[Q] Can't finish CM10 Flash - frozen on first boot

Did my best and some quality searching but couldn't find any answers.
I have a rooted ATT One X with ClockworkMod Recovery.
On my device ready to flash I have the CM10 Evita 10 stable rom, GAPPS, and some super user app.
Every time I try and flash CM10, it successfully installs but hangs on the initial boot. I've waited more than 40 minutes with no luck, just constant spinning/loading.
Following numerous guides I have wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, and battery status with no luck. I tried with and without the GAPPS and tried reflashing almost 5 times now with the same result.
What should I try next? Is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.

I'm sure everyone's first instinct is to tell you that you just made an expensive paper weight. Even though we all know its a lie. There are several discussions about CWM not supporting the Evita.
So my first question to make sure we don't lead you a stray.
Is your phone a international Onex with The quad core or do you have the one xl or att Onex with the dual core processor?
[Edit] see you stated the att one x.
Next step is to flash a proper recovery twrp is the one you want. And unfortunately cwm has corrupt your SD card so you'll need to format that also

Here is the twrp link. Did you by chance have a backup made? My other thought is if you can go back to sense ROM and download goo manager and flash twrp recover from there.
Or the other option is to run back to stock also.

I made a proper backup with CWM and I have been able to get back into my stock rom. I have restored a couple times now after my failed attempts. The phone still works but I still want CM10.
Are you saying CWM is no good in my case?
What can I do to successfully flash CM10 Evita?

Use that link I sent for twrp recovery.
In fast boot you'll need to erase cache. And push twrp via adb.
Once that is done twrp will NOT mount SD card. However your PC should still find and ask to format. You'll need to format.
Now that way you might loose any backups. So if you want stock on there? I'd ruu back to stock and start from scratch.

CWM should not be used on the AT&T One X, in your case or anyone else's.
CWM was never meant to run on our device, and is just a port. The CWM team doesn't support our device. Due to this, CWM has some known serious issues. TWRP is the only recovery that should be used on the AT&T One X (or other carrier Snapdragon One X/XL variants).

Echo what the others said about TWRP being the only recovery you can use. Once you sort out re-formatting your internal SD, follow the instructions below to flash CM10 once your phone is rooted w/ unlocked bootloader, IF your hboot version is >1.09. If your hboot is 1.09 or lower, you should be able to flash the ROM directly through TWRP without additional steps.
Download and set up adb and fastboot on your PC.
Extract the ROM file, copy the boot.img file and put it in your fastboot folder.
Wipe
In fastboot enter 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
Flash the ROM+GApps
You should be good to go.
There is a one click installer available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962428
Guide to installing adb/fastboot here: http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
Hope this helps. The basic issue with some hboot versions is that it prevents a ROM's kernel from being flashed normally, so you have to manually flash the boot.img from the ROM. Also remember that if you ever switch to a different or stock ROM, you will once again have to flash the boot.img from that particular ROM.

[Q] bricked...kinda

long story short I unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, DID NOT backup (I know) gained su, tried to install cm10 and now I am in boot loop. tried relocking and re flashing stock ruu, that landed me in only booting into bootloader. re-unlocked and re flashed twrp back to boot loop. I am not real familiar with adb so I would need simple instructions please. what do I do? thanks

You haven't given the important information, please post your bootloader details.
PS. You're not even close to being bricked. A brick is only when you have absolutely no response from your device whatsoever.

I can get into bootloader and I can get into recovery but from there i'm not sure what to do, in the original instructions I went to reboot and clicked system, after doing that is when the boot loop started and if I do it again now the same thing happens just bootloops

s-off!!! After you ruu before reunlocking or anything are you still bootlooping? I have had that happen before, I fixed it once with a factory reset in bootloader. Make sure you only do factory reset in bootloader completely stock or you will corrupt sdcard. Running "fastboot erase cache" in fastboot after flashing custom recovery or even stock could help, i always run this command anytime i flash something in fastboot. When flashing a custom rom make sure to do full wipes, i always go to advcanced in wipe tab and select everything except sdcard.

very useful and easy to follow thanks for the link, however adb commands don't seem to be working as when I try any of them nothing happens. even adb devices just says list of devices attached and there is no list and no devices, adb shell does nothing etc. I tried a factory reset from bootloader and it just rebooted into twrp...when from feeling like a king when I finally got su on there to such a dumbass now, and the wife is enjoying telling me I should've have messed with it in the first place.

If you can get into twrp do it then mount your device to pc, copy a ROM of choice to filesystem, unmount phone, do a full wipe, then flash the ROM.

ok so I re-formatted it and was about to enter twrp and mount the drive, I downloaded the latest updated rom from htc.com and tried to load it with twrp that didn't work so I tried to use htc's tool and that didn't work either.

You need to slow down and do some research before trying all this stuff which you have no clue about. You're on a fast track to actually bricking your phone. All you need to do is install a ROM in recovery, reboot to bootloader, flash the boot.img from the ROM via fastboot and reboot into the ROM. That's all you needed to do from the very beginning because you're s-on. Unfortunately the people who were trying to help you didn't identify this and kinda sent you on a wild goose chase

Well he had a corrupted that wouldn't let him mount the SD so my advice was to format it to fat32 then install a ROM from the forum.

The corrupted sd card wasn't until later in the thread. You don't need adb for that anyway, you format it through Windows. All he had to do originally was flash the boot.img via fastboot.

You should be able to just Google adb/fastboot. The traditional way is to download the Android SDK and get it from there but that's a huge download. I know there are sources which will supply you with just adb and fastboot but I can't remember where.

[Q] Tried rooting and stuck on htc screen with red text

Hi, I'm still rather new to this and I was trying to root my HTC one sv because I had my mopho rooted and was using some apps that I really liked.
I went and used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113671 and did all the necessary steps.... When I went to start up my phone is gets stuck on the screen with htc's brand name and below it in red text it says "this build is for development purposes only do not distridute outside of htc without htc's written permission. failure to comply may lead to legal action".
when it first did this i thought it would just take awhile to load, i waited for 30 minutes.
I've tried many things:
clearing all caches
redoing the rooting process in the above url
redownloading the files, double checking everything
factory reset
I've even research the other htc one models and problems through google. I found another superuser with busy box in it for the htc one sv and tried it as well
the service I'm on is cricket and I can still use fastboot and my recovery which is twrp2.6

First off thank you so much ^^ my phone booted after I did that it booted perfectly but I don't know if its rooted. I have to finish up the setup up, what I did was this
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP2.6-92113.img
that was the last step I had did was this and re-install the superuser.zip through the recovery. I really don't know what I did to cause it to go to the boot system so thank you. If you could would you explain how I did that?

@deadruin1991
You accidently flashed your custom recovery in your boot partition. When it was suppose to be flashed to your recovery partition. That is why your android os wasn't loading because the boot partition was jacked up. The boot and recovery partitions are different sizes so there was a major conflict lol.
The only way to have done that was by typing
***DO NOT DO THIS***
fastboot flash boot customrecovery.img
When it should have been:
fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
Anyways, I have created a flash zip with the latest SuperSU and busybox. Just click link below. It will take you to my thread. Click on link in the OP and download SuperSU 1.75. Place it on the root of your internal sd card and boot in to your custom recovery.
Then flash it. And you will be good to go. If you are already rooted then congrats .

Please help only twrp booting

Hello all
Please, Please help, none of the guides have worked, Every guide is just a little different from my situation and nothing works
I have a att inspire.
S-on
boot unlocked
hboot 2.0.0
shipped with 2.2
I installed ran ace tool to unlock hboot. clockwork 5.8.0.0. Backed up. verified back up. Tried installing a few roms. No Success.
Then found a thread that referred to CWM needing flash boot.img, tried that, no luck. then I realized that I have flash a boot.img from a different rom. So I install TWRP 2.6.x which is supposed to flash boot.img automatically. So I went ahead and tried a few other rom installs, DR.Ni, Aosp, carbon, fallen Each rom preceded by a full wipe. No luck. So I verified back up again and "restore" .....no success. The process completed successfully, but every time I "reboot" it prompts for SU install, I have tried both accepting and declining this step neither work...Every reboot the HTC white screen green letters comes up, then blacks out, the HTC screen again, then TWRP loads.

Dude..your boot loader is locked and ur s on. Ur gonna screw up your device

So if I can flash what do I need to do and if there are files I need please, I hope for the love of all that is holy someone can provide a working link.

Wait, you said you are unlocked and then ran the "ace tool." How? It's unsupported, and the files it needs are no longer there. What does your bootloader say right now? And do you want to flash a radio or a ROM?
If you want to flash a radio (why?), you do need S-Off. If you just want to flash ROMs, unlocked S-On is fine. Each time, you'd need go flash the ROM zip from recovery on your phone, then extract and flash the boot.img from the ROM zip in fastboot from your computer.

And you definitely don't need S-Off and actually can't be unlocked to run a RUU. If you want to run a RUU you'd need go relock.

VERY top of screen says "unlocked"b in magenta.
thn blow that s-on
I don't care about radio, just wanted to try out some different roms.
Every freaking rom I fashed would just sit at HTC white screen. I tried like 6 different roms. Not one would work after a completed flash with either CWM of Twrp, that is why fastboot flash boot boot.img, then the problems began I think.

Yes, you need to fastboot flash the boot.img each time. Extract the boot.img from the ROM zip, then flash it from fastboot.

maybe this is the key element I am missing.

Okay,
Then when you do a restore from backup in CWM do I need to flash a boot.img. Is there a boot.img in the backup zip? would I need to extract it? or would "restore" do that.
anyone have a known clean stock rom and boot image. or update.zip the os version I was at originally 2.3.5

I believe restoration of backup doesn't require flashing the boot.img. But if it doesn't boot on restoration, try reflashing the boot.img.

Did he get it to work?

I did a adv restore and selected restore boot, that did not work. there was a boot.img in root of sd card adb pull ang then flashed....no go.
Unfortunately I cannot locate the path for the CWM backup I made prior to all this shYte.,

Well I got Dr. No to work....
Install zip...then flash boot.img
So at least it isn't completely hosed...
I cannot get original backup to work...
Now that I have the process down I think I will be able to find some rom that I can see easily.
The whole reason I started this was to find a rom with a little bigger font or dark background to menus etc, being that I am visually impaired.
Dr No has white back grounds, very hard to see. I tried aosp but that one jjust sits at boot animation.
Anyone have link to best optimized stock'ish rom
Thank you ALL

Dude. Pm me

I PMed you, but I'm reposting my reply here in case others see your question and want an answer.
The original AAHK's author wrote a guide for manually doing what AAHK used to do. That's at http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411. There's also AAHK2, which I've seen but never used. That's at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367322.

Failing to mount anywhere, please help.

Earlier I was trying to "S-OFF" my device so I can rewrite my "SuperCID" so I can update my Hboot to 2.15 and somewhere along that process i've managed to seriously screw my phone over.
Currently, my phone is unable to be mounted anywhere... My phone is without a ROM, so all i've got access to is the bootloader screen, and TWRP v2.7. And mounting my device in recovery mode then pushing a ROM file through "adb" does not work.
I have the AT&T EVITA dual core version of the phone.
I know this was completely stupid of me, and that i've might have made my phone into a pretty expensive paper weight. But any help at all would greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

Thanks for the reply.
No, fastboot is not recognizing my device. However when I emulate adb on my recovery it does recognize. And when i tried to push the ROM file into my /internal_sd it showed that it was unable to be mounted.
I'm not clear on what RUU dont want run that yet...
and my phone is still S-ON, nothings changed there.

Is your device operational outside of not being recognized by PC?

Operational as in texting, calling, and browsing? No... its not. Theres no ROM installed.
The only two screen i have access too is Bootloader screen and TWRP 2.7

Why do not you just connect phone normally and chose mount? Or be in recovery mode, let drivers install then mount that way?

It wont mount anywhere. Nothing shows on the computer when connected.
I dont know if im explaining this clear at all.. sorry

Your best bet is to get to bootloader connect to PC and cmd window fastboot devices. See if PC recognized device or not. If it does reco the device, extract boot IMG from the ROM and flash it via fastboot
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk

Did you run a factory reset from the bootloader by any chance? That could be part of your problem. The other part of your problem is that TWRP 2.7 can have issues with mounting the sd card, so purely for the purpose of copying a ROM across you'd be best off installing TWRP 2.6. Of course that requires a working fastboot connection so you need to sort out your fastboot drivers. What OS are you running on your PC?
One thing I'll add here is do not run an RUU unless you're s-off.

Not really, you flash the ROM via recovery, and then flash the boot.img via fastboot.

Mate, there's no need to give the guy attitude like that, it isn't helping the situation. If you want to help, help, but don't be rude about it.

Well, unfortunately now it looks like you really have bricked your phone. That recovery isn't for our device, we have the Evita so you should have downloaded from here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/Evita
It's too late now, but for future reference you need to be more careful. Flashing that recovery has screwed your partitions, I believe the only thing that will save your phone is if you pay for a jtag repair to be done. You should be able to request s-off at the same time too.
Just out of interest, why did you download from there? What lead you there?

UPDATEEE
so for some reason I held my volume down button and power button for like 5 mins just as desperate last attempt before i give up for real.
and to my surprise im on the bootloader screen now. Luck is on my side i guess, how fortunate.
So now before i go about possible screwing up even more, would it be too much to ask for my next step to recovering my phone?
I have no idea how i stumbled upon that link. i was in status of stress and wasnt thinking clearly.. completely forgot that our model was the evita.
Thanks so much for all your help guys.

First off..I'm not your mate. Second of all I been emailing the guy giving him direction . I told him about the installing on SD and flashing boot.img via fastboot

You're incredibly lucky, usually flashing something that's not intended for your device ends in a brick. 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 select recovery from your bootloader to enter TWRP. Use the mount menu to mount usb storage and then copy a ROM across.
