i flashed a Kernel named "JB_KERNEL_5.08.111.2_Init.d_Support_EVITA_Installer"
ms.timmaaa i don't know if TWRP is Official or unofficial but i flashed this one openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-evita
thank you guys again
Good news. You've got the official recovery installed, which is fine for the ROM you flashed (obviously). If you device you want to flash a KitKat ROM you'll need to flash the unofficial version. I'd still recommend you check out the threads in my signature, they're a staple for anyone starting out with modifying phones.

I have a one xl cid rogers001 hboot 2.14, baseband 0.23a.3 2.09.29.... jb 4.1 with sense 4+
I tried unlock bootloader by htcdev => ok
install recovery => ok. and when i installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236, it was stuck in bootloader. i fogot root my phone before.
so i relock my device, and tried to flash this stock rom using adb : OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.3 2.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl 6j.zip (was found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119610)
On cmd via fastboot i type fastboot erase cache =>ok
fastboot oem rebootRUU => ok
fastboot flash zip "filename.zip" It says " (remote: 12 signature verify fail") in the end cmd
What should i do now?
Thanks for reading and help me pls!!!!
Ok, first mistake is that you thought you needed to be rooted to flash the Viper ROM, you don't. All you need is an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, which you had. You were probably stuck in the bootloader because you forgot to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip with fastboot, you need to do this because you're s-on.
The next mistake you made was attempting to flash an OTA. I don't know what made you think that you could do that but it definitely wasn't found in this forum (or anywhere for that matter). An OTA is only a partial OS, it relies on the correct stock OS to already be installed on the device to build on top of to update the existing OS. It failed for obvious reasons.
Unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom recovery again, and flash the ROM again. Make sure you flash the boot.img this time and it should boot right up. I'd strongly recommend you read the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature. Diving into modifying your device without the proper level of knowledge is a really bad idea.

Did you perform a factory reset from the bootloader at some point? If so you've corrupted your sd card, you should never perform a factory reset from the bootloader. If this is the case you'll need to use TWRP to wipe your sd card, then you should be able to mount it to Windows and use Windows Explorer to format. Once this is done you can for a ROM across again.
Exactly which build of Viper did you try to flash? What's the exact filename? Did you check the md5 before flashing?

yes, i did it more than once, now it's fixed, but when i mount it to Windows using TWRP, nothing happen, so i can't format it. and the same things when i tried to sideload. But in fastboot mode, it usual.
and i flashed the newest rom in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236 ViperXL 4.2 and i didn't check the MD5
back to my previous question, can i fash a custom rom without root?
I asked for the exact filename of the ROM for a reason, I need that please. Also, exactly which recovery are you using?
Sent from my Evita
Yes, you can flash a custom Rom without root. He already answered that. I strongly recommend reading up on your device before flashing anything else. I'd suggest starting with getting your phone s-off.

I disagree. I think it's a better idea for him to get his head around the simple operations like flashing ROMs before attempting s-off.

I know which ROM you're flashing, I need the filename, as it appears in your file browser or Windows Explorer or something. Like this:
Code:
Romname.zip

And you should always check the md5 of anything you're about to flash. You should do that now to make sure the file isn't corrupt.

it is ViperXL_4.2.0.zip

No sure, but i think you need to have an older version of twrp to flash the Viper like 2.6.1.0...

Make sure you check the md5 before flashing. A corrupt zip could brick your phone.
