So I unlocked this without much trouble, and then when I was attemoting to use adb to flash images to recovery partition, one would just not work, and I stupidly tried to force it, and now it boots and just sits there.
I've seen a different website saying the Q can run Jellybean, and it also has info on getting the stock rom back .. but NO files. I know how to use the damn recovery tools once theyre booted up - those articles were completely useless. I don;t know what else to do. I tried to get the files that argghhhh jad posted to dropbox but they are not available anymore.
Stuck and been trying to fix this for the last 12 hours
EDIT:
Found stock recovery stuff, but I dont think it's going to help any...
Nevermind I suppose
I see that I can try the stock rar file posted for someone else in here to put into recovery, hope it works, I just dont know if the nernel is ok, but I would think so. It stops at the "unlocked"notificaton screen. anyay, yeah. If I get jellybean on instead ill share the info,
I believe you need to fastboot your recovery, not adb. Then you may be able to flash something back on there.

Thanks for the repl! S I actually have been using fastboot because adb for some reason just will not see the device (I checked the version and its correct supposedly). So what I did was take the WWRP rar, pull the contants out and make them into a .zip.and instaled with fastboot flash. The output looked ok:
sending 'userdata' (319120 KB)... OKAY [ 29.814s]
writing 'userdata'... OKAY [ 92.421s]
finished. total time: 122.235s
but what about all the other partitions? I jad done system earlier frok out of the stock zipfile. i think i may just try the entire Stock file insead, or maybe I am missing the fact that I beed to install the kernek into /boot, Any thoughts Thanks much!
EDIT: first im going to fastboot the recovery wit tue TWRP zip file, and try to install it from
I am a little confused, did you manage to get the recovery working? Looks like you were trying to flash the recovery img to your user data partition... Am I misreading your post.

Whoaa just saw that. should have unzipped the recovery image and flashed it to the recovery partition with
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryfile.img
Then you can boot into recovery and flash one of the system dumps that these devs have generously posted for when we mess up like this...

is this the basic method at present for a stock restore? i was looking at the thread with the files for RSD lite, but i was confused as to whether that was working. thx!
ok so I messed up what to flash from recovery. I had grabbed copies of the system, data, boot, etc for all the partitions thinking i needed to do them all from outside using fastboot,

Ok, the easiest way to get your phone up and running again is to push the newest TWRP from here, put it in your tools folder and push w fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-asanti_c.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Make a backup to your external sd card so that TWRP creates the directory needed to restore the stock system & boot. You should delete this first backup later since it will be broken.
Then download a system & boot image from here, unzip to the /TWRP/BACKUPS/"serial#"/ folder on your external sd. Do full wipes for system, dalvik, & factory reset; then restore Stock from within TWRP. Should be good to go.

Just saw that tetrabyt already hit on this, consider this post a more detailed revision.
i must be retardedly doing this the wrong way, i quickly get twrp into recovery and can get in there, and I have the stock photon .zip in 1 big zip and in separate pieces, but how do you get them to the external card.. windows 7 fails to recognize the phone with some message MTP device unknown so I can't transfer it that way ... I dont know. Im about to chuck this thing out the window and be done with it. The whole purpose was to be able to install apps to the sdcard, originally. Only fastboot works from a command prompt, adb doesnt do a damn thing, trying multiple versions of it. I give up

Do you have an sd adapter or another device you can plug the sd into to transfer from your pc? Does adb fail when booted into TWRP also? Tried uninstalling/re-installing drivers?
Might be able to make a data img you could flash through fastboot, so long as the folder structure was correct... then use recovery from internal storage. Not certain on this: /data/media/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/"serial#"/
Maybe someone else can jump in here, this would be my last resort. Use any way possible to get it on external sd first.

Thanks a ton for the help Saint, and others. I finally got it back in working order .. yay! Now to install that powermenu update someone made, and see about making android 4 opeate like the older versions, where you could install apps onto the external SD card. Am I correct in assuming they just F'ed it up by changing the /mnt names, while the software was not updated to accomodate those changes? Why the hell is internal memory now "sdcard" ... so odd. I have a friend whose internal storage is named "USB storage" on his phone. It's USB accessible .. but its a freakin flash card. So odd, and stupid. I really felt like 4.0 was a downgrade, personally. What improved? I see nothing, only things taken away (Im sure the underlying scheduler and thread management/memory mgmt is better, but you know what I mean .. anything visible?)

Good to hear, glad you got her working again. As for how she runs, definitely snappier than older versions of android. Maybe just hardware, but I still see improvements w the wifes epic running ics, guessing that we will see better results once CM is dropped for this phone.

Tried this, still stuck on Bootloader Unlocked Screen. TWRP restores don't seem to work right. I tried restoring an old backup I had of the boot/recovery/system with no luck. Everytime I wiped system/dalvik/cache/factory reset before restore. No errors show up.
So, I can go into fastboot, and I can flash files.
I tried RSD Lite 5.7 with this Zip
It flashes everything until RSD wants me to reboot. Then it reboots and gets stuck on the bootloader unlocked screen.
Any ideas?
[Edit] I flash CWM and found out that I can't mound /sdcard which doesn't seem right...

After RSD Lite, it might not have booted up because the system image was removed from the file to make it work. Probably if you flash TWRP after doing the RSD file, and restore Rangerbry's system backup, you might be good..
No Luck.
Just tried this.
Got the following Errors during only system restore:
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:unable to mount '/data'
Still stuck on Unlocked bootloader screen.
My emmc might be corrupted I think
I do have sprint insurance. Think they can reflash stock?

Was that in CWM or TWRP recovery? Just trying to make sure the process was correct, haha. I have only started using TWRP on this device, but i think the 2 recoveries use different backup formats?

Can you boot to bootloader or just to fastboot? There are two control files in that RSD zip, one doesn't flash bootloader, try removing that one and forcing the reflashed bootloader. Then try restoring again. About all I can think of if it successfully flashes the other components... Maybe just restore system and not boot or data?

I tried to install drumlock app and my phone restarted and went into the recovery. I can't mount the sd card either to flash the rom again. I dont have anything backed up. I am really lost and need someone's guidance.
I had the same issue one time what I did is I mounted the phone as a USB drive (don't know if it works with CWM, if not just flash TWRP recovery) and formated the SD card (when I mounted it Windows asked to format the SD card; Format in FAT32!). As you can imagine all data from the SD will be lost but your SD card is mounted again and you should be able to boot again. If booting still doesn't work try putting a ROM on the SD via mount as USB drive function and try to flash it. It should work.
worked but another problem happened :[

Thanks for that advice. Everything worked. I formatted the cd card and it is now seen in TWRP where I installed the viper one s rom. BUT! Now my phone just keeps on restarting - it shows the htc logo with a red banner under it and just restarts and does it all over again. I can get into boorloader mode If i get lucky pressing it before it restarts, yet the bootloader wont let me get into recovery. I am going to try other methods I guess but I am wondering if there is a way just to use RUU and restore it to stock?

You must've done something to your recovery when you formatted your sdcard. Try flashing TWRP again. You can easily bring your device back to stock by running the RUU. Info can be found around the forum.
Relock bootloader and run a official HTC RUU (warning: itll update hboot).

I tried that method and flashed utb rom and when i restarted it its stuck on the loading screen...so i tried the different viper one s rom and nothing either. After i locked it i tried the RUU but it gives me the error 150 ...Im on the right track I know...its probably something minor that I keep on overlooking.

Hi all,
So, last night I successfully rooted and unlocked my One X on AT&T. Today, I tried putting a ROM on it. I flashed the boot.img first, then tried to install the ROM (Jelly Bean Sense). It failed for some reason, so I wiped and rebooted my phone.
Instead of going back to the stock ROM, the phone now will not turn on, is not recognized on both laptops I tried, and does not recognize even being charged. The only thing that happens is when I press down the power button, all of the soft keys illuminate and flash until I stop holding it. I've managed to get into the bootloader screen once, but the phone reset itself before I could do anything.
The only screen I can get to with the Vol Down+Power combo is the HTC Screen, but it's the one that shows before my custom recovery, with some warning from HTC in red letters at the bottom.
At this point, I just want a phone that works. This is a lot more complex [for me] than rooting and flashing a ROM to the Inspire I had for some reason. I fly out for vacation in two days for a few weeks, so I'd like to be able to avoid having to send this thing back to HTC or AT&T if possible.
ANY help is greatly appreciated.
If it's easier, feel free to Skype chat me.
Thanks!
Im confused.. it won't come on, but you can get to recovery? If you can manually boot into twrp you'll be fine.. may I ask which Rom you flashed? Did you flash the boot.img first? Or after you flashed Rom? Alot of guys will say flash boot.img first.. I don't have that funky hboot but I have to do my cousins alot and his will only boot correctly if I flash Rom first, then boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img.
Try that and let me know how it goes
Also... Let go of all the buttons when you see the white screen lol. That means you found bootloader

I can get it to boot into the Bootloader screen and the TWRP now just fine, but that's as far as it will go. The internal SD will not mount with TWRP either now.
Here's the ROM I tried to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055490
I put it on my SD card, then extracted the boot.img to the folder I have my dab/fastboot files in, then flashed the boot.img, then tried to flash the ROM.
If I can get it working again, I'll try to do it in reverse order next time and see if that works. Still trying to find a way to get a ROM on here with my Mac, and to make my SD card work again. Everything on it is backed up so it's ok if I need to wipe it.
If you can get to bootloader, you're not bricked. It's just a matter of flashing the right stuff in the right order.
It could be that your sdcard is corrupted. Factory reset from bootloader will do it, but fixing it just a matter of formatting it again. Can you mount it on your computer? What happens when you plug into your PC?
Your sdcard is corrupt. No big deal but you'll lose everything. Plug it in into computer and locate the storage and try to find a way to format it. Sorry, I have no clue with a mac I swore off apple products :thumbup:
Anyway, you seem to know the ropes for the most part. If you can format, drag Rom onto SD. Wipe everything in twrp. Cache, dalvick, factory reset, system. Flash Rom.. immediately boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img. choose reboot from bootloader. Good luck!
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
Yep, I also suggest doing a factory reset from the bootloader ( which will erase your internal storage) but at least you'll be able to mount your SD card, put a ROM on it and flash it. I would highly recommended you to flash viper 3.0.0, you don't need to flash the boot.img and its pretty much stock JB with some tweaks.

I am having this same problem (minus the custom screen).
My phone will boot into TWRP and all, but it won't mount (PC says the disk needs to be formatted before it can be used). When I go to reboot or anything from TWRP, it tells me there is no OS installed and am I sure.
Can anyone help?
That's good news!
I tried doing a factory reset from bootloader, but nothing happened. Maybe because the SD card won't mount?
I only have a Mac, with no PC in sight. It doesn't show up at all on here. Fastboot USB, or when I mount it as USB in TWRP. It does however show up as a device in recovery in terminal. But nothing on the desktop. Apple+Android do not mix well!
I'm ok with losing my data, what I'm not OK with is having to use this pink Razr while my nice phone is broken :'(
Thanks for all the help so far!
I do a factory reset from bootloader, it takes me into TWRP. Now is the only time it will even remotely show up on my laptop, and even then it's only via terminal when I do adb devices. Since it can't mount for some reason, is there a way to reformat via Terminal, and maybe even push the ROM to my phone from there? That's something I'm not familiar with.

Hey dude, I followed their advice (dug out my XP machine) and now my SD card is re-formatted.
Get into the bootloader screen, hit factory reset. (When I did this on mine, it took me right to TWRP)
From there, I mounted as USB and it showed up as needing to be reformatted on my XP machine. Took a few minutes to do on this dinosaur, but it worked, cause everything is gone!
Right now I'm in the process of zipping up the Viper XL ROM (thanks for the recommendation barondebxl, it looks awesome!), which I'll put onto my SD card and wipe/flash from there. (on my Mac now).
Hopefully it works!
I'm unable to flash ROMs for some reason. It doesn't give an error, just says that it failed. Any ideas?

No no no. This is what is corrupting your sdcard. Only do a factory reset in TWRP or once booted up. Start over and format again. Then copy over your rom.
When you and a few others mentioned doing it, what were you referring to?
I've tried three different ROMs now, and each fails without saying why in TWRP.
Problem solved! Got the stock RUU back on there and it works perfectly. Just re-rooted and unlocked again. Round two..
first some back story:
it's been a long time since i did a lot of rooting so i lost a lot of knowledge.
I got the phone close to release in the EU.
There was only BETA stage twrp at the time.
So i flashed this unstable twrp and rooted with magisk.
And i run stock Oxy Rom.
But the main problem is, whenever i boot into recovery, twrp ask me for a password. (i have none) so i press continue.
And it then ask for unmodified system partition. (not sure what to select here)
But when i swipe to allow modification, i can't find the root of the phone? i cannot find the download folder where i flash updates or other modified apk's.
It's all just numbers and random letter. i have no idea on how to proceed or how to update twrp safely without falling into boot loop and other problems.
Some help would be appriciated. Thank you.

U have corrupted u r data partation u have to factory reset along with wiping internal storage and then transfer u r rom File through MTP in sd card of phone and then flash rom.
Or u can flash fastboot flashable rom via fastboot mode.
Then install your official twrp via fastboot mide after installing rom.
Now twrp will detect all data from sd card

If it is already showing folders with random file names in the internal storage it means it needs to format data (to remove file encryption) which deletes all files in the internal storage.
Don't wipe system because it removes your OS.
Always secure backup before messing your device.

Sorry I thought you are also literally same issues with OP but then it's not. Are you able to reboot to twrp? And what is the whole story of you device? I mean if you are rooted, what ROM you came from and all that you did before the issues occur. And did you tried to switch slot? Since you wiped everything with system included then you have no OS installed. Did you tried to flash OS via OTG? Or flash via fastboot.
I flashed another os without deleting the internal storage but the storage is now showing in negative values. Story is The phone literally itself without doing anything started doing a download(odin) mode loop. So I deleted data, dalvik, cache, system partitions without internal storage since it has very very important files for me and a lot of projects for the university!!! and before and after the folders in internal storage in twrp shows as random numbers and letters. I don't know why since when the phone was working normally I was protecting it by fingerprint and a password. And when I installed a stock ROM after it without wiping the internal storage. The storage is showing in negative and yes I can still boot into twrp

Download a ROM, put it on a USB drive, use an adapter to convert USB to microUSB or USBC(whichever your device uses), connect the USB to your device, boot into TWRP, choose the Install option, when you get to where you choose your files, find the USB drive and flash your ROM.

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion.
I just want to know something.
I transferred the rom zip file to my phone as u said and i can also see it in internal storage.Am also able to flash it
The whole story is like i first unlocked my bootloader and then installed the custom recovery...I have heard thatto install a custom rom, u require root
But in the case i did not perform any root.So is it ok to flash the rom+it shows failed to clear cache and failed to mount /product errors highlighted in red colour.
Pls advice <3

No, root is not required to flash a ROM, all that is required is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
I suggest you start over by flashing the exact same stock firmware version that you had before modified the device to fix the errors, then unlock the bootloader again(if flashing the firmware locks the bootloader again), then flash TWRP again, download your ROM and place it in your internal storage, flash the ROM but do not wipe anything until after you have flashed the ROM, after flashing the ROM, factory reset the device and wipe cache and dalvik cache(but not system and not internal storage) then reboot the device.
