Bricked my phone trying to update to 4.2! Help!

Hello, all. I've spent the last four hours trying update my AT&T HTC One X running Android 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 and I failed hard!
First, I used the all-in-one toolkit to unlock my bootloader, flash clockwork recovery, and root the phone. The first guide I was following gave me error status 7 when I tried to flash the ROM so I wen to this guide:
update-htc-one-x-cm101-android-422-jelly-bean-custom-firmware/2/ (from team android website)
I got to the step below using the SDK I downloaded from dev.android.com and now my phone is dead! The HTC logo appears and then it goes to a black screen. Luckily, I can still reach my fastboot and clockwork recovery menu but nothing I try makes the phone boot.
Step 8 - Type the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Step 9 - Then, type the following command and press Enter.
fastboot reboot
I just want my phone back to normal please! I don't care about rooting anymore. Thank you.

Alright, the ROMs you've been trying to flash are for the quad core One X... please stay in this forum and you should be good to go!
Any ROMs and kernels from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1541 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1726. Try to flash something from there and report back (you'll still need to flash boot.img

Thank you very much for your help? Could you please point me to a ROM to flash? I looked through those links and have no idea which to pick/what to do. It doesn't even have to be 4.2...I just want a working phone again. Thanks again!

Well... What would you like? Completely stock? Sense with tweaks? 4.2 with minor tweaks? 4.2 with a ton of tweaks?

4.2 with minor tweaks sounds great! Although right now I kinda just want to the stock "boot.img" to verify that my phone is still usable and not totally bricked.

Alright then CM10.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064621 and AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064724 will both suit you. These have the different boot.img than stock, but just extract and fastboot flash boot boot.img and you should be good to go!

Quick update...I flashed boot.img of the first link (CynogenMod) and my phone got passed the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen! But now it seems stuck on HTC One (Beats Audio at the bottom) screen. I'll give it a few minutes...
I'm really worried that I did major damage to my phone in the bootloader and clockwork recovery menus. I literally tried every single option there trying to get my phone to boot earlier.

Oh man...it seems stuck. Maybe I should just flash the completely stock boot.img file. If that works, I will factory reset my phone just to make sure everything is back to how it was before.

Dude it sounds like you're trying to flash a cm boot.img with a Sense ROM, that ain't gonna work. You can't just extract a boot.img and flash it with a different ROM.
You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM you're about to flash, then flash that ROM, then flash the boot.img you just extracted.

Thanks for your help man. If what you're saying is correct, does that mean my phone is hopeless? I deleted/wiped everything using the ClocworkMod Recovery menu. When I choose "install zip from sdcard" I get "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" and when I try to mount an sdcard I get "Error mounting /sdcard". I don't think I can flash any ROMs right now unless install zip from sideload is an option (I don't know how sideloading works).

Try using TWRP recovery instead, you'll find it here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
Download it, check md5 is correct, then:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
(Filename = exact TWRP recovery filename)
Then issue this command:
fastboot erase cache
Then:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should be able to select recovery on your phone screen and it should boot into TWRP. Next go to mount and mount usb storage. See if it comes up in Windows, it might need to be formatted from the sounds of it. If it doesn't show up as a usable drive, format it to fat32.
Once that's done you should be able to copy a ROM to your phone to flash. So copy it over, then extract the boot.img from the copy on your pc, then put the boot.img in your fastboot folder.
Do a full wipe in recovery (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system), then install the ROM, then reboot to bootloader, make sure phone is connected by usb, make sure fastboot usb comes up on your phone screen then issue the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Make sure it's the boot.img from the ROM you just flashed. Now once that's done you should be able to reboot into the ROM.

This sounds like a good plan. I will give it a try tomorrow after work. Thank you guys for your help!

I couldn't sleep...so I followed your steps and my phone is now alive! Thank you!
I think now I need to flash GApps, right? I have this ---> gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Any chance that's the wrong zip file? Do I need a special one for CM10.1?

That's the right gapps zip, it's the most recent one so yeah you're good to flash it.
And no problems, you're welcome

Can't flash twrp need help!

Okay so I received my opo today and wanted to unlock and root etc.. I managed to install drivers and download a toolkit which managed to unlock my bootloader but wouldn't flash the recovery so I attempted it manually via fastboot and after flashing it would reboot to a back screen then vibrate and reboot to system.. Been doing that all night? Any ideas? many thanks in advance new to this phone

Exactly what recovery version are you trying to flash? What OS is on the phone? Get rid of the toolkit, they're nothing but trouble.

Twrp 2.8.1. And its running android 4.4.4 cyanogen mod.. I have mate haha. I take it fastboot and adb are installed correctly as it shows my opo after typing fastboot devices and it unlocked my boot loader soo I'm confused

Try flashing the recovery again, followed by this command
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Then try booting into recovery.
PS. You've unchecked the "update CM recovery" option in Developer Options, right?

same problem for me. tried manually installing any custom recovery, tried two different toolkits. it flashes and reboots, but then you can never enter the recovery app. even attempting to put stock back fails. i attempted the format the cache and that didn't do a thing for me. basically had to enable cm recovery updates and reset to factory in the os. after that i was back to scratch at least.

I was able to figure it out. Appears the version of TWRP is quite particular for some reason. Once I tried the latest build from here dl dot twrp dot me/bacon/ the problem was solved. Thanks for the tip @snickler

[Q] cm11 -> cm12 flashing issues

so, i recently updated my oneplus one from cm11 to cm12.1 and when cm12 loaded in, i got a repeated message that com.android.phone has stopped and the quick settings bar displayed that i had no sim card in. so i tried reflashing, and the same problem. i redownloaded and reflashed... same problem.
so, i went into twrp and performed a full wipe, thinking that i'd push a new zip using twrp's mount function. the problem is, when i went to mount, no drive appeared on my computer. and when i went to fastboot to flash it manually, fastboot said that 'Image is not a boot image' . the same thing happens whenever i try to re-flash recovery as well. so how can i get an os back on the system if fastboot won't cooperate and twrp is essentially useless?
tldr; no os on oneplus one, fastboot wont flash boot image, twrp mount and twrp adb wont do anything. What do?

What's the exact command you're using with fastboot? Are you only attempting to flash the boot.img? If so, why only that?

You didn't answer my question, why are you giving that command? There are a dozen or so commands that you're meant to give when flashing with fastboot. The only time you use that command is when you're just trying to flash a kernel.

Well it depends on what you're trying to do. As I said, the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command will only flash a kernel. You really shouldn't be messing around with fastboot if you don't actually know what you're doing, that's how phones get bricked. Go to my guide and follow the instructions in section 8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471

[SOLVED]
apparently sometime between me instlling cm11 and installing cm12, my oem got re-locked. which prevented me from flashing anything new.
i ran:
fastboot oem unlock
and fastboot flash boot boot.img
and voila

I haven't tested fastboot but it should work. TWRP works 100%

Thank you very much, you are a life saver!!
I was stuck in a TWRP loop.
I tried flashing through TWRP but it didn't work but the fastboot method worked like a charm!
My phone is running again.

Thank you very much.

For some reason on my unlocked nokia 1 it started to ask password after flash and boot and gkeyboard always crashes on boot. So, I thought flashing fresh userdata might help.

I wrote in the instructions...
If you get a password just enter a random one, then it will ask you to wipe the device, click ok and it will reboot to recovery and then wipe userdata and boot fine.
just make sure you flash the recovery.bin and not twrp before you wipe

Same happened to me. I solved it by a hard reset via the stock recovery.
Make sure you flash the recovery.bin like Sooti said.
Wiping through twrp doesn't work.

Nice, working twrp for Nokia 1.
I buyed this phone today. Waiting for customs

A little warning.
It looks like the recovery.bin I took from another nokia 1 device doesn't match the checksum check which causes a failed during ota updates, please only flash this rom if you soft bricked your device.
If anyone can get me TA-1060 stock recovery image that should solve it. for now you can't update the phone until a fix is found

I have Nokia Ta 1066. Will this rom work on mine? Also I read somewhere Ta 1060 is single sim variant. What about the second sim?
Has anyone with TA 1066 tried it?

Thanks. Both methods work fine. Don't ask how I found out.....

Can you share how you managed to backup stock recovery file. Maybe after all the steps above we can flash our own device recovery to make ota work again...

Hey guys i have a TA-1056 and after unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP it booted to recovery and came up encrypted, after looking around the only solution was to format data, afterwards when rebooting it always boots to recovery, i tried flashing this zip and i get the same issue and i can't find the stock ROM for the 1056 anywhere online, can anyone help me out? i really appreciate it

Sir, is that possible to get a stock rom of TA 1056 ?
I have searched everywhere but whole thing available over net just left my phone bricked. All i need is a working rom source. Even if that’s a custom rom too to flash via sp flash tool. Thanks in advance

[SOLVED] Asking Experts for Solving Bootloop Nokia 8

So, I want to say that my Nokia 8 TA-1004 is having Bootloop. This happens very occasionally and randomly. It just attacks unexpected. I can't see what is the problem or what's the source of it. Thankfully, I have the logcat file. However, I do not understand what was the main cause. So please, I am asking the experts in here to help me identify the source of this error.
The Bootloop just boot like 4-5 times and then stopped Bootloop or sometimes just go straight to DOWNLOAD MODE and I had to restart manually. After that, i was able to gointo system like exploring like usual, and then it happens again. Sometimes not opening the app also happens. Repeat until you gets the nerve.
The phones status is rooted with magisk and unlocked bootloader but no twrp yet. Also, I am at 4.88B SP01 June,01 patch. If you are telling me that the root is the cause, then it is unlikely since it has been weeks since I had it rooted but the problem just came these recently.
Once again, I ask for the help of forumers here. I want to at least enjoy my phone that I love. I dont really want to sell the phone anymore.
Here's the link of logcat:
https://www16.zippyshare.com/v/2W0SVK8t/file.html
I promise. No viruses. Thank you

Hey, I suspect that this problem could be fixed by flashing original bootloader image.
I assume you have flashed an unsuitable image and I think you are using an unlocked bootloader, that's why you are facing this problem.

Do you mean flashing original Boot.img? As we know, to gain root, we need to flash patched boot.img with magisk. Do you mean this kind of issue? I notice the problem is in Android System. It says failed to load as data may corrupt. Google is also not responding and Google play services.
Unlocked Bootloader isnt the issue. But, I do think image is unsuitable. However, I have patched boot.img as the same as the version of Nokia. Is such thing still happen?

now do one thing. flash stock boot img (will break wifi), after that download official twrp and boot into it. then from twrp flash twrp zip file provided with official boot img. reboot to twrp and flash latest magisk beta. (you will have wifi working after this)
This way you will get root and stable system.. no need to flash patched boot img anymore..
Make sure to revert back to stock boot first before flashing twrp..

sumitinhome, I just did factory reset. The problem STILL HAPPENS. It means it wasn't any of the app but from the system or the boot.img itself perhaps.
With no way to enter the system, how do i get into the fastboot now? By pressing volume down + Power (That shows DOWNLOAD MODE)? Is that the fastboot? Then yet again, the only issue that I have is the exactly driver for Nokia 8. I found lots of drivers in the internet but I am quite confused which one is the real driver of Nokia 8 to be able to detect in fastboot and ADB. Do you have a driver installer?
Assuming if you will have given Nokia driver and I managed to get into fastboot mode by using hard key, do I type this command?
fastboot flash boot.img? Or is it wrong command?
Thank you and sorry if i ask too many questions.

1. download mode is fastboot mode.. no difference there.
2. unfortunately i dont have installer for drivers but you can find it if you browse nokia section in this forum.
3. you will need command 'fastboot flash boot_a boot.img' and 'fastboot flash boot_b boot.img' to flash stock boot img to your phone..
4. if you wish to install twrp then you will need to follow instructions from following thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/official-twrp-nb1-t3832232
Make sure to read the thread and comments carefully before doing anything.
Hope it helped.

Hey there, thanks for the fast respond. It greatly helps.
Alright, I am waiting for the driver. Also, I checked anywhere in the forum section of Nokia 8 but none of them have 00WW_4.88bSP01 version of stock boot.img which is 1st June 2018 patch.
Do you happen to have had it? Is it okay if i ask for it? Thank you.

Yes sumitinhome, thank you so much. Try make it one upload with the driver. All that and I will do the fastboot command asap..
Oh yeah, one verify question. When the bootloader is unlocked, updating the newest ROM after august will lock the bootloader again or not? Some say yes, some say no. A member name hikari stated no, we are unaffected. But, some say relock again. Which is true?

Ah ha, thank you very much. I just need one more requirement. The driver. Honestly, there are so many drivers for Nokia 8 and none of them seems to work with my device detection. There's also type F, M driver..... Seriously confusing.

@sumitinhome, you are awesome. I must say thank you for helping me. Phone is no longer in bootloop state. However, I may require just little more help. I have also installed TWRP and succeeded. The problem is that the WIFI breaks. I went ahead and installed Magisk using zip one like you mentioned the steps in installing TWRP. It still doesn't solve the WIFI problem. How could this be? (Do note that I did not use fastboot flash twrp.img. I use fastboot boot twrp.img instead)
I also have other questions. During MTP in TWRP, I saw the partition drive; The internal storage and USB-OTG as given in picture below. What is the second drive meaning?
Second question is why is Magisk manager only showing Installed version v17.1? And the button is just uninstalled. I recall there are other buttons and feature like Safety Net and advance settings.
Finally, I want to know how do we get into recovery mode without using ADB command everytime? I tried pressing Volume UP + Power. But, it didn't go into TWRP. It just goes normal reboot.
Thank you so much once again.

Do one thing.
Flash stock boot img again. and after that do the following
1) Full charge your phone.
2) Get a MicroSD card ( 8 or 16 GB )
3) Download this - https://mega.nz/#!mRZHDaJI!3KrT2F0ZE...KQux5EvPWVGI_4
4) Copy it to SDCARD from your PC.
5) Put the SD card in ur mobile.
6) Go to recovery
7) Select update, from SDCARD - start flashing by pressing power button.
This will get back wifi. after that you can update to latest august patch too if you want and then flash twrp.
And about that OTG thing, don't worry twrp is being updated it will be fixed very soon. People are working on it.

I see. Number 3 has Encryption. Also, before i can do this, i have a new problem. I was so stupid. I accidentally format everything including the system which leaves me NO OS. I should have just wipe data (factory reset). Not advanced wipe. Can I still install Stock rom (any version) with twrp? What do i do?

@sumitinhome, also I forgot to mention. SD Card and Internal storage is not detected in TWRP Mode. I checked in my PC. ADB Sideload is also fail. Is this the end of my phone fate?
EDITED: Never mind. I was using the obsolete TWRP Version. I updated to the latest one and SD Card and internal is detected in TWRP once again.
