Hi all,
Apology if this questions may already been ask millions of time but I am really stucked at the moment and hoping that someone may guide me to the correct direction.
I have got HTC One X-LTE (Evita)
I managed to get S-OFF and also CID - 111111
It has TWRP 2.6
The last time I got it working was on the STOCK 4.2.2 I downloaded from the XDA - then I got into the issues of rebooting and loosing signal from time to time. so I went into my TWRP backup I had and reflashed it using my old backup made from my TWRP.
the reflashed failed and now I can only boot up to the HTC logo and then black screen.
I can get to the TWRP recovery and I have got fastboot and ADB on my PC.
When I run the fastboot devices command --> it shows device connected BUT when i try ADB command ---> no device is found.
It will be much appreciated if someone can guide me to the right direction as I am really stucked at the moment not sure where to start.
I tried searching in the forum but I don't think I went to the correct area/tutorial.
Please help
Thank you
When you made your twrp backup did you select system,data, and boot? If it's hanging at the HTC screen it seems there is not boot.img installed or one that is incompatible with your backup. Open whatever Rom your backup is made from and copy the boot.img to your fastboot directory. Then reboot the phone into fastboot mode and flash the boot.img using this command.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot the phone and see what happens

Thanks for the reply.
When looking at the TWRP backup I copied into my PC - does not have the .img - the one I can find is MD5
Can I use the existing ROM I donwload from XDA like : EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge.zip
when I extracted EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge.zip - I can see the "boot.img" can I use this one?
Thanks

I had a somewhat similar experience with Viper 4.0 ROM - I managed to get Cyanogenmod installed correctly (particularly this one). Take a shot and see if it works - atleast your phone will be up and working.

hmm - Im on ROM dated 09/13, which is not present now. Your best bet would be http://get.cm/get/aOM
Also remember to flash Google Apps (play store, etc.) which is packaged separately here - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

Hi Sandy
Thank you again for your help
I finally got my phone at least booting again.
What i did was I went to the fastboot and then correct to the PC and when it was asking for format the drive, I did format it (fingers crossed) and luckily it let me see the ROm I downloaded from the Stock 4.2.2 Turge version.
Now my problem is that the phone keeps rebooting.
I don;t know how to flash the kernel as suggested on the front page of the thread.
What is the most stable ROM at the moment?
I want to learn how to flash and fix this - I have kept reading post after post but I still can not get myself to where I want it to be which is fixing the reboot issue from the STOCK 4.2.2 Turge version.
I am a real newbie so I am not too familar with some of the fancy terms people use.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again

It sounds like it might be a bad download or something. I noticed u never mentioned wiping the phone before flashing, Are u clean wiping? And also what hboot are you on?

You can either flash the kernel, which can be found in the Android Development section, flashing the kernel is just like flashing a ROM, just install in Beastmode. Or you can upgrade your firmware to 2.15, the instructions are I'm the first post of the ROM thread.
Asking which ROM is best/favorite/most stable is against the rules so we can't answer that question.
When you say the phone keeps rebooting, does it ever make it into the OS or is it boot looping (showing the boot animation then starting over)?

When you said that flashing kernel is the same as flashing ROM, I did it By going to TWRP and the press install and locate the zip file. Is this what should be done?
What is beast mode?
Sorry for the basic questions
Thanks
Yeah that's how you install the kernel. It must be done after you install the ROM. I kinda worded my reply a bit weird, sorry about that. Beastmode is the name of the kernel, you can find it here:

I did try to flash it through recovery but it always failed. Not sure why. I copied the kernel zip file into my phone sd and then I went to recovery and press the install and located the kernel zip file but still failed.

Which recovery version are you using?
Sent from my Evita
Recovery is 2.6.3.
The process failed on not able to fine the MD5 file or something like that. We don't need to extract the Zip file do we?
Cheers
Disable md5 checking in settings. You never need to extract a kernel or ROM zip.

I have checked the setting in TWRP and nothing is ticked.
When I flash the zip, it is still saying "failed due to md5 does not exists".
I am not sure which should be address first but I now noticed that there is an error : "unable to locate storage device"
also came out.
When I plug my phone to PC I can see the storage but why it is saying "storage device not found" in TWRP?
Thanks
Anybody figure out how to fix this? I can find people having this problem flashing 4.4 but I can't flash anything. I've tried to flash mf1 firmware, a 4.3 carbon nightly, and a 4.3 pac nightly. All with the same results. Here is exactly what I did -
I flashed PhilZ recovery earlier on a earlier version of TWRP.
kept getting a "failed" in PhilZ
Flashed latest TWRP via Odin
Tried flashing the above mentioned zips all with the error message.
Restored my hyper drive rls16 backup (4.1.2)
Installed latest TWRP via goomanager app
Edit : my phone is flashed to PagePlus so I kinda have to be careful I'm afraid of using Odin to go back to stock/rooted but my luck that's what it'll take. When I get home I'm going to try it with a older version of TWRP that's the only other thing I can think to try.
Any suggestions or info is appreciated.

Supposedly the update binary here is generic, you could try replacing the one in the rom zip with it

I've tried CWM PhilZ and TWRP all latest versions, and still can't get rid of this.
I Cannot install any rom, whatsoever. I did manage to install a MF1 radio zip, but that's it. I can't install 4.3 or even 4.2 ..
I've replaced the update-binary inside the zips, and edited the update-script and removed the stuff used for recognizing the device, still no dice ..
I ended up flashing a full mf1 img via Odin and then used casual to root/unlock/recovery install - and I STILL get the error. Not sure where to go from here. Seems like nobody else is having this problem unless they're not on the latest recovery and trying to flash KitKat.
Thought I'd share the rest of my story ..
edit: I was able to restore a old backup of 1.7 carbon ...lol. better than nothing or a TW rom, that's for sure.
When you replaced the update binary did you get the same error or a different one? Also, have you tried flashing from internal and external SD?

Sorry I didn't get a notification for this.
I did get the same error. I did get a error 6 once or twice but it was because I edited the update-script file and used word or word pad I downloaded note++ and it stopped and went back to error 7 :banghead:

OK, I have one for you to try, use the original rom zip (don't edit the update-script), when you flash in recovery and it failed, select boot and boot back into recovery, then reflash again. Try it with the latest TWRP 2.6.3.2.
SOLVED ! only took a week ...
I had been using an update-binary file that was posted in a thread.
I took the file from PhilZ recovery ( which I had been able to flash, just nothing else ) and used that one. Imagine that, it worked.

Me too buddy, let me tell ya ..
I appreciate the advice along the way. Thank you.
now I just have to decide if I want carbon or pac as my daily driver for awhile.. Carbon is what i've almost always used after I figured out how bloated and laggy TW is.. Best of all my PagePlus flash is perfectly fine, didn't have to add APN's or mess with anything else to get data to work.
I hope this thread helps somebody else.
I am having the same issue with HTC One.
Could you please let me know how you solved this. Maybe it can help with my device as well. had no luck in our threds..

If you're getting a status 7 error you have to replace the update binary with the latest nightly from cm11 in anything you want to flash. The update binary is universal and will work on anything you want to flash. If it is throwing another error then this won't work.
This will probably only work with cwm or philz.

Could you please let me know how can I replace the update binary with the latest nightly from cm11? Do you need to open zip from latest Nities and put it into my ZIP?
2) I have tried both cwm or philz and I am getting this error

My device is m7wlj for sure. But somehow recovery thinks it is DLX

It's a recovery version problem, so either update your recovery or use an older one until you find something that works.

After conducting my own research with this same problem I discovered a much simpler method of correcting the issue. When flashing KK roms with older versions of custom recoveries, the recoveries did not have sufficient instructions to to handle some of the file system changes in KK. I tried replacing the updater binaries from multiple ROMs to no avail. After about 24 hours of trial and error I managed to successfully flash Cyanogenmod cm-11-20140709-NIGHTLY-d801 and GAPPs aokp_gapps-kk-20140517 to my LG G2 D801. All that had to be done is to update TWRP from 2.6.3.2 to version 2.7.1. This version of TWRP had the necessary instructions to support a KK version custom ROM.
Good Job

I had same issue, installed newest TWRP. Fixed! Used Odin to install.
I had the same issue as the OP. I was trying to flash a rom from the external SD card. I moved it to the Internal SD and it worked.
J
Oh my ... I have now spent sure 6 or 7 hours trying to figure this out. If anybody could help me, please ?
This is not my first attempt at root, and I have been succesful with my HTC Wildfire S and installed various Custom ROMs on that, all fine.
Now I have a Desire S, that I managed to unlock (UNLOCKED), which is still S-ON, and, from all I can tell, rooted (superuser app does not complain about anything), I had installed 4EXT on the HTC Sense Stock rom that came with the phone, and that installed fine and no complaints.
HBOOT is 2.02.0002, which many people say requires downgrading, but then in other places it is said, this is not strictly necessary.
Now the following:
The ONLY recovery I have been able to install is recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img (using adb flash recovery ... under ubuntu 12.04).
That seems to go well, and the CM recovery comes up fine and I can do backups and so on. If I try to flash 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC5 or RC9 and go into recovery, the phone remains stuck in the white boot screen (Telekom branding, it seems). Oh well ... so no 4EXT and back to CM. No problem, just strange.
Now, with S-ON it SHOULD be possible to install custom ROMs, like flinnycm101_saga_22.zip. so i pushed this onto /sdcard, and also extracted the boot.img from this zip. In recovery I can install the .zip seemingly fine, no errors, and then, since this is S-ON, I
sudo adb flashboot flash boot flinnycm101_saga_22.img
(i renamed it from boot.img to that to keep track, should not be a problem, right?). and that goes over well, too. I do not know how many times I have already erased cache, dalvik, factory, battery. all to no avail. when i reboot the phone remains stuck in the white boot screen. at least i would have expected to get the CM spash screen (like that rotating wheel or something like that), but that may not be a problem.
I have tried a few other roms (devilkin 11.0 and carbon) with this method. same, same ...
I really don't know ... sheesh ... any ideas ? And if it boils down to downgrading: can I do that on ubuntu ? All the guides I have found so far required Windows.
Sorry ... clearly I am not a developer. If somebody could nudge me into the right direction ? I am quite happy to do my homework, but not really sure anymore where else to look. This SHOULD work, from all I found in the internet.
And ... I hope this is not the wrong forum. If so, really sorry ...
1000 thanks

From what I see you done it as needed.
First for recovery try find 4ext touch 1.0.0.6 RC1 and try to flash via fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).If you don't get in try TWRP 2.7.0.0 by devil-kin you got it in this forum.
About white screen you should check your display.There's sony and hitachi.If you have sony then you are good and something else is problem but hitachi is problem bc you need MDDI capable kernel or use only CM 7 or older roms.

Hello!
I find it strange that you're experiencing so many issues while for everybody else things are just fine. I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, it just makes me think that your problems are likely to be on your end...
You don't need to do anything with your hboot, it's fine
Are you sure that flashing www.4ext.net/ddl/saga/recovery.zip using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
doesn't work?
sudo adb flashboot flash boot flinnycm101_saga_22.img

This is wrong - should be:
Code:
flashboot flash boot flinnycm101_saga_22.img
But first try:
Code:
flashboot boot flinnycm101_saga_22.img
That will just boot the image from RAM without flashing it to /boot. I recommend trying this out first with this ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240592 - because that ROM is known good. If that works then we know the procedure you use is OK and you can then try to flash a ROM you actually like.
Note that AOSP roms may be problematic, because they only work with sony panels. We can check whether you have a sony or a hitachi panel once you have a ROM booting properly. (Unless there is a fastboot command that can tell you this that I'm not aware of.)

all right. thanks. i found that recovery and did

when i go into recovery then, again nothing ... phone is stuck in the white screen. sorry. with white screen i meant the splash screen, which is white on my phone, but has the telecom logo. so i think the screen is allright.
so i pulled the battery and back to cwm (flashed the cms recovery and voila).

But I then extracted the saga boot image from that zip kernel/saga/boot.img, renamed that to avoid confusions, and then
<code>
fastboot boot "SVHD v2.1.0 by mygamers (saga).img"
</code>
And my Telekom splash screen blinks up, then the HTC sense (quietly brilliant), and some 3 minutes later ... it worked.
Flashing
<code>
fastboot flash boot "SVHD v2.1.0 by mygamers (saga).img"
</code>
MY guess is it was the reformatting to ext4 ... is that something I should have done all along ? Or any other idea ?
Now you have a working phone, you can check which panel type you have, I suspect that has been your problem all along.

Must be, since I tried to install blindnnumbs cm now, and same problem, again ... Good ... so back to SVHD and check that thread. Thanks.

One more thing:
On the link you provided the instructions are given as follows, and i am not 100% clear on everything:
1) Wipe all data
2) Flash your custom ROM
3) Get your MDDI compatible kernel and flash it
--> IF (and only IF) you've this error when flashing kernel in recovery: assert failed:write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot"):
--> 3a) extract boot.img from custom rom ZIP and put it in the adb directory on your PC
--> 3b) reboot in fastboot mode
--> 3c) execute from PC: fastboot flash boot.img
--> 3d) reboot in recovery and retry to flash your new kernel
--> 3e) Now, flashing kernel is completed and you can continue to Step 4)
4) Get new boot.img: in recovery, attach USB cable and run from PC terminal --> adb pull /tmp/newboot.img (it will trasfer generated boot.img to your PC) <--
5) On your PC rename newboot.img file to boot.img
6) Reboot in fastboot mode
7) Install new boot.img (from PC terminal execute --> fastboot flash boot.img <--)
So I
- in twrp i installed cm-10.1-20130709-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip (blindnnumb cm-10.1, penultimate version. the very last version does not unzip, no matter how many times i download it)
- then flashed fastboot flash boot cm-10.1-20130709-UNOFFICIAL-saga.img
- then flashed fastboot flash boot saga_mddi_291212.img (from your link)
- i pulled newboot.img and then flashed newboot.img
and i am stuck again ... but maybe i did not totally understand the instruction from above ? i.e. 2). do i need to install the zip and the img ?
also in line 7) the command seems to be wrong. right ?
ingo
If you already have a boot.img for the mddi kernel, all you have to do is:
1) flash rom zip file in recovery
2) flash mddi kernel zip in recovery
3) flash mddi kernel boot.img in fastboot
The special instructions for s-on are only needed if you have the kernel zip without the boot.img

Oh my ... that did not go either. Now I flashed
cm-10-20121116-EXPERIMENTAL-saga-NK111.zip
saga_kernel_82n_4.0_4.1.zip (which does not seem to produce a newboot.img, and does not have a boot.img either)
that, at least, brings up the spinning clockworkmod wheel ... but then that's that, too ...
oh well ... i guess SENSE it is gonna be then ...

Didn't you read the warning at the top of the hitachi panel thread? It said:
WARNING!
ALL THE LATEST 4.1.x AND 4.2.x ROMS DO NOT SUPPORT HITACHI SCREEN PANELS, EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE CORRECT MDDI KERNEL!
THIS APPLIES TO ROMS THAT ARE BASED ON AOSP, AOKP, CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid, PAC-Man, etc., AND ROMS THAT ARE BASED ON MIUI
THE LAST CUSTOM ROM THAT DOES SUPPORT MDDI PANELS IS CyanogenMod 10.1 Build 13 by Flinny, SO THE DATE WHEN BUILD 13 WAS RELEASED IS YOUR GUIDE TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT ROM THAT WILL BOOT UP AFTER FLASHING THE MDDI KERNEL

Read it ... and I think I did not understand it right ... I guess I got too tired over it. I thought I had one that should match those criteria. Tomorrow is another day ...

redownload the rom or try a different one
Could you try the latest Slimkat for instance? I am on Slimkat 7.9 and had no issues installing it. Bootloader is the one you have as well.

I tried to install Albinoman's cm 10.1 20130806 (I had it before on this phone) using different sd card, rom and gapps flashed OK without error messages, but after reboot phone stops at htc start logo, green on white. Recovery and fastboot usb still work though.
I saved recovery log to sdcard, can it help?

post it here to see so we can see if there is anything wrong
You have to be a little patient though, the HTC Logo stays in for a little while before you get to see the actual startup screen. So give it a few minutes...

recovery.log attached in zip
OK, this may be a wild guess, but perhaps Albino's ROM is not compatible with 4EXT? The mounting oft system partitions dies not seem to work if I read this correctly.

from a quick look 4ext can't mount some blocks in your emmc
i think your emmc is corrupted
4ext was your only recovery or did you have other one previously?

Previous recovery was TWRP 2.6.3? or 2.7.0.0, downloaded from xda, I believe it was shantur's, not sure though. I replaced it because in Sultan's thread about cm11 it was said that only 4ext can install kitkat rom on pyramid. I used it (TWRP) without problems to install Albinoman's cm 10.
By corrupted do you mean bad sectors or errors in partition table? (I don't know much about android partitioning, pardon if I sound like blowing it out).
Is it possible to "repartition" this emmc and assign labels via fastboot usb? Is it like using fdisk or parted? (Sure hope so!)

some sectors i think because 4ext couldn't mount mmcblk0p21, mmcblk0p23, mmcblkp024 if i remember well
did you ever perform any wipe from TWRP?
if yes then probably TWRP caused that
latest versions of TWRP caused a lot of issues to many users
read this thread too

Yes, I did perform full wipe with TWRP at least twice, before installing Abinoman's cm10 and one of the old Vipers. But they both worked...

Followed rmann's instructions regarding rom install to sd. Pyramid boots, telephony, wifi and sound work. No problems so far.
It's mmmagic.

Hi, guys
I think I have the same problem (eMMC), but I am not sure...
One mounth ago I install new ROM without any problems, and my phone works perfectly all this time. But today I format all from 4EXT recovery, than I try to install new ROM but my installation process aborted with "Status 0" error.
After that I change recovery several times as well as firmware, I lock and unlock my phone twice (i was a bit panicked), so finally the error persists as well as was.
And when I read this thread my heart was beating faster.
So please can anyone see my .log file? And if it is a eMMC problem, can I do a modified ROM for myself? Oh I am sorry, right question is: how I can patch ROM?

no you don't have eMMC problem , you just need to update your 4EXT recovery to lattest one 1.0.0.6 RC3
the latest version of 4ext recovery touch
http://www.4shared.com/zip/WnSyLWMaba/4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1006_RC3_.html
extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thank you, now my phone work well. But why I can't install my previous ROM, which I install a month earlier with the same recovery?
I have recently unlocked my bootloader using sunshing, and installed twrp 2.8.0.1 as my custom recovery. I do not have any problems flashing stock based roms but when I try to flash cm11(or other) based roms I'm always met with:
Code:
This package is for "xt1052, ghost, xt1053, ghost_retail, xt1055, ghost_usc, xt1056, ghost_sprint, xt1058, ghost_att, ghost_rcica xt1060, ghost_verizon" devices; this is a " ",
Code:
E:Error executing updater binary in zip 'location-of-rom.zip' :
These are roms from the Moto x xda forum I'm trying to flash. Any help is appreciated as ive searched for hours for a fix or someone having the same problem on my device with no luck.
I tried to RSD back to 4.4.2 19.5.3 stock where i started, and took all the ota updates, flashed twrp 2.8.0.1 through fastboot. Tried flashing a cm11 rom from the moto x "crdroid" and same errors as usual. Can anyone offer any assistance? The only roms that are flashing correctly are based off stock. Is there something in the rom zip i need to modify for my phone?
Having Similar issues
I am running into the same issue, I loaded the eclipse rom on to my phone and it does not matter which version or location I download it from the rom boots minus the red filter and is terribly unstable. I am in the process of trying to Fastboot Venom, but so for nothing else is recognized.
You have to modify the met.inf file to flash these roms.

What would you recommend as a how to do so? I have been researching and I am finding the folder but not what part to modify.
Could you elaborate a little Archangel? What do I need to change specifically in the file? And where can I find it?
Sorry didnt see the response,,,you need to the Team Gummy thread in this area
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2676291&page=9
and follow the directions I asked another user. It involves unzipping and modding the meta.inf file and take out some file numbers so the install will not look for specific phones.
