[Q] HTC ROM Install Failure - HTC One Mini

Hi fellow HTC One Mini users,
I just treid to install a new ROM for the first time. I'm using TWRP Recovery and I have the GSM HTC One Mini.
I made a mistake on the step where u usually have to clear dalvik and cache, i deleted /system too. so... Now I'm pretty much stuck without a ROM to boot

You just need to reflash the Rom.

The problem is that my PC doesn't recognize my phone anymore. It plays a tu-du-du-du sound but it doesn't show up at the external harddrives menu. So I can't flash CM because it was deleted and now i can't put it back on

Gotcha. You need to boot to recovery and use adb to push a Rom to your device.
Or, get an otg device and install off of that.

The Device won't connect for some reason so I guess I have to get an OTG Device then

Getting adb to work in widows can be challenging. An alternative would be to run ubuntu from a disc. It's a lot easier to get adb working that way. I posted instruction on this. I'll see if iI can find that thread.

Make sure you are not plugged into your pc when you boot to recovery! - if that doesn't solve it ..
Does the phone boot to the existing Rom, do you have Rom manager installed? - if so update the recovery from Rom Manager. I found that after rooting the One S using the toolkit I could not get in to recovery, the update from Rom Manager sorted it!
All the best :good:

i tried before to get in to recovery mode without USB(plugged to my computer or to charger) and still same problem.
and i dont have any rom manager.
i got HTC one S only with Unlocked phone and recovery(that doesnt work), so i think i need root for rom manager.

Had same issue with the tool kit, the cwm didnt stick. The Touch work one did stick and I was able to get into recovery. However I downloaded the app ROM MANAGER and flashed the recovery from there. Since then I've had no issues booting into reocvery or bootloader. Just download rom manager and go about it that way!

Which recoveries have you tried, and what version of phone do you have (S3 or S4). These must match.
Make sure you bootloader unlocked OK, check in bootloader screen, should say Unlocked.
The problem youre describing sound like when you try to boot after successfully flashing a ROM but forgot to or the kernel failed to flash with it. Only happens when ROM and kernel are mismatched enough that it wont boot, fex flashing CM9 and still on HTC original kernel. Try flashing the kernel from the ROM zip file with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can also try booting a recovery without installing it,
Code:
fastboot boot nameofrecoveryfile.img

If you have working ADB and fastboot working (there is a sticky by user fibsib that explains this) you can make sure your phone isnt really just trying to boot the OS and failing rather than trying to enter recovery with the command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But anyways figure out which version you have before doing anything more, flash the wrong stuff and you could break stuff. There are good info here as to how to see if you have the Ville=Z520e=S4 processor model or the Ville C2/Z560e/S3 processor model.
Then download a recovery for your phone model and install it with this command from your computer
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryyoudownloaded.img
Should work.
have you actually flashed a recovery yet?
which one and how did you do it?
Make sure you have your phone updated to the latest software version before you root. Download system update OTA and click update.
Otherwise you will have issues.
I am rooted T-Mobile phone with original software 1.54 and still can not do recovery or update, it is probably me but it is difficult.
If you are in the US, make sure you use the US version in the development section after you upgrade your phone. Update then try to root it might be easier.

[Q] Please Help! Phone Bricked (Noob Problems)

Hey all, sorry if this seems like other questions being posted, but I can not get my phone to work even after attempting the other fixes posted on the forums. I rooted my phone and was running the stock rom that came preloaded with it. I attempted to install CM10 through Rom Manager to no success, so I then tried to manually flash it as well as Gapps. My phone initially got stuck at the CM10 bootloader, but i could still go into CWM Recovery 5.8.3.1. After trying to get the rom to work more, it seems as if all I can access is CWM Recovery and nothing else. My phone wont even boot into the bootloader anymore and all i have access to is CWM Recovery.
I am not the most tech savvy individual when it comes to this since it has been ages since i tinkered with roms, but I would really like to fix this. So heres the facts since my post is so long (sorry!):
-Phone WILL NOT go into bootloader
-Can ONLY ACCESS ClockworkMod Recovery (5.8.3.1)
-SD Card wont mount (I get error "E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)")
I really just want to go back to stock and root again from scratch to reduce any errors like this from occurring in the future and ANY help would be appreciated because I am totally lost and without a phone now. To make things even more difficult, I only have access to a Mac running Lion....although i do have Windows 8 through the use of a bootcamp program, so I CAN run windows programs. Thank you all for any information you may have!

Sorry. Best would be the All-In-One Toolkit, TWRP is a recovery to replace CWM because its that what's messing you up and also TWRP is better. Toolkit will also flash the boot.img too.

Okay, will do! Also, where would I find the Boot.img?
And on a side note; my phone says S-ON...I thought when rooted it was supposed to be S-OFF. Could that be causing problems as well?

Boot.img is in the rom zip. S-On is not the reason its CWM thats messing you up with getting into the bootloader but also not flashing boot.img is not helping too.

Np but this time use TWRP as your recovery and once you up and running with CM10 you can use Flash Image GUI to flash the boot.img if you ever update the rom.

I believe I bricked my phone.. NEED HELP !

So i guess I felt out of date and wanted to root my phone and use that cm10 rom or whatever everyone else is and i messed it up real bad. I keep getting this msg "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc.." on the loading screen. At this point i just want to restore it back to normal , idc if i lose data , i just want my phone to WORK! I've flashed a clean recovery.img but whenever i try to access recovery , it brings me back to that screen with the red words. In addition , my phone is rogers so i can't even find a correct RUU to install. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my phone to work again ? Any help is greatly welcomed !
P.S Wow i think it got worse , now it doesnt even loop again , it goes start into that menu bootloader, reboot , power down.. Omg i spent 5 hours looking into this. I NEED HELP!

..... It says that on every One X, it's HTC telling whoever turns the phone on that you used HTCDev.com
Make Sure you have TWRP (recovery) flashed/installed ... then in the bootloader go into recovery and flash cm10 ... and since you probably have the newer hboot 1.14 that means that you HAVE to flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot
Which is simple,
flash cm10
then reboot into the bootloader > fastboot
extract the boot.img from the cm10.zip
and fastboot flash boot boot.img
then your done reboot and enjoy.... (anything else read threw the forum, all your answers have been asked by somebody else already)
On rogers he won't have the 1.14 hboot, which means all he has to do is install the rom.
Try flashing the recovery again (TWRP ONLY!)
And then reinstall CM10

That might be your problem. CWM isn't supported for this phone and has been known to corrupt data.
Links for all the files you need are in a sticky in the Development forum. Here's the link for TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
Once you've got that, you can wipe your phone inside TWRP (don't do it in bootloader--you'll have to reformat your sd card), and reflash CM10.

So first i need to get adb working , then install TWRP to wipe my phone? To access that i flash TWRP and go into recovery right ?
EDIT: So .. i've downloaded that adb , and i got a bunch of files.. what do i do with this? I put them into my fastboot folder in my C drive.. Also i need to unlock my phone to do this right ? Cause i accidently relocked it .
EDIT: OKAY i rooted my phone , and got into TWRP , tried a factory rest under the wipe menu. http://i48.tinypic.com/13yklep.jpg It says fails.. what do i do ?

Fail to flash ROM, now bootloop

I have HTC One X. unlocked bootloader, rooted. Stock version 2.20. Tried to flash CM10 nightly build 01042013 through TWRP. First copied the roms into internal storage. Then used fastboot flash boot boot.img, then entered TWRP to wipe everything, factory reset, then try to flash rom, says error and failed. Tried several times, didn't work. I tried to reboot, the phone enters endless bootloop. Tried to use power+vol to enter fastboot again. Select recovery, phone bootloop, never enters recovery. Then I tried to flash CWM touch to phone. Still cannot enter recovery.
What's worse is that when the phone is on, it cannot charge. When usb is not connected, I can turn the phone off by keep holding power. But once the usb is connected the phone will turn on by itself, and the charging stops -- this way the remaining battery is kept being drained.
Please help! Thanks!!!
Try installing TWRP again via adb.
There is no CWM Touch for our version of the One X (only the non-touch version of CWM, and its not recommended). So you may have flashed a recovery for the wrong device. It doesn't sound like that was the initial cause of your woes, but it may have made the issue worse.
You can also try to relock the bootloader, RUU and start over again (re-unlock, install TWRP and flash).
You sure you downloaded CM10 for our (Snapdragon S4) version, and not the Tegra3 version of the One X? There is no reason that flashing a ROM would mess with recovery, unless you flashed the wrong version.

I downloaded the ROM through this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696
which brought me to the download site:
http://get.cm/?device=endeavoru
I guess my battery is well below 30% now. I saw people said if I relock it with such low battery, I may end up not able to do anything after. Will that happen? I'll try to flash TWRP first. Thanks
Also, I cannot do adb at this time since I cannot enter system and if I use adb command in cmd on my PC, it says cannot find device.

Well if it says AT&T on the top of the phone it's most definitely a dual-core version, instead of the quad-core. But you downloaded a CM-endeavoru ROM which is the international. We here have the device codenamed "evita". It sounds to me that you've bricked your phone, unfortunately. However if it's still booting to the white HTC Screen there might be some hope.
I don't have the link handy, but if you wanna find the unbricking thread, it may help if you have knowledge of Linux

I can still enter fastboot and can flash things into it using cmd from PC usb connection. It's just nothing worked: not able to boot pass htc white screen, keeps rebooting, turns on when usb connected, not able to charge, cannot enter recovery. Tried to re-flash TWRP, didn't work, still cannot enter recovery.
If you can get to fastboot, you're not bricked. Be sure you're pushing the right (Evita) version of TWRP; so far you've loaded your phone up with endeavour stuff.
Does adb devices show your phone? What are you seeing in Device Manager when it's plugged in? Are you sure you have all the HTC drivers installed? You might try switching USB ports and using a different cable.

Now I can enter TWRP, which I used to root this phone before without problems. Now I just need to push the right rom. However, if I choose Mount USB storage, my PC is asking me to format the disk. Should I do that or is there other ways I can push ROM into my phone? Thanks!

Now in TWRP, I'm able to use adb push update.zip / to push the CM10 evita ROM into the phone. But when I tried to install, it still reports error:
Updating partition details ...
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E: Unable to mount storage.
E: Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/update.zip'
Error flashing zip '/update.zip'
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E: Unable to mount storage.
This happens with or without USB cable connected to PC. Thanks!
Format the sdcard to fat32

As stated, go ahead and format. It's quite common when having these problems to corrupt your sdcard, esp. when using CWM on this phone.

Thanks for the tips! Now I formatted it into fat32, reboot into recovery, and I'm able to successfully install the CM10 evita ROM. However, after the reboot, the phone keeps the bootloop. The battery is 50% +. Is there something else I did wrong? Thanks!

Did you remember to flash the boot.img separately?

Yes, I did that. But CM10 didn't work whatever I tried. Then I flashed boot.img of CleanROM and installed CleanROM. Finally it works! Thanks a lot for all the help!

HTC One X = International

What??? Incorrect, and how can an AT&T user be saying this? The dual core S4 version is called the One X in US (AT&T) and Canada (Rogers), and called the One XL elsewhere.
Outside Canada and US, its true that One X refers to the quad core Tegra3 version. But the term "international" is a bit obsolete at this point, now that the S4 version has been released in some 6 or 7 countries.
The OP said he was on stock 2.20 firmware, which is AT&T. So I knew he had the AT&T version from the start.
To the OP, stick with ROMs and mods from this forum section to avoid the same mistake in the future: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538

I know in the past, at least one nightly build of CM10 had a faulty kernel that caused the phone to be stuck on the boot splash. Flashing an older kernel made the ROM boot right up. Maybe that is the case with the one you tried. Or maybe just a bad download.

I have HTC One X. unlocked bootloader, rooted. Stock version 2.20. Tried to flash CM10 nightly build 01042013 through TWRP. First copied the roms into internal storage. Then used fastboot flash boot boot.img, then entered TWRP to wipe everything, factory reset, then try to flash rom, says error and failed. Tried several times, didn't work. I tried to reboot, the phone enters endless bootloop. Tried to use power+vol to enter fastboot again. Select recovery, phone bootloop, never enters recovery. Then I tried to flash CWM touch to phone. Still cannot enter recovery.
What's worse is that when the phone is on, it cannot charge. When usb is not connected, I can turn the phone off by keep holding power. But once the usb is connected the phone will turn on by itself, and the charging stops -- this way the remaining battery is kept being drained.
Please help! Thanks!!!

I had the same issue today, was trying to flash jellybam. I fastboot flash boot boot.img then entered TWRP and wiped then flashed the ROM and when I tried booting up I was in a boot loop. What I did is entered boot loader mode and factory reset ( which wiped my internal storage) and then I was able to enter recovery.

Glad to hear you got it working. Too many damn bricks around these parts for my taste.

[Help!] Urgent, Please help!

So, to cut the story short, My phone right now is unusable due to some ROM error trying to install some kernel, and the biggest mistake is, I removed my data via TWRP, I was doing this by midnight and did not realize that wiping data from TWRP means all your back ups is gone too and there is no data, no anything on the internal memory card, How can I restore my Moto G ? Please help I'm so panic I can't sleep
This phone I bought is not even close to 1 month, is this the end for me ?
I see there is a Mount OTG option from TWRP, Can I buy some OTG devices then put all the rom then plug in to my moto g?
No need,just install minimal adb and adb drivers for moto g,and go to mounts and storage,and mount sdcard,then just put a rom zip to your sdcard from pc.

Can you give me detailed instruction for this? I don't get the "go to mounts and storage" and the part afterwards
In twrp you have mounts and storage,just download a rom from internet,go to twrp,connect the device to pc,go to mounts and storage,or ADB or something(i dont know how its called in twrp,other users help) and put a rom that you downloaded in your phone,and then install it in twrp just like any other rom.

reflash
You can also reflash the stock rom again. This will probably fix it too
You will have to fastboot flash stock....

You can flash a stock firmware, and then start the process again.

Wait.. Do you have the 3G or 4G version?
There's tutorials on the Q&A thread. Just download the firmware with your region and follow the guide

Sorry to say this, but you shouldn't have messed up with phone, unlocking bootlader, rooting, installing twrp if you have no idea how to restore your phone in case you mess up the things like this.
Seriously, don't do this again. Read about 180 to 360 days in the device section prior, gain some knowledge about it and then proceed. This will also save you lots of nerves, trust me.
clearing data via twrp doesn't wipe the internal storage...u must hav done something else.
anyways, in twrp go to advanced , select adb sideload.
start a command prompt and do adb sideload filename.zip
google for the elaborate steps.
