Help me please (noob @ flashing ROMS)

I loaded my Rogers HTC one X with the CyanogenMod 10 - Endeavor Unleashed | 027 | UNIFIED HBOOT. It worked for a bit but is now stuck in the loading screen. I connected it to my PC and put it in fastboot and attempt to reflash the boot img and nothing changes. I have attempted to find an original RUU as mine is corrupted.
I have read the forums and see alot of fixes if you can access the phone to move the files to the SD however I cant get to that point. I am sure this has been answered somewhere but i haven't been able to find it as yet.
This is my first attempt to use a ROM.. The phone was unlocked via HTC dev. I have since read I should have also turned the S-off but I missed that before I flashed the ROM.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Here is the info from the device.

I originally posted this in the wrong forum. I was told not to use the international ROMS. I did try flashing cm-10-20121126-NIGHTLY-evita using the One X One Click v 1.9. When I reboot it it just gives me the CM loading screen.

First, we don't have S-Off yet. Whoever told you that doesn't know what they're talking about.
Flashing international/Tegra3 roms on this phone, as you've learned, won't work. There are certain Tegra3 roms that will hard-brick you, but I've seen people recover from flashing the wrong CM10. If you can still get to the bootloader, you're okay.
It's possible you corrupted your sd card. Try reformatting it.

Also, try to format system and do factory reset using TWRP
While in a directory with ADB, fastboot and TWRP (custom recovery), Do the following command
fastboot boot TWRP.img
Then, in TWRP, go to wipe
Then go toilet pap--- oops
Jk but go to Factory Reset
When it's done, do wipe system
Then, finally install a rom and flash the kernel
Hope I helped!

Thank you for the idea.
I tried this but it goes to the HTC screen and stops.
Also I am now noticing that my SD is not accessible. I think I did something way wrong when I originally flashed the rom.

Did you wipe/factory reset in bootloader? That will completely wipe your sd card so that you have to reformat it.

Yes I did. The thing is I can't access the SD card to format it. when I try to mount the SD from the phone it does nothing either. I am very lost now.

Just plug it in and navigate to your phone in Explorer. You should then get a prompt to format it.

Are you in bootloader? Try a different cable, or different USB port.
Try plugging it in, shutting down, and rebooting to bootloader. Sometimes it takes some effort to get it to show up.

Go to my computer. Right click where it says removable storage .... format.. it WILL erase everything. But hey, at least you Still have a phone right

Thanks. this worked and I just finished flashing the new ROM and am waiting for it to complete and then I should be golden.

I just broke the whole phone..

Hello! Before you guys flame me with messages of how much dumb I am or anything similar - don't bother, i already know it and i regret it...
So... I have AT&T HTC One X, with Hboot 2.14, CID CWS__01 which i just destroyed as much as i could >.> Let me reproduce things i've tried..
First of i changed my CID to 11111111 and unlocked the bootloader - took me an hour, but i did it and it was working...
I've installed recovery, even rooted the ROM... But that wasn't enough - i wanted to install ParanoidAndroid ( and i didn't read that it needs S-OFF, realized that just after i installed it and rebooted the phone )..
So after a reboot, the white HTC logo it just went black screen and nothing else... So i've began to look up on forums if someone else had this kind of a problem...
Then i tried another 2 ROM's, which worked as well as PA - just black screen...
So i thought - maybe i'll do everything from scratch ? Why not, I changed CID back to stock, wiped everything etc. and locked the bootloader....
But now I've got a weird problem - i can't change CID with "fastboot oem writecid" - it returned me error
(bootloader) elite_init_sd, SD card already power on
(bootloader) sdhw_7xxx_open: id=0
(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] SD: No device attached
(bootloader) 902910 902E20
FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory))
finished. total time: 1.282s

So now i have no access to recovery, so i can't even do anything to the storage, the phone doesn't boot up, tried RUU for ATT version ( RUU_Evita_UL_ATT_US_1.44.502.1_Radio_0.15.3201.09_release_249105 - i guess its for HBoot 1.44, not 2.14 >.> ) it just showed me an error that it couldn't send data to the phone and i should check my connection to the phone ( drivers are installed and working fine )
I've also tried fastbooting the OTA zip to the phone - well, the phone is on S-ON and it just declines any zip that i try to flash
Also i lost connection to ADB - its impossible to connect to it while phone is in bootloader, right? : /
So i'm left with empty phone without any rom, recovery - anything...
Is there any way of fixing it ? Its 5th hour where i just sit and try to look up for any information, but I just can't find anything...
I guess i just hard bricked the phone and i can try to play some volleyball with it >.>

Your mistake was thinking that you needed s-off to flash the ROM(s), you don't, all you needed to do was flash the boot.img via fastboot after flashing the ROM with your recovery. There's an Evita FAQ thread which contains this information stickied at the top of the q&a section you've posted this thread in . This is in no way intended to flame you, just show you the catalyst point for this mayhem.
Anyway, what is your current CID? Check it with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
You must be connected in fastboot mode (bootloader) in order for fastboot commands to work (and in answer to your question, no, adb does not work in fastboot mode, only in Android and in recovery).

I should mention that the battery was at ~95% at the time i was trying to flash/do anything.
So, is there any way to make at least recovery working? As for now i flash recovery using fastboot flash, but that does nothing - it says that its done, but when i get into bootloader and check recovery then enter it, it goes to white htc logo and goes back to bootloader >.>
EDIT!!!!!
I managed to get it working! I downloaded RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial which worked flawlessly and stock ROM just booted up! Jesus christ, thank You internet for providing exact links to the RUU's etc >.> I guess i'll try to not brick the phone again ^^ Thanks for the reply again : )

Glad to see you're all working now. But you need to edit your IMEI out of your post asap, never post your IMEI publicly.

Stuck in Bootloader after Flashing RUU (No Custom Recovery)

Yesterday I went through the process of unlocking my bootloader, rooting the phone and then S-OFF via Sunshine. After completing these steps, I attempted to flash a RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/development/ruu-sprint-htc-one-e8-1-22-651-1-stock-t2952981) - the reason for this being I am attempting to unlock my SIM for use on another carrier. So, I was able to successfully flash the RUU via fastboot commands (followed these instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ybu7fZa41so) and then rebooted the device. Upon rebooting the device, I was able to use the phone for 10 seconds or so before it automatically reboot itself. This happened several times before the bootloop stopped and I was able to use the phone just fine. Thinking everything was working, I proceeded to the next step in unlocking my SIM (outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...51-1-stock-t2952981/post57116360#post57116360) which was to flash a zip (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1417208962). Upon flashing the zip, I was unable to successfully reboot the phone. Instead, I am only able to access the bootloader and TWRP recovery.
I am currently at a loss for what to do. One issue is that I may have attempted to flash the RUU and subsequently the zip while my phone was low battery (roughly <15%; I've read this can cause issues but I'm not 100% sure). I am currently charging my phone in hopes that this may solve the issue but I am not entirely optimistic.
I realize that I am an idiot for not having a stock rooted TWRP backup - I actually did create one (albeit on my internal storage) which was subsequently deleted when flashing the RUU. I have not been able to find a stock rooted backup of the Sprint HTC One E8 (perhaps I am not looking in the right places), could anyone help me find this? Or should I try to flash the RUU linked above again (am I wrong in assuming this would serve as a custom recovery)?
I am concerned that I may have bricked my phone...so any help at all would be appreciated.

Hope I can help. First the good news- you have not bricked your phone. Now the (not so) bad news- you are in a bit of a mess but will be able to come out with a functional phone.
It sounds like you have a Sprint phone and tried to flash another RUU.
I need to know exact model number of your phone, MID, CID stock ROM etc and what RUU you had tried to use.
The easiest way would be to find a stock RUU that your phone had come with, rename it to 0PAIJMG.zip and put in the root of an external micro sd and reboot the phone in bootloader and let the phone reinstall the original RUU (as you have already done once).
Before, you try to flash another RUU make sure you have superCID and have modified MID as well ( there are plenty of discussion on this in this forum).

Alright, so after a day of tinkering with things I think I may have resolved the issue (but not achieved my goal of unlocking the SIM).
I ended up getting superCID, and flashing the current RUU for the Sprint HTC One from HTC's website. The phone is now up and running on 2.32.651.7. I did this by downloading the .exe. file straight from HTC's website and following the utility instructions. I was previously trying to manually flash 1.22.651.1.
So my phone is up and running, however I would still like to unlock the SIM. I am following the instructions in the link I provided in my previous post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-...0#post57116360) but am somewhat hesitant to re-flash the 1.22.651.1 RUU as instructed in the guide considering what I just went through. I know that I would be able to just revert back to my current RUU which is stable, but I'm not inclined to go through with the process if it is just a dead-end. Would I be able to go through with the instructions (specifically everything including flashing the zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1417208962 and onwards) and still be able to successfully unlock the SIM from the 2.32.651.7 RUU? Or do you think it specifically requires the 1.22.651.1 RUU to work?
I'm not familiar with MID or why I need to modify it, could you elaborate or should I just look into other forum posts?
As for my phone info, here you go: (I used the command fastboot getvar all; not sure if this is what you wanted)

OK so I'm pretty sure what is causing problems is the step outlined here - "flash the attached zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1417208962". Apparently the file is supposed to grant write access to modify an APK file and allow the phone to be rooted, however, whenever I flash the zip file from TWRP recovery, I am no longer able to boot into my OS...instead I boot straight to recovery. Not sure why this is - any help would be appreciated!

Only Boots to boot menu says Tampered

I'm wondering if anyone can help with this. The phone is an Unbranded UK LTE One SV that was previously running Stock Jellybean 4.22. (Manufacturer No: 99HSH008-00).
I had it from new and it was never flashed or rooted or had S off etc. It started to play up so I got another device. At one point I was able to reset it and it worked but then randomly when it booted it would only boot to a black screen with a clock at the top. Like it had not loaded all the OS. After a while it would then just power off. Now I can't get past the boot menu. I'm trying to determine if this is a hardware fault or if it just needs to be reflashed to stock if the ROM has been corrupted.
The menu says as per attached picture :
TAMPERED
LOCKED.

I notice it gets very hot if left for a while in this menu and the battery drains quickly. Factory reset just takes me back to the same menu as does recovery. After the HTC screen it says in red that this version is for development purposes only under. I note that on other screen shots from other devices it say the memory size next to the eMMC Boot, whereas mine has none. When connected via USB the phone is recognised on the PC in Device manager. Is there any hope or anything I can try?
Any help appreciated.

Since posting I've done the following:
First I've Unlocked my phone at the htcdev site successfully.
So now it shows this in the Boot menu
Then following instructions from here: Root for HTC One SV UPDATED 23/02/13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113671
I then flashed recovery.img using the downloaded file on the thread labelled as the stock recovery.
I just realised though that this file is called k2u_recovery_signed.img (which i had re-named to recovery.img)
but my phone is a K2 UL. Is this the wrong recovery file to flash with? I'm unable to enter recovery mode the phone just get stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen with the red development version writing underneath or just reboots in a loop. It still doesn't boot properly.
I can't seem to find the correct recovery.img.
I looked on this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317379
where there are 2 files for K2 UL European.
Jelly Bean (uploaded OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.6-2.14.401.2)
and
Jelly Bean (uploaded OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.2-1.17.401.5_R)
I am able to download the 2nd file from google docs but the 1st from app.box.com can't seem to be downloaded by any of my browsers.
I reflashed the 2nd K2UL recovery.img from Jelly Bean (uploaded OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.2-1.17.401.5_R)
But it still doesn't go into recovery mode. I sometimes get the green download arrow then it goes black or just goes straight to black so i guess its not the right file either. Is there an alternate link for the other file anywhere, so I can try that?
recovery.img
Md5Sum: B219A04154A3ED29271B14F120FDE853
I was unable to enter recovery before this so think it was already corrupted.
having no luck finding that recovery assuming its the right one. leaving it for now.

I think, that you can't boot into recovery, is a problem of mismatching files. You are using older recovery files with latest firmware.
But at least i don't know what software/firmware you are running on your phone, so try to get some more info by using fastboot with the following cmd:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Put the output here without serial and imei numbers.
For a recovery which works with latest software, look here.
At all, this thread is a good start, if you are looking for something this phone related.

Thank you for the prompt reply, here's the info. The boot menu is now frozen so will have to remove the battery to try again and flash with that recovery you recommended. The link for TWRP 2.8.4.0 touch recovery on that thread is now dead. Is the latest version from here on (https://twrp.me/devices/htconesvlte.html) ok? It appears that
twrp-2.8.5.0-k2_ul.img is the newest compatible. Will this replace the stock recovery (that presently is likely the wrong one as the file on the other thread was non downloadable for me from app.box.com. Another link would be great, assuming its the correct file.
My aim is to get this phone working again, initially as stock jellybean 4.22 so it can be used then maybe experiment. As of now its still S-ON and unrooted but with an unlocked bootloader, but wont work at all.

You don't need stock recovery (anymore). As your system won't boot, you need another way to get your phone working and the key for this is a custom recovery.

Your fastboot output seems to be some kind of "cutout". Should look like this:

This is good and the next step forward.
Now, from TWRP recovery, you have 2 options to get your system working:
- you can flash a stock or custom rom
- you can restore a stock backup
It's up to you now!

Ok thanks, not sure what you mean by it being a "cut out". Mine is a non SIM locked unbranded UK One SV. Prior to it going faulty it had never been flashed or rooted etc.
EDIT:
Ah I see some of the info never pasted correctly I just noticed. Here it is in full.

Bearing in mind that the bootloader is now unlocked , but its still is S-ON and unrooted what is the next step for me to recover the newest JB4.22 that I had earlier and have the phone rooted. Do I need to have S off before in order to flash a ROM back on?
I have already downloaded several files but not sure which is the correct one and the procedure.
I already have:
OTA_K2_UL_JB422_SENSE50_MR_HTC_Europe_3.11.401.1-2.14.401.6_release_338297mseg08soslxcubit.zip (431MB)
(MD5: 0d6c763962fdc8915096b11b84329dc1)
PL80IMG_K2_UL_JB422_SENSE50_MR_HTC_Europe_3.11.401.1_Radio__1.18.40a.00.05_10.81a.40.23L_release_338297.zip (674MB)
(MD5: 336f6d914ac4b7799dca4d35bfe536ed)
Thank you again for your help.

No, S-off needed.
I think the easiest way is to restore a TWRP backup: you can use this twrp backup to restore a working OS on your phone.
This is not to flash, you must use restore.
The location on ext_sdcard for the backup is:
\TWRP\BACKUPS"Put here the serial number of your device"\Backup files you have downloaded
Or the location where the files have to be that TWRP can recognise them, explained by another guy:
Modding.MyMind said:
TWRP (folder) >> BACKUPS (folder)>> Serial Device (folder)>> Name of Backup (folder)>> backup files
If those folders do not exist as listed above then make them. Serial device will be the devices actual serial number, by typing and entering, fastboot devices, will display the serial number. Name that folder as such.
The folder which is referred to the name of the backup you can simply call it whatever. For example, help_me_422.
Place backup files inside the "help_me_422" folder.
Go to main menu of the TWRP, click on restore, you backup will be on the external sdcard so insure you select that storage so the backup will appear as an option. Now select the backup. A list for system, boot, etc, etc will appear with boxes and a check in those boxes. Now swipe to restore.

Thank you for the info.
So as you said there is no need for S-Off now.
On 1st attempt the Restore failed as I put the zip file itself into the last folder as opposed to all the individual files themselves and their MD5's [boot.emmc.win, data.ext4.win, recovery.log, system.ext4.win]. The restore then said it completed successfully.
Still the phone will not work and gets stuck on startup with the HTC screen with the red development only version writing underneath.
I notice that the external SD card which shows its size next to it but the internal SD card is showing as 0MB. And also when the 1st restore failed it reported that it was unable to mount the Internal SD memory. The same is true after the restore success, it says unable to mount int_sd. (See pics below). is there a way to test the internal memory to see if there is another problem or does it need re partitioning, if this isn't done via the restore process itself?

Hm, sounds not so good...
Well, i don't know this TWRP version exactly, as it is long time ago i used it.
But go to the wipe menu and look, if there (or under wipe - advanced) is an option something like "repair broken filesystem" or so (can't remember exactly what it is called).
If yes, go there and try if this option can help.

on the main menu there is WIPE - that says it does a factory reset, Wipes Cache and Dalvik
Or
There is an Advanced as you remembered well where you can choose the partitions
Dalvik cache
Cache
Data
Int SD
Android Secure
SD card
System
Either you can select to wipe the selected partitions or with another button at the bottom Repair or Change File System
I selected IN_SD and clicked to Repair and it showed as being 0MB then Failed as per attached pics. I was able to repair the cache and Dalvik cache but the Int SD still saying unmountable. Same result not working.

Ok, it seems that you only have one chance for your phone, a ruu.
Download this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960683578
Rename the zip file to PL80IMG.zip (make sure it is not named PL80IMG.zip.zip) and copy it in the external sdcard.
As you are S-on, you need to lock your bootloader again, first. Do this with the fastboot cmd
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then boot into the bootloader and let the phone recognize the PL80IMG.zip. Confirm to update with vol+ and let it run until its finished.

Ok now while having selected the Int SD partition instead of selecting Repair I selected Change File System and then in there selected FAT, it completed and has gone back to this menu but now shows as being 4239MB as opposed to 0MB.
I will have another look at it later but presently its still not booting to the system.
Now in the Restore menu the Internal is showing 4239MB also instead of 0Mb.
So I'm trying a restore again. Fingers crossed....
This time no errors regarding mounting the Int SD but on Rebooting it goes to HTC with red writing for 30 sec then goes off.

Give the Ruu a try. It should restore everything to stock, if possible.

Thanks i posted the last post before seeing your reply about the RUU. I will give that a go and report back. After i tried the restore again (after the int Sd came back) the int sd again went back to 0MB and being unmountable. i had to fix it and format again for it to reappear as 4gb.
I relocked the bootloader so it now says Tampered and Relocked.
Re booted into the bootloader with the Ext sd card in with the PL80IMG.zip. at its root. (MD5 all ok)
First it says loading... [PL80DIAG.zip]
No Image!
Then loading... [PL80DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Then Loading... [PL80IMG.zip]
After finding it it then says
Checking....[PL80IMG.zip]
But then remains in the bootloader after a minute or two when finished. Nothing happens for me to confirm with Vol+. I have no option to update?
If I choose Recovery from the bootloader it immediately just reboots to the bootloader again.
in fact whatever i do now it just goes straight back to the bootloader.

Ok, in this case i think you are out of luck. Sorry to say, but something seems broken, which even a ruu can't fix.

Just a thought, correct me if I'm wrong. Does the RUU require a working Recovery? If you remember my Recovery was previously corrupted I believe and before putting on TWRP there was no working stock recovery. Now TWRP is no longer available (because the bootloader is re-locked?) there is no working stock recovery to revert to in order to flash the RUU. If this is so is there a way to unlock the bootloader then put back a correct stock Recovery then re-lock it and use the RUU?

No, usually not. The Ruu has the stock file itself inside.
But, of course, you can try it. In this case you need to unlock bootloader again, then you can flash it with fastboot cmd.
I can upload the recovery.img if you want.
For the unlock you can use the already existing unlock_code.bin, i think.

Well it's worth a go I guess. Thank you that Recovery image would be very useful as I was unable to locate it or download from the app box link. My friend still uses his One SV so could come in useful at some point anyway.
I've re-Unlocked the Bootloader again and TWRP is still present and working when I select Recovery.
I'll wait for your new upload of the correct stock Recovery image and try with that.
Thanks again

TWRP black screen since Oreo upgrade

I only just upgraded to Oreo a few weeks ago - mostly delayed by my CID / dual SIM model causing me to not receiving the OTA for ages. I just noticed today that TWRP no longer works. All that happens is the screen turns black, still backlit, and oddly enough, fastboot devices still lists it.
I use fastboot boot <twrp.img> so I can keep the stock recovery installed. I'm hesitant to try flashing TWRP as I don't have a backup of the current recovery, and can't see how to make one. I suppose to restore it, I could track down a link for the OTA I applied to extract it from, but I doubt flashing TWRP would help anyway.
I've tried all the versions available from the TWRP website:
Code:
twrp-3.1.1-1-ocn.img
twrp-3.2.1-0-ocn.img
twrp-3.2.1-1-ocn.img
twrp-3.2.1-2-ocn.img

Could it be to do with some partition structure change that could be part of my model's Oreo update that TWRP has yet to reflect? I don't know what else could cause this.
Does TWRP place a log file somewhere?
Is it even getting into the TWRP boot process at all? The fact it's still listed in fastboot devices is intriguing.
I've been rooting for several years, and as a developer and avid Arch Linux user, I tend to be able to sort out most issues myself, and so only have the need to post very rarely. I've tried hard to find information on this issue, but I'm completely stumped and would very much appreciate some help. Cheers!
Edit: I thought I should probably try flashing it just in case - lo and behold, it worked! Though I'm still quite curious as to why booting directly could have stopped working.

Twrp versions are now related to the android versions, at least for htc. I think I remember reading something to do with the encryption and how twrp interacts with the os..
Newest os = newest twrp. Once you have the device running don't change/upgrade twrp. It is meant to be safe but i dont trust it.

I do recall seeing something to do with encryption, actually. Surely they're aiming for backwards compatibility though. And I'd like to think it'd show a message if it's not working.
