Something went wrong which I am not gonna explain too much.
Now My phone doesn't have an OS.
I have Unlocked Bootloader,
I have CWM installed. However, the USB storage Mount isn't working. "No UMS error"
I can still use CWM, but I don't have any rom in the SDCARD.
I can boot into boot loader, I can see fastboot USB.
I want to install a rom, any rom for now. but I don't have access to the SDcard. I couldn't mount it.
Is there a way to write a file or put a rom on the SDCard?
of course the SDCARD is build-in so yea....
Please help~!!!
i could be wrong, but if you can get to fastboot, cant you flash via RUU? i mean its obviously not a custom rom, but a hell of a lot better than a brick.
most RUU is exe file...
I can flash a stock rom. but I need a .zip rom.
I tried using the one of the custom rom. but it says something about a .txt file missing.
Right, RUUs are exe files intended to be flashed via windows. I thought that you could plug your phone in when in fastboot mode, or maybe its after you select bootloader, and then run the RUU and it would flash the phone. Is that not the case? Those are just my thoughts so i could be wrong. This is my first real HTC experience so i may be way off base.

A very similar problem
Hi all,
I've gotten myself into a very similar problem, but the solution posted here hasn't fixed my issue.
I have an HTC One X 2.20 on AT&T. I used the X-Factor exploit to root my phone successfully. I have TWRP 2.3.1 recovery. I have a Mac.
While in TWRP recovery, I pressed "Factory Reset", "Wiped System", and wiped "External Storage." My phone now doesn't have an OS.
I tried the listed solution "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/Download/rom.zip" and the newly flashed ROM would be on my SDcard, but as soon as I rebooted, it would disappear. ALSO, when I tried to "Install" the ROM before rebooting, I get "Failed- unable to mount /sdcard".
Any advice on how to proceed?
Thanks so much!

Well, wiping /system = wiping the OS, so that is logical.
Doing factory reset in recovery means you need to reformat your SD card before doing anything else.

Can you get into TWRP? If so, just mount the USB via TWRP and put the ROM on your SD card and install it.

I'm having the same problem with no OS being installed and I am unable to get to either the bootloader or recovery. When rebooting I can't get past the HTC quietly brilliant splash screen.

I think you need to uncheck "Unmount sdcard" under "Mount" in TWRP recovery.

Hi, Brand new Noob here, but hoping someone can help…I’ve had a good scour around and can’t find the answer. We have a Htc one x from orange uk (cid orang001) stuck at “quietly brilliant” screen following an attempt to load ViperX 2.6.0. After downloading, the MAC unzipped the ROM so this was just rezipped back up and transferred over to the SD card, without any special conditions. ( I’ve since read somewhere that this might cause issues)
USB debugger was enabled but its not possible to enable it now.
Fastboot works ok, and we’ve flashed the boot ok, but ADP isn’t working, so it isn’t possible to push the correct ROM.ZIP to the SDcard. CWM is installed.
We’ve seen the post for an updated CWM with ADP enabled on this here but that states its only for at&t models. If we could get ADP working we’d be able to push the correct ROM over, so this would seem the easiest way if possible.
I wanted to avoid doing a RUU in case the phone would end up bricked, but I can’t get the correct version anyway.
Command ./fastboot getvar version-main returns
version-main: 3.16.61.6 and the noob guide at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 says we can’t use a lower version….the nearest RUU I can find is 1.29.061.11 (released on 31/01/2013).
Any ideas on how best to recover this phone? The issue might not be anything to do with the zipping of the ROM, but then I have no idea why its not working…I’m hoping it’s a simple procedure, but I fear it may not be! Please Help!

oops, sorry :/
Today I flashed the last CleanRom 5.1 then I flashed kernel BeastMode evita 4.4 and the phone has bricked in the screen of HTC. So I did a big mistake, in the bootlloader i am pretty sure I have wiped the phone, now I have no ROM in the phone, and the TWRP will not let me select mount sd card. I have thinking in push the ROM in ADB but sincerely I have no idea how to do that. Actually I´m in the bootloader screen and connected the phone, appearing "Fastboot USB". Could someone kindly tell me what are the orders in the Command Prompt to connect the phone to my pc and push the rom?
The phone was with CM10 ROM, rooted and TWRP provided by a friend who is not available to help me.
BTW sorry for my regular english, I´m from Argentina.

My First advice, relock bootloader and run ruu...If your on the newer hboot don't you have to flash boot.img as well before flashing the rom? Did you wipe cashe and dalvik when you flashed? Did you see if rom first worked before flashing kernel?

I have flashed boot.img in the aroma installer of cleanrom. Then I wipe cache and dalvik after flash rom. But I made the mistake of not checking if it worked the ROM before installing the new kernel.. I installed after the rom.
Could you explain me how to relock bootloader and run ruu?

I'm sure someone will provide a ruu download based on your phone. Fastboot oem lock command in fastboot to lock bootloader. I would wait though to see if there is still a way to flash Rom and mount your phones sd card.by the way did you create a recovery in twrp of stock rooted version?
You dont need to RUU. I don't know why everyone runs to that.
Open TWRP, mount usb storage.
If you're on windows, it should prompt you to format your sd card. Format it to fat32.
Copy whatever rom you want onto the card.
Install in TWRP.

Hi, I still cannot solving my problem :/ I locked the phone with the command "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot. Then I downloaded a RUU called htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe and I´ve executed the file in fastboot but appears during the installation process an error message that the phone is not connected with the USB cable, when obviously connected.
I have no idea what to do, I tried to check the connections, right now I'm trying to download another RUU apparently compatible, my CID is 11111111 and my HBOOT is 1.09.0000. Can you think of anything else I can do?

Newer RUU version should still work, but avoiding the 1.14 hboot is a good idea. So I too would recommend getting the 1.85 RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670238
OP should make sure he has the latest HTC drivers installed on the PC, or try re-installing them. Also try a different USB port. I've seen more than a few times on here, where it was simple as the drivers or the USB port.

This happened to me and I was able to do
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (using original recovery)
Then reboot into bootloader then fastboot
fastboot boot TWRP.img
Then, once you're in TWRP, you can just flash a rom
Hope it helps! I'm still kinda nooby w/ htc as I was with motorola forever! I got my phone 1 month ago so... yeah
Try it! I was hopeless but I just kept trying!
Good luck!

CWM cant mount SD you need TWRP for that and a RUU put you back to stock but the bootloader needs relocking. So did you even try booting the rom because the red writing is fine.
you didn't mention it, but you should wipe system and caches as well as data
Not hard brick. you can chose the correct Ruu file and flash it to your phone.... solved your case.

CWM can not mount our sdcard onto your computer over USB.
But it absolutely can mount the sdcard partition onto the root filesystem.
Unless you have the 'unmountable sdcard' problem, for which there is a sticky in Q&A.
My feeling is that the OP didnt mount the sdcard partition. In that case it is normal to see the mount point as an empty folder.
Once it's mounted, you can adb push rom zips to it.

Download the right RUU for your carrier and location by looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543588 and you can get free download at http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html
Then plug in your phone and follow the instructions when you run the RUU .exe file.
AKToronto
but everytime i try to run it, it says it fails because the phone it is not connected to the computer but it is...
did you ever try to boot into the rom after you flashed it and boot image as in just tapping on reboot system
can you plug phone into pc and get indicator at top of screen that says you are connected. then pull down notification bar and select to mount drive
if so, does it show you your sdcard in the windows screen
you do have an S4 device and assume you are hboot .13 or higher
if you can get into os and see sdcard, you can get twrp and flash image gui and flash rom and boot image with it
i am sure you tried these things, just hard to know when reading posts
also, i don't know if you are running your commands correctly based on how i undestand your posts. you can't run adb commands from fastboot, which is what you were in to fastboot boot image. you would want to type fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you are very familiar with adb/fastboot--sorry. if not need to get up to speed on them
if i misread or misunderstood any of this, sorry for butting in--

Hi,
I tried to install a ROM but it got stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo. I tried to do factory reset but it gets stuck again. I don't have clockwork recovery, and I rooted my phone using adb and ace recovery, which is not on my phone. I only temporarily used it to flash my rom, stupid I know. :-/ When I connect my phone to the PC it is not being recognized. I tried putting the PD98IMG.zip file on my sd card but it just says that it the image is incorrect. Is there anything I can do? Is this fixable?

I just went through some similar stuff. What type of computer are you using? PC/Mac? Are you using the original cable? What troubleshooting steps for connectivity have you done? Different cable? USB port?
Can you access the bootloader screen when you pull the battery and reboot while holding the volume button down and holding the power button? By accident, I found that the phone and PC will communicate with each other when "Fastboot" is selected on the bootloader screen (you should hear a connection chime and it should change to "Fastboot USB") except I could only get fastboot commands to work. The good news is that should be enough to flash a boot or whatever else you need to get back in business.

By accident, I found that the phone and PC will communicate with each other when "Fastboot" is selected on the bootloader screen (you should hear a connection chime and it should change to "Fastboot USB") except I could only get fastboot commands to work. The good news is that should be enough to flash a boot or whatever else you need to get back in business.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.I am using windows 7. I downloaded the drivers for HTC, and I am using a data cable and the USB port in the back of my computer, nearest the mother board. I do see "Fastboot USB" on the phone but when i type in the command prompt "adb devices" I get nothing.

That's great you're getting the fastboot usb message! As long as you're not using a hub or some other usb extender, any functioning usb port on the pc will do. Again, I learned this by accident (ie the hard way) and found that in this mode, only fastboot commands will work, not adb. (on a side note, and others should correct me here, adb and fastboot work together when the phone is rebooted normally or in recovery but not in the bootloader screen)
Great test for connection: fastboot devices (if you get anything else except a serial # with fastboot after it, then close the cmd window, unplug, and pull battery/reboot to bootloader), fastboot reboot-bootloader. Once it reboots back into the bootloader screen, make sure you press the power button while fastboot is selected and you should again hear the chime and see fastboot usb come up. This is your phone saying it's ready to accept your fastboot commands.
Do let us know how it works.

Hi I actually saw your post earlier thank you. I will work on this. I found it in a tutorial when I rooted my phone with HTC dev, ace_recovery_ext_4.img. I'll post where i found it later.

Hi the program is actually called 4EXT Recovery Touch. I finally was able to open it through fastboot....Now all thats left is to find the right zip file to put my phone back to stock.

As far as I know, fastboot only works when your phone is in fastboot mode. ADB works in recovery or system.

Flash a rooted stock ROM from recovery. Whether you have root is in your system partition. Whether your bootloader is unlocked is in your bootloader. Whether you have a custom recovery is in your recovery partition. Three separate things.
As for your post in your other thread, read my signature.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what I am doing. Can you show me the steps? When I try installing a stock rom zip file in my recovery from my sd card it aborts.

I'm guessing that you're trying to flash a PD98IMG.zip or a RUU. You need an actual stock rooted ROM, probably from here on the forum. Or just flash Android Revolution HD, an optimized rooted stock ROM, also from here on the forum in the development section. For more specific steps read the Ace Think Tank linked in my signature.

Dear friends,
I have this problem: I got a brand new TCL S720 and the Google Play did not work, being a known rom issue. So, before doing anything, I've managed to make a backup of it's original rom with MTK Droid tools whichI supose it did it well. Then I've tried to install a CWM recovery to try a custom rom for it. The CWM recovery seemed to install succesfully but I didn't manage to install the new rom. If I remember well, it stucked on boot logo. Then tried to revert at it's original stock recovery, managed to have the phone back as it was in initial state, but doing more tries, It remained stucked on boot logo. The problem is that my computer doesn't recognise it anymore, when I connect it to USB it tries to install MTP usb driver but even before the driver was installed well, now it refuse to install, like the driver is not good or the proper driver doesn't exist. So the only thing I can do is to boot on stock recovery but even I tried to copy the original rom update.zip on external SD and to flash the phone using install update from sd card in recovery mode, It doesn't find the external sd card. So I'm stuck here, the computer doesn't detect the phone to try flashing it with SP flash tool or MTK Droid tool, and I also can't flash it from sd card. Have you any idea how to make it work again?
Thanks in advance.
Okay, so when trying to flash CM ROM, I stupidly ended up wiping EVERYTHING in the "wipe" option. Trying to recover it, I tried sideloading the file through ADB, but TWRP would disconnect off the PC and say failed (TWRP version 3.0.2-0). Pushing a ROM zip won't work, as the phone only connects to the PC as ADB Sideload mode ('error: closed' is what it would say), and nothing else would work except sideload. I no longer have a working OTG cable, as my last one broke on me a week ago. The PC will not connect to phone on the 'Mount USB' option from TWRP. Plz help! I'm running out of ideas. I did make a backup (using Online Nandroid Backup, no it wasn't a zip) on the SD card, but TWRP will not read the SD card on my device. Note that the only thing I have is TWRP; no bootloader, no Fastboot, no nothing. Just TWRP.

You can connect to ADB but the adb push command isn't working when you try to move the ROM.zip to the device?
Get a new OTG cable.
The nandroid backup you made should have been done in TWRP and stored on extsdcard instead of the online backup, online backup is crap because it only works in certain conditions, it's useless when the device can't connect to a network.

Yes. ADB commands other than sideload will say 'error:closed', and ADB Sideload will just end up making the phone disconnect. At this point, I may HAVE to end up getting a new OTG Cable.
Yes, I was trying to do the backup on TWRP, but as it couldn't read the SD Card, I used Online Nandroid Backup. Then I realized that everything I was doing was completely stupid while I wiped EVERYTHING....

Try rooting the device and then use the Stick Mount app, if your device has the hardware to support OTG, that should enable it, but if your device does not have the hardware to support OTG then it doesn't matter what you do softwarewise or what you modify, it has to have the hardware or it can't do it at all.
Things like this are why I'd never buy or own a ZTE device of any kind. Relatively soeakibg, they are all junk.

Only thing is, I dont HAVE any system to boot in order to check that. I guess I'm out of luck, no wonder why others said this phone was crap.

If you can use adb shell or fastboot, you can try getting a copy of system.img from someone with your exact device and dd or fastboot flash the img.

Any ADB commands other than Sideload will just respond as error:closed, as the computer only reads the system when in ADB Sideload mode. However, when trying to sideload a ROM, the phone will disconnect and say failed, while the computer stays on xfer: 0.00. Maybe I could get some instructions to fix that? Maybe a bad TWRP version? If so, I'm ****ed...
After reading other pols forums, it seems that I didn't have to delete the internal storage........

Sideloading a ROM won't work.
Try
adb reboot bootloader
If you can boot to bootloader or fastboot you can try finding the firmware for another device that has all of the exact same hardware components that your device has then try fastboot flashing it or extract the separate .imgs from the firmware and use the fastboot commands to flash the boot.img and system.img.

can't get into fastboot, ADB command says error: closed, while doing the command in terminal in the TWRP menu keeps me on ZTE screen (only reboot recovery works, not as ADB command but in terminal).

Did you ever get the TWRP for this? I have it in my dropbox pm me.
The issue were running into is that the TWRP on this model can't see the ext sd. The backup is 1.5 or 2gb which is usually too large to fit on the internal SD
Slacker is working hard at modding the Fstab file to make TWRP see that storage. Any ideas please let him or I know([email protected] or here )
I'm also working on an EquiMods custom ROM for this. Bare bones battery saver, switchable to performance when needed.
Anyone know if and how these can be overclocked?
I have a deodex rom done for this phone and also should have the working twrp recovery by morning. The cm11.0 ive been working on is almost done. I hope Everytime i flash it to phone i get white screen. Also im going to install xposed on it in the morning. I think i found the fix for that to work
Any news on this? I can't find anything that works with this phone. I have adb sideload working, but that's pretty useless from what I understand.

They obviously got something to work since there are members in this thread that have TWRP installed on their devices, that means they can at least root the device but I doubt there are any ROMs for this device.
