Help - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

So i guess i finally got myself in a jam. i have flashed man many ROMS,but recently i hit factory reset on the bootloader screen (i think that is what it is called) instead on recovery and it seems all of my memory has been wiped out. So I have spent many hours trying to figure this out but i am stuck in TWRP with no recovery or ROMS to flash. I have also tried ADB sideload but i keep getting "fail". I am out of ideas. please help.
Thanks!

Your sd card is corrupted, that's what happens when you do a factory reset from bootloader. It's an easy mistake to make. You should just be able to mount your sd card using the mount feature in TWRP, then use Windows to format it to fat32, then you can copy a ROM across to flash.

Maybe brick ... help me please!

I had the french rom 2.8
I´ve updated to recovery RAv1.2.0 ... everything works ok.
Reloaded the phone. Entered at new recovery. Format SD Card (3 partitions) and wipe.
Reload the phone ... it stucks at Vodafone red splash screen.
Reloaded the phone. Entered at new recovery. Format SD Card (1 Fat32 particion). Wipe again.
Same problem. Stucks at Vodafone screen.
I can enter at recovery and fastboot.
In fastboot mode my PC doesn´t recognise this device. Drivers are correctly installed but i´ve tried to reinstall it anyway. But it doesn´t work. PC beeps in the way it does when a usb device is plugged but thats all.
What can i do? Any idea?
I think about trying to put the sd in the PC (now i cant but maybe later) and put a new rom update.zip and try to flash it ...
Please help me
i think you wiped one time too many. usually you wipe first, then flash a new rom. wipe erases stuff on your internal memory. only wipe before you flash, not after you flash. it seems you wiped after your installed the new recovery and formated the SD which is not needed and may be the problem.
so yeah try reloading the rom. put your sdcard into a usb reader and transfer the rom to your card. put card back into the phone. reboot into recovery and update.zip flash it. that should work. as long as you can get into recovery theres always a way to fix, not bricked.

I really don't understand why people think when they reset their phone/wipe data and then try to reboot their phone everything will be okay. You have some options. First, since I'm assuming you deleted everything off your SD card, you don't have a back-up available so you will need a computer or some other way to get a ROM zip onto your SD card. First thing, hold the vol. up and power button to boot into HBOOT. From here you will able to get into recovery. From recovery you can either mount your SD card and place another ROM onto your sd card and flash as normal or you can restore your back-up provided you didn't delete it. Another way, which I have no experience in, is you can boot into HBOOT via abd. No idea how to do it but that will also require a computer. If you can't get into Recovery but you can get into HBOOT, I know there is PD98IMG that you can flash via HBOOT that will give you a working ROM.

Unless you know of another way to get a zip file onto your sd card without a working ROM already or a computer, please let us all know haha, until then you'll need a computer..sorry bud!
in the future, if you ever reset or data wipe (not cache or dalvik cache wipe) always always always flash a new ROM or restore a back-up, as you can tell nothing awesome happens!
thank you not a noob but don't know everything. Thank you again. But if I had a good rom on there and i did what I said why would it not just delete the data on the sd card and then boot up again? Just wondering why. Thank you.

I'm assuming you did the factory reset and not the wipe data from recovery option, so I'm not sure exactly what happens scientifically with the phone itself but when you did it, the reset function probably reset some system files or something on the phone in addition to wiping your SD card. While wiping your SD card won't cause this to happen (I wipe my card from time to time leaving only the clockwork files for my back-ups and photos), whatever the factory reset does to the phone, it changed something that caused the ROM to become unstable and consequently not boot.
Ok thank you. I learn from my mistakes lol thank you again.

To answer your question, sure you can do it without a PC, use a MAC
Bustin' your chops. But in reality, if your SD card is empty you'll need to get a ROM downloaded to the SD, and if your phone won't boot then you won't be able to do it from your phone, so you'll need a computer. Once you have a ROM downloaded to the SD, boot to recovery and flash. This is most easily accomplished by booting to recovery, going to mounts and storage, Mount USB Storage. Now your computer will recognize the SD as a mass storage device. Copy the ROM to the SD, unmount mass storage, flash .zip from SD, choose .zip, flash away

[Q] formatting corrupted internal memory?

CWM recovery 6.0.1.0 was not actually wiping my partitions before I flashed new ROM's I found out recently after installing TWRP. Eventually (after a few ROM installs) my phone started bootlooping and hanging a lot, so I wiped everything in CWM and attempted another flash. Now the sdcard portion of the internal memory seems to be corrupted, and it won't mount or be written to when I flash (via fastboot or CWM).
Any tools you know of that can help me format or repartition the internal MMC so I can try to flash it again? Or at least get it back to stock form to turn it in to the Sprint store and see if they will help me. Maybe it is physically damaged, but I am leaning towards corrupted.
Sounds like a job for Odin.

wiped, bricked tf300 now installing c/roms but still booting to twrp?

hello, last week i bricked my tf300, this is what happened...
i installed the energy rom along with the 4.2.1 bootloader, i was already using twrp 2.4.3.0 and it seemed to work fine for a while but then i had problems with a double screen after trying a different rom (cant remember which) anyway i tried the usual resets and wipes to to fix it but no joy. I then used the wipe data in bootloader thinking a full clean wipe would sort it but it just booted straight into twrp.
in twrp nothing will mount apart from system, ive used fastboot to flash various stock blobs, proper twrp img etc but even tho fastboot said everything flashed ok, i still boot into the old twrp which wont mount anything apart from system.
i then got an old 8 gig sd card and put stock roms and energy rom on root of the sd card , in twrp i mounted system but cant mount cache, data or sd card but strangely, i was able to copy the above roms from the sd card and move them to the mounted system partition which i was then able to install the energy rom with aroma installer , happy days i thought until after installation it rebooted straight to twrp again asking for password?
when i try to install stock roms by the above method it fails because cache isnt mounted. i think the twrp is corrupted, how do i fix this?
could someone with the know how tell me what im doing wrong,? should i full wipe again? should i wipe the twrp and how do i do this?
i am sort of a newb to this and any advice would be great

[Q] Wont boot, need help

I have a phone HTC Desire S
like a year ago I rooted it. Revolutionary method I think...
Well been playing with roms cyanogen etc
Yesterday installed Andromadus 10.1. It was great but the phone rebooted on its own and got stuck on the Cyanogen loading screen I rebooted and it happened again.
I went into recovery and now it says the E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command error :/
Can you guys help me fix this phone?
what details do you need?
I don't know if that error is about SD card or internal memory but have you tried booting without SD card? I think its probably internal memory, but maybe a dodgy SD card would cause that.
Failing that, can you not fully get into recovery to reflash the device? If the recovery partition is corrupt I think you'll need to reflash the custom recovery via adb fastboot command.
Edit: also maybe the cache partition is corrupt and needs formatting
