Stuck trying to install custom rom

Okay so I am trying to install the jdroid rom, btw first time ever doing this so bare with me, anyways I can't boot my phone stays at HTC quietly brilliant screen with some writing underneath it red. I can get into the bootloader menu, where I am rooted and says my bootloader is unlocked. I can also get into clockwork mod however I messed up when transferring the rom onto my phone. I unzipped it and put it there instead of leaving it in the zip file. I can't mount to my laptop through clockwork mod, is there any other way? Again I can't boot my phone. Thanks
EDIT: Now whenever my phone boots, it boots into the clockworkmod and keeps rebooting I can't do anything, cant mount my phone at all

Yes ... instal this recowery (Link to the latest unofficial test recovery with USB issues fixed and automount by RichardTrip) and you can push your zip on SD

Thanks for the reply

But I'm still stuck at the boot screen

You need to enter the fastboot mode ... hold "volume-down + powerbutton" for 10 secs and then again push the powerbutton to enter the fastboot mode.
Edit: and after that use the comand fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Just saw the edit now will try thanks alot man appreciate it!

What you need to do when flashing:
a) CWM recovery
fastboot flash recovery xxxrecovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
b) Flashing a ROM
extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
enter recovery
install the ROM.zip
reboot

M.

as long as you can get the correct RUU and flash the correct stock recovery, RUU will defo work, then you can start again from scratch. I've done this myself
edit: AT&T????? Are you even in the correct forum using the correct files/methods??? HTC One XL is different forum, different files!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright I got out of it using the st&t ruu, though I live in Canada and on Rogers. Data doesnt work but that is not surprise. Gotta wait for a root access and/or bootloader unlock for 1.85. will be patient.

Cannot access flashboot / recovery - RESOLVED

Hi,
I've looked through a lot of threads but can't match the symptoms to mine (this could be a lack of knowledge on my part) so any help is appreciated.
I've previously flashed ARHD a number of times successfully including a new boot image. I flashed 9.2 today with CD Tools Suite and this was fine. I later decided that I wanted to re-flash without the CD Suite Tools and did this by going into recovery and re-flashing the ARHD zip.
The update ran successfully (per CWM) but I can't boot into it. All I get to is the HTC One white screen with a beats audio logo beneath it. I also can't get the phone to reboot into flashboot / recovery so that I can do anything with it (I've tried holding the power button and either vol up or down but this just reboots the phone and it goes back to the white screen again).
I'm sure there is a way out of this. Could anyone please help me?
Many thanks.

Did you use fastboot to flash the correct boot.img file first? It's my understanding that anytime you flash a rom you must flash via fastboot the correct boot.img file for that rom followed by erasing cache before entering recovery and flashing the rom.

Didn't someone say holding volume up & power can brick your phone?
Fastboot is volume down & power.
Press them at the exact same time, keep them held till fastboot loads up (even if it does another reboot)

They both use the same boot image so no need to re-flash that.

[Q] Device won't boot past HTC logo, please help!

Hi, after attempting to flash a custom ROM to my phone I'm experiencing a big problem, the phone will not boot past the HTC screen. This is obviously very frustrating as the phone is pretty much rendered useless.
I am able to get into the HBOOT menu by holding the Power button and Volume Down and from there am able to select Recovery and enter the ClockWork Mod recovery screens. As you can tell I'm a 100% noob and I really just want to revert my phone to a working state. My network is Vodafone UK. I can't find an RUU above version 3.13 which is apparently what I have (so it tries updating 3.13 to 3.13 and obviously fails).
Any help on getting my phone to work again would be very very appreciated, thanks.

Download a ROM onto your computer, connect to your phone in recovery, mount the sdcard, move the ROM from your computer onto your phone's sdcard, and flash from recovery. No need for RUU.

Dont forget to wipe.
wipe data/factory reset and format all partitions (except sd card) from recovery.
Go to bananagranolas link in her signature, you'll find everything you need there.

Thanks a lot for your help! I was attempting to flash the JellyTime ROM which I understand must have failed to result in my phone not booting properly. Should I flash a stock ROM or will any ROM suffice?

As long as you are S-OFF and have a custom recovery (CMW or 4EXT) you are able to flash any custom rom you like. Just make sure that you make a full wipe before the flashing (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system or in 4ext recovery just choose format all partitions except sdcard).
That should leave you up and running again.

Okay great!
I used the HTCDev tools to unlock my boot loader which I understand is different to S-OFF? Could that be while the ROM flashing failed originally?
EDIT: Upon trying to flash the JellyTime AKOP Rom I get a message saying install from SD card complete but it's still stuck at the HTC screen...

If you have an unlocked bootloder, then you have to flash the rom (previous full wipe of course) then reboot bootloader (from advanced options in CWM) and then in fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red in the phone when plugged to the pc) you have to flash the boot.img inside the rom zip folder.
Extract that file only (not the whole rom) and from a cmd session or terminal as root (located where the boot.img file is) type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done (you will get OKAY. finished near the bottom) you can reboot normally by typing in cmd fastboot reboot or choosing reboot from hboot.

My bootloader now says RELOCKED, how can I unlock it again? (I'm really sorry about this)

Use the token HTC sent you when u unlocked it. and typing in cmd the fastboot unlock command.

Okay done that, thanks a lot!
I'm now looking in the advanced options of CWM, I can see the option "Reboot Recovery" but no "Reboot Bootloader"?

Was the boot.img file flashed successfully?

Yes it said so...
EDIT: Not sure if this is an issue with the ROM of if I'm doing something wrong? I went to the "mounts and storage" section of CWM and clicked all the format options accept sdcard. I then installed ROM, went into fastboot and flashed boot.img, it said OKAY twice then finished. Still stuck at black, backlit screen after HTC screen. ROM is JellyTime by randomblame.

EDIT: well, don't I feel stupid. I knew full well from reading that your phone wasn't working, but posted a link to an app. Just not paying attention. Sorry about that.

VBQ24,
You can go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU from your PC.
(Edit: You should relock your bootloader first. you can do so from Hboot. There's an option that says relock bootloader or something like that)
The version of the RUU should be equal or greater to the version that came with your phone. Try this v3.13
However, if you want to flash a custom ROM:
You need to downgrade your device first, get s-off and root, then flash a custom ROM
You need to use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK), get it from here.
Make sure to read the manual (called 'effin manual) word by word. There are instructions on how to downgrade.
Follow the instructions, and if you have any questions, ask here.

[Q] Flashing boot img from stock to CM10-based ROM

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to flash "codename android jellybean" to my primoc one v.
I have it unlocked and rooted, thanks to xda. Where I get stuck is trying to flash the above ROM to the phone. I have put the ROM, gapps, and jellyboot5 into my SD card, then flashed those zips from clockworkmod recovery. I have put the boot.img I copied from the jellyboot5 folder into my fastboot folder on my PC.
My problem is that when I try to restart the phone from clockworkmod recovery into bootloader, the phone does the nexus animation, then goes straight back into clockworkmod recovery. I can't get to the white screen that gives me the option of choosing fastboot so that I can, in command prompt on my pc, flash the boot img.
I know I must be doing something wrong somewhere.

Hold and keep the power button for 10 second till the screen turns of and as soon as it turns off hold and keep the volume button.... to use see the fast boot...... other way is press and keep the power button and the volume down button for 10 to15 second

I was having the same problem I just re started and full wiped and then flashed everything then I used the tool kit to flash the boot.IMG I used to use my cmd prompt but I realized it wasnt even the right boot.IMG flashing as soon as I did the tool kit it worked. Good luck, trust me it did the same thing

I'm trying that but it just sends me right back to clockworkmod recovery. Can I confirm that I did the flashing steps correctly?
0) Wiped
1) flashed ROM
2) flashed GAPPS
3) flashed jellyboot
4) tried to restart into bootloader (but phone goes right back to clockworkmod recovery)
Did I make a mistake somewhere?

If you have ADB set up on your PC, From recovery plug in your phone bring up ADB. Type adb reboot bootloader
Don't try the button thing people have bricked there phone doing the button thing for too long.

Hey Im confused at what stage your at..
if i understand it you've flashed CM10, but *didn't* flash the CM10 compatible kernel... The Stock Kernel isnt compatible with CM.
If this happens one of two things will occur
1. The phone will hang on boot (aka softbrick)
2. the phone will go directly into CWM
I hit the same problem when I first flashed roms on the one v.
You basically need to reboot into the boot loader (flashboot) and flash the new (CM9) compatible kernel from there.
Alterntively if you get totally stuck use the "stockRRU" and recover your phone using that, (see thread on this)

That does sound like what my phone is doing. Initially it went straight into CWM, then it got further but would just hang on the colored "X" nexus animation.
At this point I tried to restore my stock nandroid, but even that wouldn't work, with the phone never getting off the "HTC quietly brilliant beats audio" screen.
As for flashing the correct kernel, was jellyboot5 not the kernel for this CM10 rom? And when I try to restore my stock (ICS) nandroid, does it matter that I've tried to flash a JB kernel, or is the stock kernel also restored?
Thanks for any help.

All right, tried that, phone is still endless stuck in the nexus colored X animation. Will wait another few minutes and then freaking go back to stock using RUU.
Edit: Holy s***, dude, you saved me. I was about to chuck the phone against a wall, until I read that you just did the entire process again, from wiping to flashing the rom, to flashing the boot image using the all-in-one tool. That did the trick. For about ten minutes I was seriously contemplating getting an iPhone. That's how dire this was. Thanks man!!!!!

dude,
ok I'll caveat this by saying I live in the uk so I have a GSM (primoU) not CDMA so I take no responsibility if this goes wrong.,...,
I'm guessing your using the rom in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927794
Reading the thread, here's what I think you should do the following
(Im assuming you've already flashed clockwork mod recovery)
Assumptions
1. You have already unlocked the phone using the HTC unlock procedure
2. You have already installed Clockworkmod recovery
Download the following :
- One All in one toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686
- ROM from http://www.mediafire.com/?ldhwd8vki17mbfe
- Kernel from http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/primoc/kernels/JellyBoot5.zip
- CM10 compatible GoogleApps (GAPS) http://cyano-rob.tuennerhoff-edv.de/GAPPS/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
steps
1. Copy the ROM onto the microSD, in a folder called say "rom", do not unzip it
2. Switch phone off by pressing the power down button for 10 seconds or so
3. Disconnect USB from the PC
4. Enter fastboot by first pressing and holding "volume - " and then pressing power button once and keep pressing "Volume - "
>>>>>> DO NOT PRESS "VOLUME+" <<< Important
The phone should reboot into fastboot
5. connect USB to PC
6. select fastboot (using vol +/- and press power)
Fastboot should now say "fastboot USB"
8. Unzip/install the All-In-One toolkit somewhere.. We wont be using it here, but installing this gives you fastboot/adb etc
9. Unzip the kernel from the kernel file, you should have a boot.img and put it in the kernels directory
9. cd <DirectoryOfAllInOneToolKit>/Data directory
10. Issue "fastboot flash boot Kernels/boot.img"
This should say something like sending boot.img, and then flashing boot.img..
11. Reboot phone with fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will bring you back to the fastboot screen, select recovery and that should bring you to Clockwork mod
12. select "install zip from zipfile", then choose-zip from SD Card, select your rom (zipfile) and say flash.
(hint : vol +/- go up down, and power selects)
13. When this is done, then install GAPS in the same way..
14. Finally you need to make sure all the caches and data is wiped. to do this enter the wipe menu and issue "factory reset/wipe data" and wipe dalvik cache
15. Finally select reboot and smile
That should be it! I O
Oh before i forget, the AllInOne package is cool, but as your in a semi brick situation and that all in one requires adb support Im not sure what it will do hence detailing the steps manually above.. For newbies this tutorial is still valid, but you need to unlock your phone first and install CWM . If you are coming from stock I would recommend using the all in one tool (above) GUI as it saves typing!
Hope this helps

I guess so, however you would need to check each different rom to be sure..
Also cybervibin is right, before rebooting the phone it is recommended to
- go into clockworkmod recovery, wipe menu and wipe data/factory reset
- also wipe dalvik cache

please, can anyone know how to fix it ? htc always was pain in ass to root, but this time i stuck. Many threads are similar, but mostly people stuck after they already rooted and flash rom, i don't go that far, not sure phone is even rooted, but bootloader is unlocked so far.

Mate, it sounds like your system is wiped, so the phone can't boot. Do you have any experience with fastboot and ADB commands?
If so, download a custom recovery (CWM, or TWRP, or Phil'z touch - recommended), place it in your fastboot folder, and type:
fastboot flash recovery downloadedrecoveryname.img in CMD window.
This wil enable you to use custom recovery.
Hopefully, you already have a custom ROM which you want to install. Extract boot.img from the ROM.zip, and place it in your fastboot older, and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img in CMD window, followed by fastboot erase cache.
Then, reboot to your recovery, and flash ROM.zip (I guess you don't need any specific instructions for that).

No, mate.
The ROM.zip goes to your sd card.
You can copy it through recovery, but mounting sd card.
In recovery you have all these options. Also, in ROM's thread (whichever you chose to flash) there is thorough instruction how to flash ROM.

Img is the correct format.

I believe you are capable of getting in bootloader and flashing through fastboot.

You are welcome, mate. I'm glad it worked for you. Enjoy your HOX, it's a great phone, and Viper is a great ROM.
I suggest you flash Alex V kernel. It will bring more nice features to your phone
